Could you build this?
Partial The Live Activity, widget, and menu bar UI are vibe-codeable, but accurate Mac power measurement needs low-level macOS hardware-sensor knowledge that is harder to get right without specialist input.
What it would actually take: The app would be a native Swift app using ActivityKit, WidgetKit, and a Mac menu bar extra, with IOKit or SMC sensor reads for real wattage. The hard part is finding and validating the correct sensor keys across Apple Silicon and Intel models, which can change between hardware generations. This needs macOS systems engineering experience and testing on many devices.
