Could you build this?

Partial The menu bar UI and scenes are vibe-codeable, but per-app audio control and external monitor brightness/XDR control depend on low-level macOS APIs and undocumented behavior.

What it would actually take: A real version needs Core Audio process taps for per-app volume and DDC/CI communication for monitor brightness and resolution, plus private or undocumented display APIs for XDR boost. The hard parts are reliable, OS-version-resilient low-level integration and notarized distribution, which requires an experienced macOS systems developer.
