I don't use it because I don't want anything I do in Apple's cloud

"Handoff" feature provides.

I don't see how this can be done without communication among the apps.
I'm not sure why you would want to implement that communication in a
filesystem, rather than in the streaming service.  Among other things,
I think it would be more robust to use a position index other than
bytes (eg, MPEG stream + frame).
