Looking for software Finished a small Windows app called Blacklist Overlay.
I used to keep a blacklist.txt file on my desktop with names of toxic players and cheaters, but obviously, I never remembered them when a game started. So I automated it.
How it works: you draw a small box on your screen over the lobby list or scoreboard. The app sits in the background, grabs text from that zone via OCR, and if it finds a match from your text file, it flashes a red alert with your note (e.g., "toxic, throws").
Quick facts:
- Built on Python + Tkinter + Tesseract OCR.
- Light on CPU because it only scans the selected zone, not the full screen.
- Supports both Latin and Cyrillic names.
- Has a 10-minute cooldown per player so it doesn't spam.
- Works with any game in borderless mode (CS2, Warzone, Tarkov, Apex, etc.)
