Could you build this?
Partial The UI and LAN discovery are approachable, but reliable two-way sync with conflict handling across macOS and Windows file-system quirks is a hard systems problem that vibe coding alone will not get right.
What it would actually take: The stack would be a native or cross-platform daemon using FSEvents on macOS and ReadDirectoryChangesW on Windows, with a local state database to track file versions and detect changes. Peer discovery would use mDNS, transfers would use encrypted chunked streaming, and deletions would go to a trash folder. The hard part is correctness under concurrent edits, renames and partial failures, which needs experience with sync engines like Syncthing or Unison.
