## Description

DevInfoOverlay is a powerful Chrome extension that displays transparent overlays with real-time system information such as CPU frequency, CPU load, RAM availability, battery percentage, voltage, charge rate, GPU load and frequency, refresh rate, network traffic, and Wi-Fi info. Designed for Android devices, it supports customization including transparency, text scaling, and color themes (with Device Info HW+ license).

Users can choose from predefined overlays or create custom widgets using built-in functions, shell commands, or temperature sensors. Overlay display options include text, charts, progress bars, and status bar integration with adjustable alignment. Features such as non-interactive widgets and update intervals provide advanced control. Some metrics require root access due to device restrictions. DevInfoOverlay is ideal for developers and enthusiasts wanting detailed, always-visible hardware stats right over their running apps.

## Review summary

DevInfoOverlay is praised for its detailed, customizable hardware monitoring including CPU and battery statistics, ease of use, and ad-free experience. However, users commonly report issues with GPU frequency display, overlay positioning, limited customization options, and missing features like FPS monitoring. Some experience inconsistencies on different devices or Android versions, such as inaccurate sensor readings or incomplete data. Overall, it is regarded as a simple yet effective app with room for enhancements in functionality and user interface.

### Pros

- Provides detailed hardware monitoring including CPU, GPU load, temperatures, and battery consumption.
- Allows customization of overlay size and arrangement, which is appreciated by users.
- Simple and easy to set up, working well for monitoring needs especially during gaming.
- Ad-free application with continuous updates and reliable performance on multiple devices.
- Users appreciate its long-term use and consider it a useful and exceptional app for hardware info.

### Cons

- GPU frequency and usage sometimes do not display correctly or show as unavailable on certain devices.
- Overlays can be difficult to move precisely on some phones; lack a snap-in-place function for better positioning.
- Lacks advanced customization such as text shadows, fonts, colors, and landscape/portrait specific overlay placement.
- Missing important monitoring features like frame rate (FPS) display, wattage, and IP address overlays.
- Inconsistent behavior on newer Android versions with some sensors (e.g., CPU load not showing on Android 11) and occasional inaccurate temperature readings.
