Claude Overlay

Claude Overlay is a Windows utility that places a screen-aware Claude Code assistant in a frameless, always-on-top chat window. It captures the active window or every monitor when a message is sent, letting Claude answer questions about visible documents, errors, dashboards, and applications. Because it runs the installed Claude Code CLI through the Agent SDK, it can also read files, execute commands, and edit open work when permissions allow. The interface streams responses, shows tool activity and context use, accepts pasted images, and provides an in-place model switcher. Conversations can resume after restarts or temporary CLI disconnections. Multiple named overlays can run at once and collapse into labeled draggable orbs. It uses the user’s existing Claude subscription rather than a separate API key.
