Hi ProductHunt 👋 It’s been quite a journey for Overlayed and I'm excited to be back for the second launch. Huge thanks to the community and all the OSS contributors! ❓ So what is Overlayed? Overlayed allows you to see who is currently in the voice channel you’re participating in. It shows you your voice status such as speaking, deafened, and, muted, but also other participants as well. 🤔 Why did you build Overlayed? I get this question at least once a week, “why don’t you use the built-in Discord overlay?”. Here is the short reason, the Discord Game Overlay only supports Windows and a handful of games. That means for someone who is chronically online, using macOS daily, and primarily working in a text editor, the Discord Game Overlay wouldn’t work for me. 🤓 How does Overlayed work? The app connects to your locally running Discord client and Overlayed gets forwarded events. Technically, it uses the Discord RPC API which has a whole bunch of different events you can listen for. 🚀 Features ⋅User List - See who is speaking, muted, and deafened in the current voice channel ⋅Pinnable - Always stays on top so you can continue working or gaming ⋅Transparent - Transparent window that can ignore mouse clicks ⋅Join History - See who enters and leaves a channel Feel free to check it out and if you have questions, comments, or concerns please do share.

Overlayed’s always-on-top feature is perfect for keeping an eye on voice activity while working on other tasks.
