Daily OVR

The best overlay program... stable and light.

was great but steam just robed them

Not the best layout program, but still pretty good. Easy to use, but having multiple windows open and pointing at a window draws it above all others, so having multiple windows open can be pointless if it's behind another window. Also doesn't support curving windows, which is quite annoying. Definitely better than OVRDrop, but still not the best overlay program. I'd suggest XSOverlay over this one.

Only Steam games ??

I couldn't get all the features to work. Once the menu was open it wouldn't close and the windows randomly disappeared on me. Not for me.

好用 用了XSOverlay OVRtoolkit等等 只有这个占用内存最小 不卡

doesn't crash for the most part, high end usage, most valuable vr application you can have.

OVERALL GOOD, but dated in 2023. Not my first recommendation. If you just want a very barebones 'put a screen on the back of my wrist' and that's all you use it for, its fine. It occasionally (1/5 times) hangs when I try to quit SteamVR and I have to go in and kill some stuff, but it's due to the like 5 other background programs I use. Once I close them in the system tray this closes. For streamers and such you may want to weigh XSOverlay and OVR Toolkit

An iffy yes. The program is constantly crashing and bugging out. The tutorial is kinda... unintuitive as well. All I wanted it for was to put a twitch chat on the screen when I stream. It works, but, took ages to work out how too. And as previously noted, it crashes a lot. And trying to shut it down is impossible. I have to force close Steam to shut it down. And then often it won't reopen upon restarting it. Edit: Been using a new program which I actually think is vastly better. "OVR Toolkit". Worth the change. No offence to the devs of this software of course.

I've had this software for a long, long time, well before there was a free version. The free version would have been nice for a while, but having the paid version has its benefits... obviously. I totally recommend this software over all the other overlays out there. There's an open source one I also have been enjoying very recently, but it takes more effort to use and doesn't seem to be as stable or as easy to use in general. Daily OVR is still my go-to solution for seeing chat windows, youtube videos, anything browser-based, obs, everything within VR. There are some minor gripes: 1. The dev never adds anything new to this. The last update was just to add the free version. 2. There is only 1 built-in app, the clock, and it's not customizable. 3. The keyboard button is on the top of each window rather than on your wrist menu or at the bottom. The bottom of the window should be an option at least. I would prefer a wrist menu keyboard shortcut. 4. Sometimes, Liv thinks it needs to capture DailyOVR. The workarounds are to either minimize DailyOVR and launch Liv with a game already open or to load DailyOVR after Liv has already launched something. This isn't really DailyOVR's fault, but I would like to figure out how to load DailyOVR without the splash screen, which is what Liv tries to capture. 5. After over 1000 hours, I still haven't figured out the gestures system and I can't seem to turn it off, so sometimes, I accidentally gesture for input. The major pros of this software: 1. Gestures seem neat if I only understood how to use them. 2. Built-in clock is nice-looking and can be handy when you're trying to keep an eye on the time. I use this when playing Beat Saber because I often will play that game for many hours without realizing it. Very easy to open and close. 3. The menu button toggle is very easy to understand and remember, though it does get in the way of a few games which also use that button. I think you can customize this button press using SteamVR's input mappings, though I was happy with it as-is, so I didn't try that. It would be nice if the app gave you a lock to disable it within SteamVR's dashboard. 4. The overall UI design is pretty good. It won't win any awards, but it looks decent and has a small footprint in games. Obviously, try the free version first. Try all the free options before purchasing anything. You might like something else more. Daily OVR just was priced well at the time I needed something and has worked well for quite a while. It continues to remain stable and never give me any major issues.
