Tray and dock
Menu bar tray actions and the window toggle in Overshow.
Last updated: 2 April 2026
System tray (menu bar)
Overshow lives in the macOS menu bar. From the tray menu you can typically reach:
- Search. open or focus the main window on Search.
- Quick Ask. open the overlay without bringing the full app forward.
- Settings. jump straight to configuration.
- Start capture / Stop capture. control recording without opening the window.
- Check for updates. query the update channel the app is configured to use.
- Version. see the running build for support and diagnostics.
- Quit. exit Overshow cleanly.
Left-click behaviour
Left-click the tray icon to toggle the main window. show if hidden, hide if visible. so you can peek Search and dismiss quickly.
Pause and error states are shown inside the app, not on the macOS Dock icon.
