NEXOVERLAY
Broadcast graphics without the control-room tax
NE
A modular overlay ecosystem for live creators, launch coverage, weather, events, and data-rich streams.
iPhone · iPad · macOS · OBS Browser Sources/ Product thesis
Great broadcast graphics are still too custom, fragile, and desktop-bound. NexOverlay turns proven overlays into a reusable system with a native remote, live preview, and resilient data adapters.
Core problem
Creators stitch together scripts, browser sources, dashboards, and hotkeys that fail at the moment a live event gets interesting.
Differentiator
One visual engine across specialized packs, with an iOS control surface, deterministic scene states, offline fallbacks, and data-source health visible before going live.
/ Minimum viable product
Small enough to learn.
Strong enough to keep.
- 01OBS browser-source renderer with theme tokens
- 02iPad/iPhone scene and lower-third remote
- 03Rocket launch and weather starter packs
- 04Connection health and fallback states
- 05Local network pairing with rehearsal mode
/ Product system
The loop behind
the interface.
Install a pack → customize a show → run it live → review reusable cues → save a stronger show template → add the next event pack.
Free core renderer and community pack. Pro subscription unlocks advanced packs, remote surfaces, cloud backup, and commercial use. One-time marketplace packs remain available.
The reliable broadcast graphics kit for creators who have outgrown static overlays but do not need a television control room.
/ SwiftUI architecture
Native by design.
A practical starting architecture, intentionally sized for an MVP and ready to evolve after real usage.
- Shared design tokens compiled for SwiftUI and web↗
- SwiftUI remote using unidirectional state and async/await↗
- Bonjour discovery and signed WebSocket control↗
- Observable scene-state reducer with command history↗
- Web renderer isolated from provider adapters↗
- StoreKit 2 entitlements shared through an account service↗
/ Realistic launch path
Evidence before expansion.
Timelines assume a focused solo or very small team.
