Live demo, exactly how it looks over your game
Setup, start to finish
About five minutes total. Everything you paste comes from your account page, generated for your account specifically.
1. Create your account and grab your links
Sign in at progressbar.gg/app (email link, no password). On that page, hit Generate overlay link and Generate mod command. Keep the tab open, you will paste from it in the next two steps. Important: tick items while signed in, the overlay reads your account, not the browser.
2. Put the bar on stream (OBS or Streamlabs)
In OBS: Sources panel → + → Browser, name it "ProgressBar", paste your overlay link into URL, set Width 800, Height 180, OK. Same thing in Streamlabs (Sources → + → Browser Source). The background is transparent, so drag it wherever it looks good. It updates itself every few seconds; no refreshing, no scene fiddling.
3. Set up the mod command (Nightbot)
First, if Nightbot is not already in your channel: go to nightbot.tv, sign in with Twitch, click Join Channel. Then, in your own Twitch chat, as the broadcaster, paste the one-line !addcom command from your account page. Done. Your mods (and only mods) can now type !found spaceship part 31 and it ticks on your tracker and the on-screen bar within seconds. !found undo <name> reverses a mistake, and a vague name never ticks anything, the bot lists the close matches instead. StreamElements users: the equivalent command string is on the same page.
4. Give viewers a check-in command
Your account page also shows a plain-text URL. Paste this in your chat once: !addcom !progress $(urlfetch YOUR_TEXT_URL) (with your real URL from the page). Anyone can then type !progress and get "GTA V 100%: 42.1% (243/578 items)" in chat.
If something is not working
- Overlay is blank: re-copy the full link (it is long), or regenerate it on your account page and update the browser source URL.
- Bar never moves: you are probably ticking while signed out. Sign in at /app in the browser where you tick; your guest progress merges in automatically.
- !found does nothing: Nightbot is not joined to your channel, or the person typing is not a mod. The command is moderator-only by design.
- Bot says "matches several": that is the safety net. Add a number or category, like "spaceship part 31" instead of "part".
- Mod link leaked to chat: worst case someone ticks items. Hit Regenerate on your account page and the old link dies instantly.
