Product managers and engineers

How to remember why we made a product decision discussed in an old meeting

Overshow captures your meetings and screen, indexes your documents, and lets you ask why a decision was made — returning a grounded answer with the source quote and a deep-link to the discussion.

How it helps

What product and engineering teams use Overshow for

Find all the places you talked about this feature across docs, tickets and calls

Overshow indexes the text on your screen, the speech in your meetings and your local documents, then fuses them into one ranked result for a single feature name.

A tool to search your own meeting transcripts and notes for a specific requirement

Search for the exact wording of a requirement, an acceptance criterion described aloud, or a constraint a stakeholder mentioned once — and get a citation that links straight to that segment of the transcript.

Avoid re-deciding the same thing because you cannot find the original discussion

When you can reliably pull up the discussion where a decision was made — with the reasoning quoted and linked — you stop reopening closed questions and move forward.

Personal work memory that tracks what you have seen across Slack, docs and meetings

Overshow acts as a personal, searchable memory of your working day, and can produce a daily summary of what you captured so nothing important slips past.

Try it on your own laptop first

The beta runs on a single macOS machine (macOS 26 Tahoe, Apple Silicon). Install, grant screen recording, sign in, and the search index starts filling on day one.

In detail

How Overshow fits this role

For product managers and engineers

Every product owes its shape to a long trail of decisions — and many are made verbally, in a call, and never written down cleanly. Months later, someone asks why the team chose one approach over another, and the honest answer is often a shrug. The reasoning existed; it was just never recoverable.

Overshow gives that reasoning back. It runs on your machine, captures your meetings and your screen, indexes your documents, and lets you ask why a decision was made — returning a grounded answer with the source quote and a deep-link to the discussion where it happened: the trade-offs raised, the constraint that settled it, the person who pushed for it. Decisions and action items are also stored as first-class commitments, so the outcome is recorded, not just the conversation.

This is your personal trail through scattered context, not a shared backlog. It reflects what you specifically saw and said. Because capture, indexing and search run locally and your data sits in an encrypted store, your unreleased plans, internal discussions and source material stay on your own machine.

What you get

  • Recover the reasoning behind past decisions, with the discussion quoted and linked — not just the outcome.
  • Trace a feature across everything you saw and said, including your own documents and code.
  • Search your transcripts and notes for a specific requirement, and jump straight to where it was discussed.
  • Stop re-deciding settled questions, and get warned when the story changes between meetings.
  • Keep your personal work memory local and encrypted.

Overshow will not run your roadmap for you. It makes your own context dependable, so you spend less effort reconstructing the past and more building the next thing.
