Could you build this?
Partial A menu bar app and a launcher for cloned app bundles are buildable with Swift and shell scripting. Making copies work reliably across apps needs macOS-specific knowledge of code signing, bundle IDs and sandbox containers, and that is hard to get right with vibe coding alone.
What it would actually take: The approach copies each .app bundle, gives it a new bundle identifier and a separate data directory, re-signs it, and creates a Dock entry. The hard parts are code signing and notarization, handling sandboxed apps and keychain entries, and updating the copies without losing logins. This requires solid macOS systems knowledge and testing across many apps.
