The basics
Overnewz is a desktop overlay that streams real-time, AI-summarized market news straight onto your screen. It floats on top of whatever you're already doing — your chart, your broker, your browser — so you never have to alt-tab into a separate terminal to see what's moving.
Retail traders and anyone who wants headline-speed market news without paying for a $100+/month professional terminal. If you trade equities, macro, forex or crypto and want to react to news as it breaks, it's built for you.
Windows and macOS. The Mac build is universal, so it runs natively on both Apple Silicon and Intel machines, and it's signed and notarized by Apple — it opens without a security warning. Linux isn't available; email support@overnewz.com if you'd want it and we'll factor it into the roadmap.
Click Download, run the installer, and the app launches itself when it finishes. There's no account to create and nothing to configure — the overlay starts delivering news right away.
Yes. The installer is code-signed under our name, but because Overnewz is a newer app, Windows SmartScreen sometimes shows a caution screen until enough people have installed it. Click More info → Run anyway to continue. The warning fades on its own as our download reputation builds.
The free trial and what it costs
No. Download the app, run it, and you get 7 days of the full product — no card, no account, no email required. You only enter payment details if you decide to keep it after the trial.
7 days, with every feature unlocked — or 14 days if you have a referral code from one of our partners. No limited "lite" mode either way: you're using the complete product the whole time.
The overlay stops delivering new headlines until you upgrade. When you're ready, click the Upgrade button in the overlay's header, pick a plan, and complete the Stripe checkout — it takes under a minute.
$5 per month. One plan, one price — no tiers, no "Pro" version locked behind another paywall, no upsells. See the pricing page for how that compares to the alternatives.
Yes. Once you're on Pro, the overlay's header shows a Manage Pro button — click it and Overnewz opens your secure Stripe billing portal, where you can cancel, change your card, or download invoices. If you cancel, you keep access until the end of the billing period you've already paid for — we don't cut you off mid-month.
Living on your desktop
Cards slide in as news breaks and clear themselves after a few seconds. When there's nothing new, the overlay quietly disappears so it's never in your way — then reappears the instant the next headline lands. You can drag it anywhere, and it stays on top of your other windows.
Yes. Drag it anywhere on any monitor, and use the global hotkey to show or hide the overlay instantly without leaving your chart. Its position is remembered between sessions.
Every headline gets a 0–10 score for how much it's likely to move markets, and tags for the assets it touches — oil, gold, the dollar, the euro, indices and crypto — so you can see at a glance how big it is and what it affects, without reading the full story first. Hover a card for the market read: a plain-English line on what it means for the market.
When a market-moving figure is speaking live — for example a US President at the White House — Overnewz pins a single card that updates in place with their latest quotes as they talk, instead of flooding you with a new card for every line. When they step away from the mic the card dims to an "off mic" state, then picks back up when they resume.
Where the news comes from
From a curated mix of financial newswires, official economic releases (central banks and government statistics agencies), and vetted real-time feeds. We prioritize primary sources and the fastest reliable carriers so you see moves as early as possible.
When you're trading, you need the signal, not the whole story. Overnewz condenses each item to the part that matters — the number, the decision, the quote — so you can read it in the time it takes a card to appear. Summaries are AI-generated, so treat them as a fast heads-up, not a substitute for the primary source on anything you act on.
US equities, macro and economic data, central banks, forex, commodities, and major crypto headlines — the news that tends to move broad markets, rather than deep coverage of a single ticker.
Your data and your payment
No. There's no sign-up, no username, and no password. You download the app and start using it — the trial is tied to your device, not to an account you have to make.
As little as possible. We don't ask for your name or email to use the app, and we never see your trades, positions, or anything on your screen. If you subscribe, our payment processor collects your email and billing details to run the subscription. The full breakdown is in our privacy policy.
Payments run through Stripe, a PCI-compliant processor used by millions of businesses. Your card details go straight to Stripe — Overnewz never sees or stores them.
Email support@overnewz.com and we'll sort it out. Because there's a full free trial before you're charged anything, most billing questions are quick to resolve — and if something's genuinely wrong, we'll make it right.
