Can you vibecode this?

Yes

A native Swift menu bar app that reads local CLI session files and displays usage stats. The core loop — poll local data, parse it, render in the menu bar — ships. Apple notarization is a standard developer account step, not a gatekeeper.

  • Integrations & infrastructure

    Low
