Overwolf is a platform for creating and using apps alongside games. Its apps can show live game statistics, record video and manage mods across more than 1,500 supported games. Players can find apps in the Overwolf Appstore and use the platform without signing in or creating an account. For creators, the SDK supports game overlays and desktop apps built with JavaScript and HTML; the developer suite includes real-time alerts, a Game Event API, monetization tools, performance optimization, analytics and support. CurseForge is Overwolf’s mod hub for games including Minecraft, World of Warcraft and The Sims 4. Overwolf says published apps are manually checked for quality, malware, performance and compliance with game-developer terms. It says it anonymizes data used to improve the experience and allows users to opt out. The platform is free, though some apps may require subscriptions. Windows use requires Windows 10 or 11 64-bit, 350 MB of storage, .NET Framework 4.8 and at least 8 GB of RAM.
