Could you build this?
Partial The settings UI and volume control via CoreAudio are standard, but reading raw trackpad gestures depends on private macOS multitouch frameworks that are hard to use reliably.
What it would actually take: The app would be a Swift menu-bar agent that reads multitouch data through the private MultitouchSupport framework and maps gestures to CoreAudio volume and mute calls. Making it work reliably across macOS versions and hardware, and getting it signed and notarized, requires macOS systems knowledge and ongoing maintenance as Apple changes private APIs.
