Could you build this?

Partial The settings UI and per-app scene logic are codeable, but turning the whole trackpad into a control surface depends on low-level macOS multitouch input and haptics, which usually rely on private frameworks and need native expertise.

What it would actually take: A real version needs a native Swift/AppKit app that reads raw multitouch data (historically via the private MultitouchSupport framework) and triggers haptics through the system APIs. Handling accessibility permissions, event tap conflicts, and macOS version changes requires someone experienced with low-level macOS input.
