"Overlay has completely changed how I work. No more Cmd+Tab fatigue. Having my docs float right next to my code is a game changer."
Sarah Jensen
Senior Frontend Dev @ Vercel
"The resource usage is negligible. I was skeptical about another Electron app, but the Rust backend really delivers. It feels native."
Mike Chen
Systems Engineer @ Uber
"I use it for responsive design testing. The mobile simulation view is faster than opening DevTools in Chrome every single time."
Elena Rodriguez
UX Designer @ Airbnb
"The shortcuts are incredibly well thought out. I can pop open Jira, update a ticket, and be back in VS Code in literally 3 seconds."
David Kim
Product Manager @ Linear
"It's like the missing piece of macOS. It fits so well with the system aesthetic that it feels like Apple built it themselves."
Alex Morgan
Freelance Developer
"Finally, a browser that doesn't eat all my RAM. I keep my music and chat apps in Overlay and my main work in Chrome. Perfect balance."
