Could you build this?
Partial The launcher, dock, and music UI are buildable in Swift, but the notch integration and per-monitor window management depend on fragile macOS system APIs that vibe coding alone handles poorly.
What it would actually take: Build a native macOS app in Swift/SwiftUI with AppKit for window and dock behavior, and use the Music/MediaRemote APIs for playback control. The hard parts are notch-area window placement, which often relies on undocumented or private APIs that change between macOS versions, and multi-monitor layout persistence. Expect to need someone who has shipped macOS system utilities and can debug window-server behavior across OS releases.
