Description
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 Claude 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, not just chat. Open source (MIT), Windows.
