Could you build this?

Partial A basic screen recorder is buildable, but polished low-latency capture, hardware-accelerated 4K60 export, and on-device captioning need native macOS media expertise.

What it would actually take: A real version would be a native Swift app built on ScreenCaptureKit, AVFoundation, and VideoToolbox for hardware encoding, with Core ML or Apple Speech for on-device captions. The hard parts are smooth cursor-tracking zoom, real-time compositing, and performance tuning for long, high-resolution recordings. This requires macOS graphics and media engineering experience.
