Early Access Software

What the developers have to say:

Why Early Access?

“As a solo indie developer, testing this overlay app across countless PC configurations, multi-monitor setups, and various streaming software is impossible without a broader player base. Early Access allows me to gather real-world usage data, resolve edge-case compatibility issues, and shape future features based on what users actually need.”

Approximately how long will this software be in Early Access?

“Neural Soul will remain in Early Access for roughly 6 to 12 months in estimate. However, this timeline may adjust depending on the volume of community feedback and the complexity of requested features.”

How is the full version planned to differ from the Early Access version?

“For the full version, I plan to add more customization options, expand Workshop resources, and continuously refine core features while fixing bugs. I also aim to polish the overall UI/UX and improve performance stability. The final scope of any brand-new features will heavily depend on the community feedback gathered during the Early Access period.”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“The core functionality is fully implemented and usable, but as a solo developer, I anticipate there may still be undiscovered bugs or compatibility issues across different hardware. Users can currently customize avatars, place animated stickers anywhere on their screen, use the built-in background removal tool, run the mic-reactive PNGtuber mode, and sync screens with friends via LAN. Steam Workshop uploading and downloading are also fully implemented.”

Will this software be priced differently during and after Early Access?

“Yes, the price will moderately increase upon full release as more features are added.”

How are you planning on involving the Community in your development process?

“I will actively collect player feedback through the Steam Discussion boards and the official Discord server. This community feedback will directly influence the future development roadmap.”

Personalize Your Screen

  • Design custom avatars using your own images and names

  • Organize stickers into playlists with automatic slideshow rotation

  • Built-in SMTC music panel: displays your currently playing track with system-wide media playback controls

Background Removal Tool

  • Lightweight built-in tool to remove backgrounds from images and GIFs

  • Color-based removal with protect zones and manual eraser

  • Export individual frames from a GIF for use as stickers or avatars

Streamer Sticker (PNGtuber Mode)

  • Upload an idle and talking image — your avatar switches automatically based on your microphone

  • Dims when silent, animates when you speak — a simple PNGtuber overlay for your stream

  • Adjustable silence and talk thresholds to match your setup

LAN Party Mode

  • Host or join a local network room to appear on each other's screens for real-time, VTuber-style collaborations

  • Room password support for private sessions

Steam Workshop

  • Upload your own creations with one click

  • Filter by type: avatars, stickers, streamer stickers, or your own uploads

Lightweight & Private

  • ~100-300 MB actual RAM usage (~300+ MB on startup; tested to drop to ~90+ MB after 2 hours in standby)

  • All processing is local — no telemetry, no account required

  • Start on boot via system tray

  • Supports Traditional Chinese, Simplified Chinese, English, Japanese, and Korean

! About the Store Page Media

Please note: The background patterns and the UI (such as the left-side icons and bottom taskbar) shown in the screenshots and trailer are mockups (fake wallpapers) used solely to demonstrate the software's overlay effects. They are not built-in features and are not included in the app. Neural Soul provides the transparent, always-on-top elements (like the avatar and media player) that overlay on top of your actual desktop.
