Shoverlay, a Mac Capture Desk That Stays on the Menu Bar
Shoverlay combines screenshots, scrolling capture, screen recording, annotation, OCR, and pinned overlays in a Mac menu-bar app.
Field notes
Shoverlay is organized around a menu-bar workflow rather than a large capture studio: a compact HUD selects the capture mode, then Quick Access routes the result to saving, copying, annotation, pinning, or OCR. The page lists area, window, scrolling, fullscreen, timer, OCR, and recording options, with exports in PNG, JPEG, TIFF, and WebP. Recording also supports system audio, microphone input, webcam overlays, clicks, and keystrokes. Kingfont identifies Shoverlay as its first public product.
