Guided Walkthrough

See FluentOverlay in action

Instant accessStep 1

Stay in the current app

FluentOverlay appears over your focused Windows app, so the work stays in view while relevant shortcuts and commands open on top. Pro adds trigger control for users who want the overlay to open their way.

Keep the current app visible.
Open the overlay only when you need context.

Why FluentOverlay feels different

Stay focused

It opens where you are

FluentOverlay appears over the app in focus, so the tool you are using stays visible while the relevant commands open on top.

Find faster

It finds what you half-remember

Search by action, shortcut, or rough wording. Fuzzy matching and synonyms help you recover commands even when you only half-remember the name.

Add depth

It grows with your workflow

Start with shortcut recall. Add Pro execution, prompts, workflows, rules, authoring, and custom context when the overlay needs to do more.

161+

Built-in packs

Built-in packs keep FluentOverlay useful even when apps skip classic menus.

Free

Core access

The essential active-app shortcut overlay is available without an account or timed trial.

Pro

Deeper context

Execution, prompts, workflows, authoring, and layout control expand the same surface.

Recommended — automatic updates and a simple install flow

Direct installer link will appear here alongside the Store listing.

FluentOverlay stays local-first: shortcuts, settings, and knowledge content remain on your device, and optional network checks are limited to update or pack metadata when enabled.

Take a quick look around the product

A few quieter screenshots for people who want to inspect the interface after the main demo and core proof sections.

Shortcut overview

Every shortcut for the active app, organized in a responsive column layout.

Fuzzy search

Search narrows shortcuts instantly by name, keys, or path.

Prompts

Reusable AI prompt templates with variables, organized like your shortcuts.

Per-app tab rules

Different hosts can get different default tabs — ideal when editors need the full strip and Explorer stays minimal (Pro).

Category fit

Why FluentOverlay belongs in a different category

Most alternatives solve a neighboring job: launch commands, browse references, or display static shortcut help. FluentOverlay is narrower by design: it helps you understand and act inside the app already in focus.

Not another launcher

Raycast-style tools are great when you want to jump somewhere else or run extensions. FluentOverlay is about understanding the app you are already using without breaking flow.

Not just a reference library

Shortcut sites and study tools help you learn commands over time, but they still pull you into browsing. FluentOverlay aims to answer the question in place, inside the moment of work.

Windows-first overlay behavior

The product promise depends on Windows desktop context, live menu access when available, and a lightweight invoke-dismiss loop designed for active app recall.

What's shipped and what's next

A short product status summary for people who want extra confidence before installing.

Roadmap detail should support confidence, not interrupt the install decision. The short summary below is the intended skim path.

Available now

These Free and Pro capabilities are part of the current Windows app.

Free includes live menu reading, fuzzy and synonym search, keyboard highlighting, 161+ bundled shortcut packs, shortcut JSON pack loading, themes, tray mode, focused-display placement, six UI locales, and a 3-app per-app cache.
Pro includes click-to-execute, favourites, custom shortcuts, Pack Editor, PDF/Markdown export, advanced triggers, saved views, presentation modes, tab management, layout controls, custom accent, fixed content height, and unlimited cache.
Pro also includes ready-made Community Marketplace app bundles and MCP setup for connecting FluentOverlay context to external AI tools; broader MCP actions are not part of today's app.

Being prepared

These items make the shipped app easier to update, support, and distribute. They are not extra paid features.

A clearer in-app update path is being prepared so future releases are easier to notice and install.
Help, bug-report, and review routes are being connected to public support and review destinations.
Store, MSI, and managed feed channels will only be named once they are ready; today's public install path remains the direct download route.

Future ideas

These ideas are not part of the current offline-first app.

Pro+ AI features such as natural-language search, workflow or pack generation, and a contextual assistant are exploratory.
Browser and web-app awareness plus broader MCP actions need reliable focus signals and clear privacy tradeoffs.
Passive learning, global hotkeys, team or admin sharing, voice, mobile, and deeper automation remain future work.

Start with Free to prove the fit, keep the docs close if you want setup detail, and upgrade later only if you want execution plus richer workflow tabs in the same overlay.

Free proves the core value

Shortcut recall, live menu reading, and bundled pack coverage are already useful before any upgrade decision.

Local-first by default

Shortcuts, settings, and knowledge content stay on your device, with optional network checks limited to update or pack metadata when enabled.

Built for current Windows setups

Current public builds target Windows 10 (19041+) and Windows 11 on x64, with Store and direct MSI paths surfaced when available.
