Who it's for
Overshow is built for knowledge workers who lose time jumping between tools and trying to recall what they already saw, heard, or typed.
By role
Find the error message, the command, the PR discussion, or the config change you saw last week.
Recall what a customer said, what you tried, and what the ticket looked like two weeks ago.
Search last month's interviews, the usability video you half-remember, and the design review comments.
Carry prior engagements with you without carrying the client's data off their laptop.
Ask the meeting brief before the call and the daily summary after it.
Review one encrypted database, one laptop, and a small set of controls before approving.
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.
Audience detail
Overshow is for people who spend the day switching between a browser, a terminal, a chat app, a video call, a note-taking tool, and a PDF or two, and then cannot remember which of those six windows held the answer they needed.
You already paste the same error into the same search box every few weeks. Overshow makes your own terminal output, browser tabs, and Slack threads searchable in one index, so the second time you see an error you find your own fix instead of a stranger's.
Customers repeat themselves across channels. Overshow captures calls, chats, and ticket windows, transcribes the audio on-device, and identifies the speaker. You can search "the customer who mentioned the missing invoice last Tuesday" and get back the moment, not a summary.
Interviews, design reviews, and usability sessions pile up fast. Overshow keeps them searchable without a research repository tool. Ask for the clip where someone used the word "confusing", and get it.
You work across client contexts. Overshow keeps everything local in a SQLCipher-encrypted SQLite database, and lets you exclude any window by name. Nothing is sent to a cloud by default.
Five minutes before your next call Overshow assembles a brief from your own history: prior conversations with those people, outstanding questions, and the topic you were last working on with them. At the end of the day it writes the summary you would otherwise skip.
The security review is concrete: one SQLite database on disk, encryption keys in the platform keychain, SSO via OIDC with Google or Microsoft Entra ID, one active device per user, and no telemetry. Captured screens, audio, and transcripts never leave the machine unless the user opts in through MCP or an export.
