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

Why did we choose polling over websockets?
The constraint was the proxy timeout on enterprise networks; Priya raised it and the room agreed polling with backoff.

What product and engineering teams use Overshow for.
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.
How Overshow fits this role.
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 trace what led to a decision. The answer includes the source quote and a deep-link to the discussion where it happened: the trade-offs raised, the constraint that settled it, and 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.
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.
