Claude Overlay: A Floating Claude Code Chat That Sees Your Screen
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 it 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. Open source (MIT), Windows-only for now.

Hi PH! I built this because I was constantly alt-tabbing and pasting screenshots to ask Claude Code about an error or a design on my screen. Now I just hit Ctrl+Alt+Space and ask - it screenshots each monitor and Claude reads them in context. It uses your existing claude CLI login (no API key), and it's the real agent so it can actually fix things. Windows-only for now; cross-platform help very welcome. Feedback appreciated!

finally something that lets claude see my actual screen instead of me copy-pasting everything. the always-on-top window is genuinely handy when you're jumping between docs and code.
