DESKTOP COMPANION OVERLAY

Get the H.U.D Manager Overlay

An always-on-top HUD that floats over Star Citizen — live zone tracking, trade routes, and your full loadout toolkit, without ever alt-tabbing. Free forever. Premium optional.

DOWNLOAD THE OVERLAY
WINDOWS 10 / 11 · 64-bit BETA LINUX AppImage · any distro
Windows installer ~255 MB · Linux AppImage ~117 MB · All releases on GitHub

🐧 Linux is an early beta. The app, pilot portal, voice co-pilot, and the floating in-game overlay (Right Alt to summon) all work — a few things are still being polished. After download: chmod +x HUD-Manager-Overlay*.AppImage then ./HUD-Manager-Overlay*.AppImage. Built with the Star Citizen Linux Users Group in mind — feedback welcome.
↑ Freemium & auto-updating. Basic is free forever (no card). New pilots get 7 days of Premium free. Auto-update is built in — existing installs update on next restart.
⚠ The installer is code-signed (verified publisher: Leron Gordon). While it builds reputation with Microsoft, Windows SmartScreen may still show a brief notice on first run — just click More info → Run anyway. It's safe; full source is on GitHub.
