Could you build this?

Yes The product aggregates existing package-manager CLIs (Homebrew, npm, pip, and others) into one native macOS UI with parallel scanning and updates. Wrapping shell commands and building a SwiftUI app is well within vibe-coding scope, with signing and notarization as the main extra work.
