Could you build this?
Partial The Swift and CoreBluetooth app is codeable, but a usable trackpad needs low-latency BLE input and macOS event injection tuned on real hardware. Those tuning and permissions issues are where vibe coding tends to stall.
What it would actually take: The Mac side can use CoreBluetooth to receive HID-like reports and CGEvent to move the cursor, while the iPhone sends touch deltas over a BLE characteristic. The hard parts are keeping latency low and smooth, handling reconnection, and navigating macOS accessibility permissions. A builder needs someone comfortable with BLE characteristics, input-event pipelines, and hands-on device testing to get the feel right.
