Could you build this?

Partial The menu-bar switch UI is easy to vibe-code in Swift. Controlling the logo LED depends on undocumented, model-specific hardware interfaces (such as SMC keys), which must be reverse-engineered and may break across updates.

What it would actually take: The app is a small macOS menu-bar utility, but it needs the correct low-level control path for the logo LED on that specific MacBook model. That means reverse-engineering SMC or IOKit keys with tools like hardware probes and private-API inspection. It requires macOS systems knowledge and testing on the specific hardware.
