Could you build this?
Partial A local web proxy with QR code pairing is vibe-codeable, but building a native macOS menu bar app paired with an iOS app that synchronizes DOM events, scroll positions, and reloads requires native Swift and WebSocket bridge engineering.
What it would actually take: The architecture consists of a macOS menu bar app (Swift/AppKit) acting as a reverse proxy server, an iOS companion client (Swift/WebKit), and injected JavaScript to monitor and broadcast DOM mutations, scroll offsets, and theme states over WebSockets. The challenge lies in cross-device synchronization latency, local network discovery (Bonjour/mDNS), and zero-configuration HTTPS/port tunneling on macOS and iOS.
