Could you build this?
Partial A menu-bar capture UI is buildable, but a native macOS app with screen recording and polished video editing requires platform-specific work vibe coding handles poorly.
What it would actually take: The stack would be a Swift/SwiftUI menu-bar app using ScreenCaptureKit for capture, AVFoundation or Core Video for encoding, and a timeline or effects engine for polish such as zooms, cursor effects and backgrounds. The hard parts are handling macOS permissions and capture performance, and building smooth real-time compositing. This needs native macOS graphics and media expertise plus extensive testing across OS versions.
