Could you build this?
Partial The UI and preferences are approachable, but replacing the macOS Dock with per-monitor docks and hover window previews needs native Swift/AppKit work and deep OS-level APIs. Vibe coding can get a rough prototype, but reliable behavior across macOS versions needs real platform expertise.
What it would actually take: This would be a native Swift/AppKit app using Accessibility permissions, the window server or ScreenCaptureKit for window thumbnails, and techniques for hiding and replacing the system Dock. The hard parts are stable window-preview capture, multi-monitor handling, and keeping up with breaking changes in each macOS release. It requires an experienced macOS developer and extensive testing.
