After entering your license key you will arrive at the Setup screen.
Plugins/extensions for each of the host apps are installed here.
After Effects / Illustrator: CEP extension
Photoshop: UXP plugin
Figma: Plugin
We recommend installing the plugin from the Figma Community to be able to run in the browser and desktop versions of Figma
If you you have corporate limitations on using Community plugins, you may install it manually.
Recomendations
We recommend that you enable:
✅ Start Overlord on login
Whenever you restart your computer (which you should probably do more often), Overlord will automatically start up so you don't have to manually launch it
✅ Auto-update plugins
This makes sure that
Optional:
✅ Launch in the background
Whenever the Overlord app launches, it will not show any windows and go right into the menu-bar/system-tray
This is to reduce the number of windows that popup when you restart your computer, but it can be confusing (see App won't start again)
This displays all the apps that are available to talk with the Overlord system. This means the app is open, and there is an extension/plugin running.
New in 2.4.0
Show or hide buttons in the plugin/extension panels from within the Hosts section of the app. Click Edit plugin button visibility to enter edit mode and switch buttons on or off. Save to update the buttons in each app.
Overlord will check for updates once per day and notify you in the menubar when updates are available. Open the app to Updates to download and install the newest releases of Overlord.
All the boring stuff about Overlord lives here.
Unlink this machine
Click Unlink this machine to deauthorize your license key on the current computer. This allows the license key to be used on a different computer and will lock the app on your current machine. This may also be done on the manifest page but it's quicker to do it within the app.
