Could you build this?

Partial A folder-based photo browser and collage tool is buildable, but a fast native macOS photo manager with non-destructive editing, RAW support, and on-device face and place recognition needs serious native and ML work.

What it would actually take: The app would be a native Swift/AppKit application using Core Image or Metal for non-destructive edit stacks, ImageIO/RAW decoding, and an SQLite-backed library index for fast browsing of large folders. Faces and places would use Apple Vision and Core ML for face detection and embeddings, plus EXIF GPS for places. The hard parts are performance on large libraries, RAW pipeline correctness, and face clustering quality, which need an experienced macOS and computer-vision developer.
