The swear jar overlay setup for OBS
A swear jar is funny because it has a price. Money display multiplies the count by your rate and puts a currency symbol on it, so chat sees the damage rather than the tally.
Start freeTry it in a browser — FreeHow do you put a swear jar on stream?
Add a Kloot counter from the Swear Jar template and turn on money display with your rate — $1 a slip, say. The overlay then reads $47 rather than 47. Money display is Pro; the plain tally works on any plan.
Your whole setup, live — every tool fires from one deck. Manual, nothing auto-cycles.
Press +1 — this is the Free counter
The real counter renderer on a game frame. One counter, bumped from your deck or your phone, on the Free plan.

Frequently asked
Does it collect the money?
No. It is a display you set the rate for. Any donation link you add stays in your panel, never on stream.
Can I use it for a charity total?
Yes — same mechanic, different label. “$1 per death” for a charity run reads exactly the same way.
Which plan?
Money display is Pro, $25/mo. A plain swear-jar tally runs on the free plan.
