Overplay

Video overlay for game footage

Float a reference video over anything on your Mac — a game, an editor, a design — so you can compare them directly. Fade it until you can see through it, keep it on top, and let clicks pass straight through to the app underneath.

For Mac · macOS 14 Sonoma or later · Apple silicon and Intel
