Could you build this?

Partial The settings UI, rules, and node management are vibe-codeable on top of the open-source mihomo core. Reliable TUN-mode system networking, privileged helper installation, and Apple signing and notarization are the hard parts.

What it would actually take: Build a native macOS app (SwiftUI or AppKit) that embeds or bundles the mihomo binary and drives it through its REST API. TUN mode needs a privileged helper or Network Extension, which requires macOS networking expertise and an Apple Developer ID for signing and notarization. Node-exit geolocation and per-app connection views also need careful engineering, but none of this requires new research.
