Overview

Overa is a desktop cricket companion designed to keep live match data accessible without interrupting your workflow. It removes the need for multiple tabs and constant context switching.

The app provides real time scores, full match breakdowns, and a floating widget for live tracking in a compact, distraction free interface.

Motivation

Checking live cricket scores usually means opening multiple tabs, refreshing pages, or switching contexts repeatedly. Overa was built to make match tracking passive, fast, and always accessible while you focus on your work.

Goals

  • Provide instant access to live match data
  • Minimize context switching while working
  • Design for always-on lightweight usage
  • Keep UI compact yet information dense
  • Enable quick access to detailed match insights

Design objectives

  • Glassmorphism based desktop UI
  • Compact layouts for small window sizes
  • Clear hierarchy for live match data
  • Smooth transitions between states
  • Consistent dark theme across views

Features

Live Match Tracking

Track live, upcoming, and recent matches with real time updates.

Detailed Match View

Access scorecards, squads, current players, and ball by ball breakdown.

Floating Widget

Subscribe to a match and keep a compact live view always visible.

Installation guide

Overa is distributed as an unsigned desktop app. Depending on your operating system, you may see security warnings during installation. These are expected and can be safely bypassed using the steps below.

macOS

  • Download the macOS build from the latest release
  • If the file is a .tar.gz archive, extract it first
  • Move the app to Applications
  • Remove macOS quarantine restriction before opening
terminal
mv ~/Downloads/Overa.app /Applications/ 2>/dev/null || true
      xattr -dr com.apple.quarantine "/Applications/Overa.app"
      open "/Applications/Overa.app"

If the app is still archived, extract it first:

terminal
tar -xzf ~/Downloads/Overa_*.app.tar.gz -C ~/Downloads
      mv ~/Downloads/Overa.app /Applications/
      xattr -dr com.apple.quarantine "/Applications/Overa.app"
      open "/Applications/Overa.app"

Windows

  • Download the Windows build from the latest release
  • Open the installer or executable file
  • If SmartScreen warning appears, click 'More info' then 'Run anyway'

This warning appears because the app is not code signed yet.

Linux

  • Download the Linux build from the latest release
  • Make the AppImage executable
  • Run the app directly
terminal
chmod +x ~/Downloads/Overa*.AppImage && ~/Downloads/Overa*.AppImage
