Client requests, decisions and risks occur in calls and messages during the working day. They are not always written into a document. When a consultant leaves the engagement, the unwritten part leaves with the consultant.
Built by consultants, and used on our own engagements every day. macOS 26 or later, Apple silicon.
A client requests additional work in a call. The consultant agrees. The request is not written down, and the consultancy does not invoice for it.
A new consultant reads previous documents and asks the client to repeat information from earlier discussions. The consultancy pays for that time.
A client and the consultancy disagree about what was agreed. Without a dated source record, the consultancy has less supporting evidence.
Overshow sits in the menu bar. Meetings are recorded only while a meeting is happening, and the working window is read at natural moments (a window change, a click, a pause in typing), never as a video. Password managers, private browsing, and excluded apps are never captured.
Calls, documents, and screen work land on the engagement they belong to. Calendar series, repository and ticket links, and app rules do the placing; anything uncertain waits in an unclassified inbox for the consultant. Nothing is guessed into a client record.
Overshow drafts the day's record on the consultant's Mac: completed work, commitments, decisions, risks, scope changes, and next actions, each with its date, time, and source excerpt.
The consultant corrects, excludes, or deletes items, then approves the record. Approval freezes the record; publication is a separate action. When it is published, the consultancy receives only the approved record. Drafts never leave the Mac.
Overshow works locally with the native apps you choose to include. Nothing to connect, nothing to configure
Overshow drafts the record on the consultant's computer at the end of each day. The consultant reviews each item, and can correct it, exclude it from the record, or delete it. The record can include:
When it is published, the consultancy receives only the approved record. Each approved item includes its date, time and source excerpt.
You were there for all of it. Now it's findable.
Half your context is never written down. It just crosses your screen. Overshow reads the useful parts of your working window as text, so the spreadsheet figure, the vendor clause, and the message thread are one search away. Nothing visual is kept.
Every answer links back to the moment it came from.
Every AI session starts blank: your architecture, your decisions, your customers, retyped again. Connect approved clients to Overshow and they can search your work memory: read-only, scoped to what you allow, with every connection listed and revocable. Works with Claude Desktop, Claude Code, Cursor, and local models such as LM Studio.
Read-only, scoped to what you allow, and revocable.
A memory of your work is sensitive by definition. So the protection is architecture, not promises:
One local database, encrypted with keys held in your Mac's keychain. It is not automatically replicated; only an approved record and source excerpts you choose to publish enter the organisation repository.
Your working window is read as text; a screenshot is used only when text cannot be read directly, then discarded. Meetings are kept as transcripts, not audio archives.
Transcription, search, and answers run on Apple silicon. Your work never reaches a cloud model unless you connect one yourself.
You choose which apps are captured. Password managers, private browsing, and remote desktops are always off the record.
Capture status is always visible, pause controls stay in the app and menu bar, and every AI client you approve is listed with its scope and an audit trail.
Inspect everything the app holds, export meetings as markdown, delete anything, or everything. Your memory lives on your Mac, so it outlives any subscription.

Overshow marks a client request as a scope change. The day's record lists the changes, each one with its date, time and source excerpt.
The record belongs to the engagement, not to the consultant. The approved records are held in date order, from the first day of the engagement.
A decision in the record carries the reason recorded with it. The source excerpt stays with the item after the source data is deleted.
The approved records accumulate for each engagement. The consultancy holds a dated account of the delivered work, separate from what was invoiced.
Management does not receive a live feed of the consultant's day. It receives only the daily record the consultant has reviewed and chosen to publish.
See what the approved record feedsRun it for 30 days, then look at: captured scope changes, reporting time, and handover readiness.
No. Meeting audio is recorded only while a meeting is on. The window you are working in is read as text at natural moments (a window change, a click, a typing pause); most reads take no picture at all, and when one is needed it is discarded straight after. You choose which apps are included, and can pause all capture from the app or menu-bar controls.
No. There is no bot and nothing visible to anyone else. Overshow listens locally on your Mac. Consent stays in your hands: no audio is recorded outside meetings, and nothing is shared unless you share it.
Your durable searchable memory lives in one encrypted database on your Mac. During a meeting or interrupted recovery, bounded encrypted audio-recovery files can also exist outside it until terminal processing or replay. Transcription, search, and answers run on-device. Sign-in, billing, and updates use our servers; captured content stays on your Mac by default. Content leaves only when you export or mirror files to a folder you choose (which may be cloud-synced), attach diagnostics to feedback, enable URL enrichment for an allowed site, or approve a cloud client that sends queries and returned snippets to its provider. A separate Publish action sends only the approved record and its approved source excerpts to the organisation repository; it does not copy the local capture index.
Read-only search over your memory, through three narrow tools, only for clients you have approved. You can see, scope, and revoke every connection.
Your memory and the app stay on your Mac. Everything you captured is kept, not deleted. For existing Free entitlements, the historical recall window limits how far back you can search; it never removes anything. Capture, transcription, search, and Ask all run on-device, so the app on your machine does not stop working when a server does.
