A Windows helper that reads your screen, highlights the exact control you need, and moves to the next step as you work.

Landing page captured for the 2026-09-09 issue.

Field notes

Overshoulder combines an ordinary-language request with screen-state analysis: it identifies a control in the active application, places a ring over it, and reassesses after the user clicks or the interface changes. Its Windows implementation uses WDA_EXCLUDEFROMCAPTURE, so the overlay is intended to remain visible locally while being omitted from supported capture APIs. The page sets a five-task monthly free tier, lists Windows build 19041+ and Windows 11 support, and labels macOS as unverified work in progress.
