Could you build this?

No Writing to NTFS volumes requires a low-level filesystem driver implemented as an FSKit extension, which demands systems-programming and filesystem expertise that vibe coding cannot reliably provide.

What it would actually take: The core is an FSKit filesystem extension in Swift or C that wraps an NTFS implementation, such as a port of ntfs-3g/libntfs-3g, handling journaling, security descriptors, and allocation correctly to avoid corrupting drives. Add a file manager UI and an iPhone photo import path over MobileDevice/ImageCaptureCore. The hard part is safe, correct NTFS write support, which requires filesystem engineering expertise and extensive testing against real volumes.
