A small desktop overlay for meeting notes and bullet points. Paste talking points once, then keep the window on top while you present or record. The overlay is excluded from entire-screen sharing (Zoom, Meet, Teams, OBS) so viewers don't see it.

- Transparent overlay — Frameless, always-on-top window; position and resize as you like.
- Edit mode — Toggle with Ctrl+E to paste and edit bullet points and meeting notes; toggle back to view-only.
- Persistent notes — Notes are saved to disk and restored on next launch.
- Global hotkeys — Work even when the app is in the background.
- Hidden from screen share — Uses the same Windows API as InvisiWind (
SetWindowDisplayAffinity/WDA_EXCLUDEFROMCAPTURE). When you share your entire screen, the overlay is excluded from the capture. Requires Windows 10 2004 or later.

Troubleshooting
If the Talking Point interface is visible on apps like Zoom when you share your screen, enable Advanced capture with window filter in your meeting or recording app so it can exclude the overlay from capture.
