Could you build this?
Partial The Finder extension and radial menu are standard Swift work, but 525 offline tools covering conversion, redaction, OCR, and trimming is a massive breadth of real file-format engineering that a solo vibe-coder would struggle to finish.
What it would actually take: Build a Swift Finder Sync or Action extension with a radial UI that routes files by type to tool modules. Each tool wraps a native or open-source engine such as ffmpeg, Ghostscript, PDFKit, Vision OCR, or ImageMagick, with bundled binaries and codecs. The hard part is making hundreds of tools correct and well-tested across file formats, which takes sustained effort and format-specific expertise.
