Claude Overlay

Claude Overlay
### Talk to Claude Code without ever leaving the app you're in — and let it actually *see* your screen.

Windows 10 / 11 only (for now) · runs on your existing Claude subscription — no API key

Claude Overlay is a frameless, always-on-top chat window that floats over
everything you do. Ask a question, and Claude looks at your real
screen — every monitor — to answer. No copy-pasting error messages, no
describing what you're staring at, no alt-tabbing to a browser. And because it
runs the full Claude Code agent
under the hood, it doesn't just chat — it can read, edit, and run things for you,
right where you work. Point it at the slide deck, document, or spreadsheet you have
open and it can change the file you're looking at — you never have to tell it
where the file lives or even alt-tab away.

Best of all, it costs nothing extra: it drives your own claude CLI login,
so it uses your existing Claude subscription — no API key, no metered billing.
⭐ If a screen-aware Claude that floats over your work sounds useful, star the repo — it helps other people find it.

✨ Why you'll want it

- 🔀 New in 1.25 — Codex mode. One click on the titlebar's Claude | Codex switch
  puts OpenAI's Codex behind the same window, on your own codex login, with Codex's own
  models, look and allowance — same screen-aware overlay, your pick of agent.
- 👁️ It sees what you see. Auto-captures each monitor on every message and
  labels primary vs. secondary — just ask *"what's wrong here?"* and it looks.
- 🪟 Never breaks your flow. Always-on-top and frameless; it collapses to a
  tiny draggable orb when you're not using it (with a real Windows taskbar
  button to click it back), and drops a ✓ on the orb…
