Overlay vs Daemon

Overlay (one shot)

• Starts immediately and exits when you close it
• Simple and predictable
• Best for quick annotations

Command:

wayscriber --active

Daemon (background)

• Runs in the background and keeps your drawings between toggles
• Faster to access during presentations
• Works well with a keybind

Command:

wayscriber --daemon

If installed, the systemd user service is the most reliable way to keep the daemon running.
