Could you build this?

Partial The launcher UI and app-launching logic are straightforward, but reliable global trackpad pinch and triple-right-click gesture detection on both Windows and macOS requires native OS input hooks that vibe coding may struggle to get right.

What it would actually take: Build a native or cross-platform desktop shell (Tauri, Electron, or Swift plus C#) with a background process that listens for global mouse and trackpad events. The hard part is macOS multitouch gesture capture through private or restricted APIs and Windows low-level input hooks that do not conflict with other software. This needs developers comfortable with OS-level input, code signing, and notarization across both platforms.
