Claude Overlay
A floating Claude Code chat that sees your screen
What this is
A floating always-on-top Windows window that runs Claude Code with screen awareness, so developers can ask about what's on screen and have it edit files or run commands.
Our one-line summary — not the founder’s tagline.
- How it works
- A frameless, always-on-top Windows chat window for Claude Code, summoned by hotkey, that captures and reads your monitors before answering, then can edit files and run commands using your own Claude Code subscription.
- What's different
- Runs the full Claude Code agent on your existing subscription rather than requiring a separate API key, and has screen awareness rather than just chat.
- Pricing
- Open source (MIT).
- Best for
- Developers on Windows who want a floating Claude Code assistant that can see their screen while they work.

League price & chart
No money. No seat. It goes on your record — and in 28 days reality settles it.

AI. Launched 12d ago on Product Hunt, picking up 148 votes. Today, the site itself changed 6d ago — evidence it's still shipping, not just announcing.
Quiet for 5 days — no penalty yet, but quiet doesn't stay free.
We check this site every day, ourselves. A founder can post “still working on it” — a claim like that doesn't price. What we price is what we can verify from the outside: evidence, not announcements. The real question isn't “will this be huge?” — it's “will they still be moving in four weeks?”
The market viewHow this launch is priced and ranked in our league — the investor side of the page.
ranked by the reality anchor, not the market price
It launched on Product Hunt with 148 votes.
No matter how much money goes in. There is no pump here — you can't make yourself right by buying more. The line only moves on things that actually happened: an award, revenue that grew, a new platform, code that shipped — or silence.
2 quiet days in between are left out — nothing happened on them. A launch that goes quiet eases down a little at a time — never a cliff you could have run from the night before.
Daily tracking just started for this launch — the first point is on the board. A second reading lands with tomorrow's run, and the curve builds from there.
How the launch is moving on its own board, day by day — the crowd's attention.
A flat line is normal: votes stop within a day or two of launch, on every board. What's unusual — and what actually counts — is a launch that keeps pulling votes long after its day is over.
About
Claude Overlay is a frameless, always-on-top chat window for Claude Code that floats over everything you do. Summon it with a hotkey, ask about whatever's on screen, and Claude captures and reads your monitors before answering. It runs the full Claude Code agent on your own subscription - no API key - so it can edit files and run commands, not just chat. Open source (MIT), Windows.

The board it did best on sets the price. Every other board only adds to it if the launch also placed high on that board too — because just showing up somewhere isn't an achievement. Listing on twelve directories is free; placing well on them isn't.
