Overlayr — Self-Hosted OBS Stream Overlays
Self-hosted OBS overlays. Pay $24 once, no subscription.
Overlayr is a self-hosted stream overlay suite for streamers tired of renting their scenes. Streamlabs Ultra is $19/mo ($149/yr — $537+ over 3 years) and OWN3D Pro is $12.99/mo; Overlayr is $24 once. Every overlay is just a URL you drop into an OBS Browser Source, updated live over WebSocket from your own server.
Timers are server-authoritative: OBS reloads Browser Sources constantly, and because remaining time is computed server-side and resent on every reconnect, a countdown never resets by accident — kill your PC mid-countdown and it resumes exactly right.
5 overlay types: countdown timer, goal bar with milestone flash, rotating ticker, "starting soon" scene, and alert box
Alerts fire from dashboard buttons (saved presets) or
POST /hook/:token— wire to Streamer.bot, Zapier, anythingLive editor: config form beside a real iframe preview over a transparent checkerboard — exactly what OBS sees
5 built-in themes (neon, minimal, retro, brutalist, glass) plus per-overlay font/color/scale overrides
One-screen Live Control panel: fire alerts, bump goals, start/pause timers mid-stream
Duplicate overlay + regenerate token to kill a leaked OBS URL instantly
No watermarks, ever — one SQLite file, zero telemetry
