A small desktop overlay for meeting notes and bullet points. Paste talking points once, then keep the window on top while you present or record.
- Transparent overlay — Frameless, always-on-top window; position and resize as you like.
- Edit mode — Toggle with Ctrl+E to paste and edit bullet points and meeting notes; toggle back to view-only.
- Persistent notes — Notes are saved to disk and restored on next launch.
- Global hotkeys — Work even when the app is in the background.
- Hidden from screen share (Windows) — Uses the Windows API equivalent of InvisiWind (
SetWindowDisplayAffinity/WDA_EXCLUDEFROMCAPTURE) via ElectronsetContentProtection(true). - Hidden from screen share (macOS + Zoom) — Best-effort: the app marks its window as “not shareable”; Zoom must have “Advanced capture with window filtering” enabled (see Interview Coder’s Zoom note). This is not guaranteed for every capture app on macOS.
| Shortcut | Action |
|---|---|
| Ctrl+Q | Quit the app |
| Ctrl+B | Show or hide the overlay |
| Ctrl+Shift+D | Toggle click-through (clicks pass through overlay to apps behind; use again to interact with overlay) |
| Ctrl+E | Toggle edit mode |
| Ctrl+M | Enlarge the window |
| Ctrl+N | Shrink the window |
| Ctrl+Arrow | Move the window |
In edit mode: Esc to save and switch back to view mode. To edit notes while click-through is on, press Ctrl+Shift+D first to turn it off.
- Download the installer (e.g.
Talking Point Setup 1.0.0.exe) from the release or your download link. - Run the .exe. Windows may show a SmartScreen prompt — choose “More info” then “Run anyway” if you trust the publisher.
- Follow the wizard: pick an install location (or keep the default), then finish. The app is installed with a Start Menu shortcut and optional Desktop shortcut.
- Launch Talking Point from the Start Menu or Desktop. Use Ctrl+B to show or hide the overlay.
- Uninstall anytime via Settings → Apps → Talking Point → Uninstall (or Add or remove programs).
Windows invisibility requires Windows 10 2004 or later (64-bit).
npm install
npm run distThe installer is written to dist/Talking Point Setup 1.0.0.exe (version from package.json). That single file includes the app and everything needed; users only need to download and run it.
Build the native addon + DMG/ZIP:
npm install
npm run native:mac
npm run dist:macWhy is the installer large? Electron bundles Chromium and Node.js (~120–180 MB), so even a small app produces a ~150–200 MB installer. The build is configured to exclude docs, source maps, and markdown to trim a few MB. To get a much smaller app you’d need a different stack (e.g. Tauri).
- Electron — Main process creates one transparent, frameless, always-on-top
BrowserWindow. - Windows —
win.setContentProtection(true)so the overlay is excluded from screen capture.
