4.0.3
Current office release with branded HTTPS update origin.
Recovered public website
Work in the flow, not under a pile of popups.
Ohverlay is a calm workspace layer for sticky notes, network file handoffs, supervisor dashboards, and future AI assistance. It is designed for visibility without clutter, urgency without panic, and coordination without surveillance theater.
2 roles
Separate Standard User and Supervisor builds.
Local-first
Logs, overlays, and traceability stay inspectable on the machine.
Ohverlay Runtime
Core surfaces
Built for operations, not vanity dashboards
The office build already moved beyond ambient visuals. It now combines reminder overlays, team dispatch, logs, and role-aware visibility in a single runtime.
Reminder overlays that stay readable
Multiple simultaneous notes, countdowns, elapsed timers, theme options, transparency control, and lock state for click-through behavior.
- Countdown and elapsed modes.
- Theme and opacity presets.
- Bottom-stack task visibility without hijacking the screen.
File routing with traceability
Send a file from a shared folder, notify selected peers, open the path from the receiver overlay, and preserve the sender/recipient/time record.
- Sender and receiver logs.
- Path-aware notifications.
- Future cleanup prompts for stale shared items.
Visibility with declared scope
The supervisor build is not a different brand skin. It is a different operational role with dashboard access, timeline review, and deadline visibility.
- Role-aware desktop builds.
- Separate user and supervisor distribution.
- Password-gated supervisor surfaces where configured.
Feature Inventory
What the office build already does today
This is the current product state, not concept art. These are the surfaces already present in the active Windows build.
Select a file or folder inside your shared location, choose peers, dispatch the handoff, and let the receiver open the routed path directly from the overlay.
Create multiple notes at once with countdown, elapsed time, transparency, theme, font scaling, lock state, and overdue escalation support.
Sent, received, opened, acknowledged, and sticky-note actions are recorded locally for review and export.
Standard User and Supervisor EXEs ship separately so the operational surfaces match the actual office role.
UI Gallery
Real interface images from the office build
These screenshots came from the actual deployment flow: setup, handoff dispatch, and console plus overlay notifications.
Configure the network path that other users can read from. Ohverlay normalizes Windows paths and can convert mapped drives to UNC where Windows exposes that mapping.
Pick the shared item, choose recipients, add a label and message, then dispatch the notification without leaving the active workspace.
Receivers get a glowing overlay, and the activity console records sent, opened, and acknowledgment events for later review.
Fast operating flow
01
Install the right build
Use the Standard User EXE for staff or the Supervisor EXE for coordinators and oversight roles.
02
Configure folder, name, and peers
Open Control Center, set your shared folder, your username, and the peers you want to notify.
03
Send or receive
Create file handoffs, sticky notes, or timed reminders. Receivers can open directly from the overlay.
The selected item must stay inside the configured shared folder
That rule is enforced intentionally so a notification cannot point outside the sender’s declared shared area. If a handoff fails validation, the selected file or folder is usually outside the configured base path.
- UNC paths are safest for multi-user consistency.
- Mapped drives can still work if all relevant PCs resolve them correctly.
- Ohverlay normalizes Windows paths before validating the handoff.
The missing whitepaper is back
The public site had temporarily become only the updater/download endpoint. The original whitepaper-style material still existed in the repo, so it is now linked back into the live website instead of being stranded in source docs.
Calm technology is a product rule, not a mood board
Ohverlay is explicitly designed around privacy-first, local-first, transparent, and non-spammy behavior. That matters more than visual style because it determines what the system is allowed to become.
