# Akron documentation

> Install, configure, and contribute to Akron, an Everest utility suite for Celeste.

Akron is an Everest code mod for Celeste. It adds a tabbed in-game overlay, `.akr` setup packs, proof metadata, capture tools, HUD widgets, room-lab tools, visible status, and interop with established Celeste tooling.

Akron separates player-facing workflows from submission and development policy. Use the player guide to configure the overlay and tools. Use the classification pages when you need to understand how a feature affects attempt status.

## What Akron Covers

Akron's public surface includes:

* A tabbed overlay with current in-game tabs for Global, Level, StartPos, Bypass, Keybinds, Player, Sound, Creator, Interface, Labels, Shortcuts, Internal Recorder, and loaded external integrations.
* Visible attempt status and policy badges that show when a tool is Goldberry/Hardlist clear, Normal clear, or Cheat.
* Shareable `.akr` packs for whole setups or scoped sections.
* HUD widgets for room labels, inputs, timers, resources, death stats, StartPos state, and custom labels.
* Capture and recording tools for screenshots, map capture, internal video recording, and proof-oriented output.
* Community pack browsing for map-specific `.akr` setup packs.
* Contributor workflows for feature policy, testing, verification, and public architecture.
