The CrosshairY app showing the Crosshairs page with a grid of crosshair templates

A crosshair that behaves like part of the OS.

Most overlay tools want an installer, an account, and a corner of your taskbar. CrosshairY wants none of it. It's a single transparent window that sits above everything, ignores your clicks, and disappears from view the moment you ask it to.

Built with C# WPF on .NET 8 and released under MIT - the entire source is public. Read it, fork it, build it yourself with one build.bat.

It's free, it stays free, and it ships with one promise: a perfect user experience. No ads, no upsells, no "pro version" hiding behind a paywall.

Respectful by design

No game hooks, no drivers, no injection. CrosshairY never reads, writes or touches another process - it just paints pixels on your own screen, the way a sticky note on your monitor would.

No taskbar icon, borderless, fully click-through. It runs silently and never gets in the way of your aim or your alt-tab.

Light and instant

A single self-contained .exe with nothing to install. Your last config auto-loads on launch, so you open it and you're already dialed in.

Templates, images, hotkeys - one window

Dot, Ring, Sniper, X Cross, Chevrons, Corners, Dot Ring, or import your own PNG/JPG/BMP/GIF as a crosshair. Bind any template, drawn, or image crosshair to a hotkey for instant switching. Size from 50% to 200%, opacity, outline, center-gap and drag positioning on every type.

Build your own crosshair

Draw a custom design on a 15, 30 or 60 grid with pencil, eraser, fill, line, rectangle and ellipse. Mirror left/right, up/down or 4-way for clean symmetry, with full undo and redo. Save it to your collection and drag it anywhere on screen.

Designed to get out of your way

Follow-cursor mode replaces the Windows pointer so the crosshair tracks with zero lag, then restores the instant it's off. Nudge it off-center with exact X/Y offset, pick which monitor it lives on, and the overlay stays topmost even in aggressive fullscreen games.

Free and fully open-source

Every part of CrosshairY is public under the MIT license. Read it, audit it, fork it or build it yourself with one build.bat. No exceptions.

Proof mode for clean clips

One keypress flags the overlay with WDA_EXCLUDEFROMCAPTURE, so OBS, Discord screenshare and clips simply can't see it. Your screen keeps the crosshair; the recording doesn't.

Profiles that follow your games

Save configs as plain .json, then map a profile to a game and CrosshairY loads it the moment that game takes focus - with optional auto-revert when you alt-tab out. Auto-update keeps you on the latest release, and it can start with Windows.

The CrosshairY system tray menu with overlay, follow cursor, proof mode and profiles

Everything from the tray.

CrosshairY lives quietly in your system tray. Right-click to toggle the overlay, flip follow-cursor or proof mode, jump between profiles, or open the full window - all without leaving your game.

There's no taskbar icon and nothing in your way. It's there when you want it and invisible when you don't.

Made for players, with love.

We built the crosshair overlay we wanted to use ourselves - honest, comfortable and non-invasive. No accounts, no nags, no nonsense.

Perfect for competitive play

A pixel-perfect, always-centered aim point on games that hide their own, with proof mode so your clips stay clean. Nothing flickers, nothing lags, nothing gets in your way.

Perfect for everyone

One small .exe, zero setup. Whether you're grinding ranked or just want a steady dot on screen, CrosshairY loads fast and stays out of the way.

Ready to lock in?

Grab the .exe, run it, aim. No installer, no account, no nags - and if you ever delete the file, it's gone like it was never there.
