Could you build this?
Partial Archive creation and extraction are solved by existing libraries, but a polished native macOS app with a Terminal CLI, local MCP tools, licensing, and notarization requires native Apple development expertise that vibe coding handles poorly.
What it would actually take: Write a native Swift/SwiftUI app that wraps libarchive or similar libraries, with Quick Look preview, a bundled CLI, and an MCP server. Add license verification and Apple Developer code signing and notarization. The hard parts are macOS-specific integration, sandboxing, and Apple distribution requirements, which benefit from someone who has shipped a Mac app before.
