Could you build this?

Partial The native Mac and iOS tracker with iCloud sync and reminders is codeable. The premium features rely on Metacritic, HowLongToBeat, and price-comparison data that have no free public APIs and need licensing or scraping.

What it would actually take: Build the core as a SwiftUI app with CloudKit or iCloud sync, local notifications, and widgets. The premium data layer is the hard part: it needs licensed or legally sourced review scores, playtime data, and a price feed from a retailer aggregator, plus ongoing maintenance when sources change.
