What is it?

DM Note is a key viewer that shows the keys you press on screen while you play. It was built for DJMAX RESPECT V but can be used with any game, and it is meant to be simple to set up so the overlay can go straight into a stream or gameplay video.

The overlay supports real-time key visualization, per-key mapping, note effects, key counters, and KPS (keys per second) statistics with graphs. Users can edit keys in a grid, assign images to individual keys, customize the interface with CSS and plugins, and save presets. The overlay can stay on top, lock its position, and be added to OBS as a browser source, which the project recommends for streaming setups where the overlay itself is not needed on the gaming screen.

The app is built with Tauri, React, and TypeScript, and runs on Windows 10/11 and macOS. Its input detection uses the Raw Input API on Windows and global input events on macOS. Windows builds can optionally include ASIO audio output for key sounds.
