A live donation goal bar for OBS

A goal gives viewers a concrete reason to support you: a new microphone, a charity stream, a trip to a convention. The progress bar moves with every tip, live, and the whole community sees it contributes to something. With DonoLink, the goal is a free overlay that updates itself.

Why a goal motivates viewers

A single tip is nice; a tip that moves a shared project forward creates a collective moment. As the bar nears 100%, chat gets excited and the last pounds often come in faster. A clear, realistic goal works better than a huge number that never moves.

How the goal is calculated

Progress counts paid tips since the start date you choose. To start a new goal, change the title, amount and date: the bar resets without erasing your history. TikTok gifts and Bits do not count, because they are not tips in pounds.

Choosing a good goal

A few simple tips:

A concrete title: "New microphone" rather than "Support".
An amount you can reach in a few weeks.
A visible update when the goal is reached, to say thanks.
One goal at a time so tips are not spread thin.

Install the overlay

Add the goal from the Overlays tab: drag the source onto your OBS scene, or use the "Add everything to OBS" wizard. The size is preset for a sharp result; then move and resize it like any other source.

Frequently asked questions

Does the goal update live?

Yes. Every paid tip moves the bar within seconds, without reloading the source.

Can I restart a goal?

Yes. Change the start date: only tips since that date count. Your history stays intact.
