Could you build this?
Partial Hiding files and apps with NTFS ACLs, Windows Hello, and Bluetooth proximity locking are achievable with Windows APIs. The 'military-grade' security claim, though, needs real security engineering and independent auditing, which vibe coding does not reliably deliver.
What it would actually take: The stack would be a Windows desktop app in C# or C++ using the Win32 security APIs, NTFS ACL manipulation, the Windows Hello (WebAuthn/Credential) APIs, and BLE for proximity detection. The hard part is making the access control robust against bypass (safe mode, other user accounts, process injection, and file system tricks) and proving it through penetration testing and cryptographic review. That requires a security engineer, careful threat modeling, and ideally a third-party audit before the 'military-grade' label is justified.
