Push & Lift is the Suite that opens every app. SETTINGS, at the foot of the menu, gathers how it looks, sounds and behaves, and your account.
Installing and signing in

Run it. It is for Windows.
Open Push & Lift and sign in with your account.
The Suite menu
The apps go by groups: PIT, DDU, BLACK BOX and OVERLAYS. Clicking one shows its bench. Collapse menu folds it away. Apps with their own window have OPEN, CLOSE and BRING TO FRONT.

Each overlay can have its own shortcut to start or stop.

An icon shows the old drawing: it may be the Windows cache; restarting the PC fixes it.
An overlay does not respond to clicks: press Ctrl+Alt+L.
