Desktop overlay crosshair apps

This cluster covers desktop overlay utilities, primarily for gaming, that draw custom crosshairs, click effects, or other transparent images on screen with controls for appearance, positioning, and click-through behavior. Its dated history is too thin to read a shape from — only two entries predate the index start. Traction is led by ba-click-mac with 7 stars, followed by ba-click-tauri (3 stars) and shade- (2 stars).

Each bar is the month a member carries, which is a creation date where the source published one and a crawl date otherwise. Nothing in the index was found before 11 August 2026, and coverage broadened sharply on 14–15 August, so a bar from then on reports how much we found that month, not how much was built; an earlier bar reports how far back a member's own source dated it — not how long we have been watching.
