LocalLayer is a cross-platform desktop app (Windows, macOS, Linux) that allows creators to display localhost-based web content in a standalone window for easy capture in streaming or recording software.

It was created to solve a common issue where tools like TikTok Live Studio do not support capturing localhost URLs directly. LocalLayer acts as a bridge, making local web overlays usable in live streaming workflows.

2. Configure your overlay settings.
3. Click to Create Overlays.
4. Capture the overlay window in your streaming or recording software (e.g., TikTok Live Studio).
5. (Optional) Save your configuration as a preset for later use.
