DESKTOP COMPANION OVERLAY

Get the H.U.D Manager Overlay

An always-on-top HUD that floats over Star Citizen — live zone tracking, trade routes, and your full loadout toolkit, without ever alt-tabbing. Free pilot account. 14 days of every tool, then the free tools stay free. Premium optional.

NEW · NATIVE OVERLAY · NOW LIVE

The new native H.U.D Manager overlay is here

We rebuilt the overlay from the ground up as a native Windows app, and it replaces the classic overlay, which is being retired. If you still use the classic one, download this instead and sign in with the same pilot account. Create a free pilot account to start a 14-day trial of every tool. After the trial, Ship Loadout Bay, Trade, Media and the Pilot Portal stay free, and Premium unlocks the rest.

Ship Loadout Bay, right over the game
Assistant: ask about ships, parts, prices and keys, answered only from the game data
Blueprint tracker that ticks blueprints for you from the game log
Top-down Starmap with distances and quantum travel time
Trade, Live Kit, Logbook, Mining and Crafting panels
Keybinds lookup, and links that open in an in-game browser so you never tab out
Voice commands, Pilot mail

The new overlay is Windows only for now, so Linux keeps using the classic overlay · AppImage ~117 MB · All releases on GitHub

🐧 Linux is an early beta. The app, pilot portal, voice co-pilot, and the floating in-game overlay (Right Alt to summon) all work — a few things are still being polished. After download: chmod +x HUD-Manager-Overlay*.AppImage then ./HUD-Manager-Overlay*.AppImage. Built with the Star Citizen Linux Users Group in mind — feedback welcome.

⚠ The installer is code-signed (verified publisher: Leron Gordon). While it builds reputation with Microsoft, Windows SmartScreen may still show a brief notice on first run — just click More info → Run anyway. It's safe; full source is on GitHub.
