Could you build this?
Partial The notch-based UI and window switching are vibe-codeable in SwiftUI, but reliable window and app control on macOS relies on Accessibility APIs and native system-level behavior that requires macOS expertise.
What it would actually take: Build a native Swift/SwiftUI macOS app that uses the Accessibility API and CGWindow APIs to enumerate and focus windows, with a custom overlay window positioned around the notch area. The hard parts are the undocumented or fragile window-management behavior across macOS versions, permissions handling, and polished animation. Native macOS engineering experience is needed.
