That is not a weekend's work, with an AI app builder or without one. It costs $19.99, paid once. - You could not: Keys and buttons remapped below the level of apps. - You could not: A native app living in the menu bar. - You could not: A real app for macOS. Something home-made would be a web page. - You could not: The depth: we grade its features B, which means it covers the whole job.
