HUD and input tools

Configure HUD widgets, input displays, timers, room stats, and custom labels.

Akron HUD tools display local state and review information. Each surface has a clear policy: Goldberry/Hardlist clear, Normal clear, or Cheat. Cheat surfaces expose precise resources or hidden information.

Configure HUD output

1. Check the visible status

   Read the row badge to learn how Akron classifies the display. Check the attempt-status chip for the strictest classification Akron has recorded during the current attempt.

2. Enable one surface at a time

   Turn on Visible in the Labels tab, then enable one display row. Open its popup to configure labels, colors, placement, or display limits.

3. Check suboptions

   Read any suboption policy badges. The Death Stats PB loss prompt and capture timer-freeze options carry a different policy from their parent rows.

4. Test in a room

   Close the overlay and confirm the widget appears where expected without covering gameplay-critical information.

Create a custom label

1. Open the Labels tab

   Open the Akron overlay, go to Labels, and enable Visible.

2. Add a row

   Choose + Custom. Akron creates a new custom label row, enables custom HUD labels, and selects the new row.

3. Open the row options

   Open the new custom label row to edit its name, text, placement, style, and event behavior.

4. Write the template

   Set Text to plain text plus variables in braces, such as Room {room_time} or {overlays} / {status}.

5. Place and test it

   Choose an anchor, tune the offset or absolute position, close the overlay, and verify the label is readable in a room. Custom labels render only while both Visible and the custom label are enabled.

See Custom labels for template variables, expressions, events, placement, and shareable label packs.

Input tools

Use Input History > Current inputs to see your current inputs as a text chord. Use Input History to review recent inputs after movement, death, or a routed attempt. Enable Control Display for a visual overlay of pressed keys or buttons. Check Inputs per second to monitor your press rate.

Input displays show local inputs without changing gameplay. Anything that synthesizes or redirects inputs sets the attempt status to Cheat.

Room stats and labels

The Room Stat Tracker shows room name, deaths, timer, berry count, and alive time in the label HUD. Its freeze behavior is a tracker suboption with its own policy badge - check it separately from the base label.

Use Custom labels when you want to build your own HUD text from Akron variables, event triggers, and label-specific styling.

Streamer Mode

Streamer Mode replaces local filesystem paths with filenames or final folder names in Akron-owned UI and proof output. In-game data remains visible.
