0.6.9 makes the overlay editor smarter, OBS updates instant, and puts you in control of your data.

Smarter Overlay Editor

Overlay components now know what they are. Each component comes with built-in properties — colors, fonts, sizes, gradients — that show up automatically in the Properties panel when you select it.

What's new

  • Auto-generated Properties panel — select a component, see exactly what you can customize. No guessing which style values to change.

  • Gradient backgrounds — a visual gradient editor right in the Properties panel. Pick colors, adjust stops, choose direction. Works in the editor and in OBS.

  • Theme-aware components — components follow the active theme by default. Switch themes and everything updates.

  • Better icons — the overlay toolbar and sidebar now use clean, consistent icons instead of emoji.


Live OBS Preview

Changes you make in the overlay editor now show up in OBS instantly. Move an element, resize it, change a color, toggle visibility — OBS updates as you do it. No more saving and refreshing to check if it looks right.

Previously, some changes (like editing text or adjusting styles) wouldn't reach OBS until you reloaded. That's fixed — every edit syncs immediately.

Opening an overlay is also smoother. Instead of briefly showing an empty screen while elements load one by one, everything appears at once.


Privacy Controls

VortiDeck now asks before collecting any usage data.

On first launch, you'll see a small banner at the bottom:

Help improve VortiDeck? We collect anonymous usage analytics. No personal data. You can change this anytime in Settings → Privacy.

[Accept] [No thanks]

If you pick "No thanks," zero data is sent. You can change your mind later in Settings → Privacy. The banner only appears once — after you choose, it won't come back.


OBS Action Fixes

Creating and editing OBS actions works reliably again. If you had issues saving actions or saw crashes when loading actions with missing parameters — that's been fixed. Actions also update across the app immediately after saving, without needing to navigate away.


Simplified Pricing

The website now has two plans: Free and Pro. The Business tier is gone — Pro includes everything: unlimited AI executions, unlimited devices, all integrations.


Coming Next

More effects

Event based animation effects for overlays.

Engine Integration

Integration of the streaming module and events like chat messages into engine. Overlay will work together with engine so you will be able to display chats and trigger actions/overlay actions on the overlay in real time.
