Your OBS overlays, your server. No watermarks, no subscription, no desync.
Freelancers expense a dozen subscriptions — proposals, contracts, invoices, time tracking — against irregular income. Owning the tools outright removes a whole line of fixed costs.
The tool this job usually means renting is StreamElements, at $19/mo (Streamlabs Ultra) — roughly $149 a year, every year. Overlayr does the job for a one-time $69 — running on infrastructure you control.
Target datetime or duration mode, pause/resume/reset from the dashboard, custom end message, optional end sound.
For freelancers, countdown timer pays off between gigs, against irregular income — and it's covered by the same one-time $69, not metered per month.
Animated fill, +1/+5/+10 dashboard buttons, milestone flash on target — also settable via webhook.
For freelancers, goal bar pays off between gigs, against irregular income — and it's covered by the same one-time $69, not metered per month.
A list of messages with fade/slide transitions or a scrolling marquee mode.
For freelancers, rotating ticker pays off between gigs, against irregular income — and it's covered by the same one-time $69, not metered per month.
One-time $69 for the packaged Windows desktop app plus a guided VPS deploy — lifetime updates included.
Pick a type and theme in the dashboard, tweak it in the live editor, copy the tokenized OBS URL with its recommended Browser Source size.
Edits push to the overlay instantly over WebSocket — no refreshing Browser Sources mid-stream. Run the Live Control panel for big one-tap buttons during the session.

Overlayr costs $69 once; StreamElements charges $19/mo (Streamlabs Ultra) — about $149 a year. For freelancers, that fixed cost is the whole point: the tool is a one-time line item, not a monthly one.
Yes — the full source is MIT at github.com/bensblueprints/overlayr-mvp. The $69 buys the packaged installer, guided VPS deploy and lifetime updates instead of running npm and docker yourself.
The core is, and it's genuinely good — that's the honest answer. But the polished themes, extras and watermark removal live in paid tiers (Streamlabs Ultra is $19/mo, OWN3D Pro $12.99/mo), and your overlays live on their cloud either way. Overlayr is for streamers who want to own the whole stack and never see a "premium" upsell again.
