Could you build this?

Partial The UI and file-scanning parts are vibe-codeable, but a trustworthy uninstaller depends on macOS-specific knowledge of leftover file locations, safe-deletion rules, and a reliable undo mechanism. GPUI is also a niche framework with little training data.

What it would actually take: Build a Rust app with GPUI for the interface, plus a scanner that maps installed apps to leftovers (Library caches, preferences, launch agents, containers). The hard parts are a conservative, well-tested leftover-detection heuristic and a transactional undo layer that stages deletions in a trash-like store. Doing this well requires macOS internals experience, careful testing across system versions, and code signing and notarization.
