Could you build this?
Partial Most cleaner tools (junk cleanup, uninstaller, large file finder, disk map) are buildable, but the malware scan needs a maintained threat-signature database and the Mac health and battery metrics depend on low-level system APIs.
What it would actually take: Build a native Swift app using FileManager, IOKit for battery and hardware data, and disk usage scanning for the space tools. The malware scan needs a signature feed from a threat-intelligence source or an engine such as ClamAV, which is the hard part. Notarization, safe deletion logic and privilege handling also require macOS systems expertise.
