Overview

Overlay — a memory that actually evolves

Capture anything. It organizes itself. Reuse it everywhere.

Overlay turns your browser into a personal memory. Clip a page, drop a PDF, save a chat, or just highlight a few words — Overlay files it into one connected memory, draws out the throughlines, and brings the right context back into every conversation. One memory that works across Claude, Gemini, and GPT — on your browser, your phone, and the web.

✨ WHAT IT DOES

Capture anything
• Clip any page, drop a PDF or image, or save a chat — right from the side panel
• Highlight text on any page and capture it to your memory in one click
• Everything lands in one place — nothing lives in a silo

Read actively
• Turn any page or PDF into a reading session with its own living note
• Quote-to-note: send passages to your note, anchored to the exact spot in the source
• Sticky highlights on PDFs — they survive reloads, and downloads come with your highlights baked in

Organizes itself
• Overlay sorts and connects what you capture, linking related ideas automatically
• Your knowledge becomes a map — an atlas of territories where related subjects sit side by side
• No folders to maintain, no tagging chores — your memory structures itself

Synthesizes & evolves — and shows its work
• Throughlines, recurring questions, and contradictions surface on their own
• "What changed" shows what your memory learned: new beliefs, changed minds, growing territories
• Your memory gets sharper the more you use it

Chat with your memory — any model
• Open the side panel and chat with Claude, Gemini, or GPT
• The right memories are pulled into every answer automatically
• Type @ to reference anything you've saved, right in the chat
• Switch models freely — your memory travels with you

Act on any selection
• Select text anywhere and choose: Capture, Ask, Explain, Translate, or Summarize
• Translate into your language, unpack a complex topic, or condense a long page in a click

Inspectable & private
• Every answer shows exactly which memories were used — correct or remove anything
• Raw prompts and vendor data aren't stored unless you opt in
• Delete something and everything derived from it goes with it

Yours, and reusable
• Your memory isn't locked in — it's ready to feed any chat or tool you connect
• One brain across the browser extension, the iOS app, and the web

💡 HOW IT WORKS
1. Pin Overlay and open it in Chrome's side panel
2. Capture as you browse — pages, files, chats, or highlighted text
3. Overlay organizes and connects it into your memory
4. Chat with any model — your memory feeds every answer, and you can see and correct what it used
5. It keeps evolving as you go — and "What changed" shows you the difference

🚀 GREAT FOR
• Research that compounds instead of scattering across tabs
• Deep reading — highlights and notes that stay anchored to their source
• Reading the web with an AI that remembers what you've seen
• Understanding and translating content in any language
• Turning long pages, PDFs, and threads into something you'll actually find later
• Carrying your context across Claude, Gemini, and GPT without re-explaining yourself

Start free — capture your first memory in seconds. No setup, no folders, no busywork.

Give your brain a break. Let Overlay remember it.
