Quickstart

Overview

This guide gets Overshow ready for your next meeting. Capture stays paused until you finish first-run setup.

1. Create your account and download Overshow

Create or open your account at app.over.show, then download the signed macOS build for Apple silicon.

2. Install the app

Open the disk image, drag Overshow into Applications, then launch it from Applications or Spotlight. Eject the volume after installation.

3. Connect your account

If the download flow has not already connected the app, choose Sign in. Overshow opens your browser for authentication and returns to the desktop app. The paste-code fallback is available if the automatic return is blocked.

4. Grant local access

Allow Microphone, Screen Recording, and Accessibility from the setup screen. Overshow explains each grant and shows the next recovery action if macOS needs System Settings or a restart.

When all three are ready, choose Continue. Review the preselected capture allow-list, using search and either clicking or dragging apps between Not captured and Captured, then continue to the optional AI tools step. Connect a detected MCP client for read-only memory search or choose Set up later. Finish and start capturing saves the allow-list, opens Meetings, and waits until a meeting begins.

5. Review your first meeting

After the meeting, open Meetings to review the transcript, summary, decisions, and actions. Use Ask when you want an answer grounded in captured work.

Calendar connection is optional. Add Microsoft 365 from Meetings → Setup if you want scheduled meeting metadata. Google Calendar controls remain hidden from general users while Google OAuth verification is in progress.
