SysOverlay is a modern BGInfo alternative for Windows 10 and 11: a live desktop HUD showing hostname, IP, CPU, RAM, disk, uptime, and battery on every PC.
The free agent includes signed silent auto-updates. Home Plus or Pro adds a private fleet dashboard with plain-English alerts, in-HUD nudges, and local repair tools — no remote control.
