Crntly is a desktop streaming overlay studio developed and published by livestreaming.tools, currently at version 0.10.1 with a total of eight released versions documented in the catalog. The software is designed for content creators who broadcast on Twitch, YouTube, and Kick, providing an integrated environment for building, managing, and delivering streaming overlays without relying on external tools. Its core concept centers on canvas-based composition: users assemble overlay layouts from a library of widgets that includes Twitch chat, stream alerts, Spotify now-playing displays, subscriber goal trackers, viewer counters, and support for custom HTML elements, allowing extensive personalization of on-screen presentation. Once a canvas is constructed, it can be streamed directly from the application, eliminating the need for a separate broadcasting program in supported workflows. Crntly also incorporates production features typically associated with full broadcast software, including scenes and transitions for switching between layouts, audio mixing, screen capture, and game capture, all built into the same interface. A distinguishing aspect of the software is its web-based collaboration capability: canvas owners can invite editors to work on shared designs, publish live widget URLs for reuse across platforms and tools, and follow a design-once, use-everywhere approach that keeps overlay assets consistent across different streaming setups. Typical use cases include live gaming broadcasts, interactive talk or variety streams, and music or creative sessions where dynamic information such as chat activity, donation alerts, and subscriber progress needs to be displayed in real time. Within a software catalog, Crntly falls into the streaming and broadcast production category, overlapping with overlay design tools and desktop live production suites. Its version history of eight releases, culminating in the current 0.10.1 build, reflects ongoing development of the platform's widget ecosystem, capture capabilities, and collaborative features for streamers and their production teams.
