[Overwolf](http://www.overwolf.com/) is an app that adds cool tools to your games. The Overwolf interface gives you [Facebook](http://store.overwolf.com/app/Overwolf-FacebookWebApp), [TeamSpeak](http://store.overwolf.com/app/Overwolf-TeamSpeak), [Twitter](http://store.overwolf.com/app/Overwolf-Twitter), [Google+](http://store.overwolf.com/app/Overwolf-GooglePlus), [a browser](http://store.overwolf.com/app/Overwolf-Browser), [video capture](http://store.overwolf.com/app/Overwolf-Game_Capture) and many more - all without requiring the user to exit the game he or she is playing. Publishers can add the functionality Overwolf without touching a line of code in their games.

Overwolf app consists of three main parts:
1. HTML / javascript source files.
2. A manifest file ([manifest.json](http://developers.overwolf.com/documentation/sdk/overwolf/manifest-json/)), containing the various properties of the app.
3. The images that are associated with the app (buttons for example).

These three measures enable security (an app does not have access to the user’s local files), separation (an app can’t interfere with other apps) and encapsulation (if an app crashes or breaks, it doesn’t affect the rest of the system).

You can do some great stuff with web technologies, we know that. To help you kick your app up a notch, Overwolf provides a JavaScript API to enable different functions that relate to the game that is being played by the user, or the operating system. For example, taking a screenshot of the game, getting the current game name, changing the window size, location, transparency and more.
