On-device capture
Screens, audio, and notes stay on your laptop.
Overshow records your screens and meetings on-device and makes every word instantly searchable, so you find the answer or decision before you have to go looking.
All features for free. No Credit Card Required. Go Pro for unlimited history. macOS and (soon) Windows.
Screens, audio, and notes stay on your laptop.
One switch stops every display and microphone, instantly.
Full-text and semantic search, running locally.
Context
Overshow captures your active windows, audio, and notes continuously. When you come back to ask about something, there is a record to read from.
Recall
Type what you half-remember. Overshow searches every OCR'd frame, transcript, and snippet you've captured - locally.
Searched locally. Nothing left your device.
Try one of the examples below, or type your own.
Meetings
Overshow watches meeting audio, captions, and the screen for questions as they come up, then surfaces the answer from your own history before you need to go looking for it.
“Cap retries at 120 seconds on 5xx and open a ticket if we see more drops.”
Pulled from your own transcript, local source
On your next call
Install locally, keep recordings on your device, and use every feature on the Free plan from day one.
Before every meeting
Overshow watches your calendar and, five minutes before the next meeting, assembles a brief from your own history: prior conversations with the same people, the questions still hanging, and the topics you were already working on.

Control
Pause capture the moment something private comes up. Add apps to your ignore list so they never get recorded in the first place.
Changes to the ignore list take effect after you restart Overshow.
Recap
Trigger a recap of what your day actually contained. It runs on-device and lists the decisions, blockers, and follow-ups it found - nothing more.
Example recap - your own is built from your captures
Memory
Every capture and every snippet you write adds to a searchable record. Free keeps the last 7 days on hand; Pro keeps everything, so nothing is lost to the end of the sprint, the end of the week, or a tab you closed.

Your own notes on how the decline-rate fix landed. Reused in the board update.
Boundary
Overshow is local by default. Team sharing and external integrations only happen when you explicitly turn them on.
Integrations are off by default.
Local capture
Screen frames, audio transcripts, and OCR text stored on your device, encrypted at rest.
Curated memory
Daily recaps you run and snippets you write yourself. Searchable on-device.
Optional integrations
Explicitly turned on, per integration. Nothing flows out until you approve it.
Security
Three lanes cover how we treat your data: at rest, in use, and in transit. The first two stay on your laptop. The third is only active when you switch it on.
On your laptop, encrypted
ChaCha20-Poly1305 encryption
Sensitive text and captured video are encrypted on disk, not just wrapped by the OS.
No cloud replica
We don't mirror your captures to a server. If the laptop is gone, so is the data.
Processed locally
On-device OCR and transcription
WhisperKit and the OCR pipeline run on your machine. No frames or audio leave for processing.
Local embeddings and search
Semantic search uses local vectors. Queries never hit an external model.
Only when you opt in
Authentication and billing only
The only traffic by default is sign-in and subscription. Capture data is never in that path.
Explicit integration approval
Each integration is off until you turn it on and authorise it. Revoke any time from settings.
Roles
Pick the role closest to yours to see the specific workflows, controls, and outcomes we design for.
Find the error message, the command, the PR discussion, or the config change you saw last week.
Search last month's interviews, the usability video you half-remember, and the design review comments.
Ask the meeting brief before the call and the daily summary after it.
Pricing
Free and Pro ship the same features; the only difference is how far back you can search. Enterprise adds the controls organisations need.
FAQ
Screens (every monitor you record), microphone and system audio if you enable it, and local documents in folders you point it at. OCR reads text off every captured frame. Transcription runs in fixed 20-30 second windows with a short overlap tail.
In a local SQLite database on your laptop, with FTS5 for full-text search and EmbeddingGemma 300M vectors for semantic search. Video files are encrypted in 64 KB chunks. Sensitive text fields use ChaCha20-Poly1305 with Argon2-derived keys. Nothing captured is sent to a shared cloud database. The security page has the full control list.
By default, no captured content leaves. What does sit in the cloud: account and billing data, and device registration metadata. That is it. Optional MCP integrations and manual exports only move data when you explicitly enable them. See local vs cloud for the side-by-side.
