About Us
Powering Epic Streams Since 2011
Nerd or Die started as a way to learn streaming the hard way. We tested, broke, fixed, and shared everything we discovered along the way. What began as tutorials and experiments like free streamer panels grew into a library of tools built for streamers who want their setup to look better and run smoother without spending hours troubleshooting.
Today, we design overlays, alerts, widgets, and templates for creators streaming on Twitch, YouTube, and Kick. Everything we release comes from real use, real feedback, and a lot of attention to detail.
What does 'Nerd Or Die' mean to us?
Nerd or Die is a mindset. It is about caring deeply about what you make, learning how things work, and pushing your craft further every time you go live.
We started Nerd or Die as streamers trying to improve our own setups. Nothing fancy, just a lot of trial and error. Over time, that curiosity turned into tools built for real creators. Tools that solve problems, save time, and help streams feel more intentional.
For us, Nerd or Die means showing up, paying attention to the details, and always looking for a better way to do things. It is about building things we would actually use ourselves.
Why Choose Nerd or Die?
Because we build for the real world of streaming.
Every overlay, alert, widget, and template is designed with performance and usability in mind. We focus on clean installs, reliable behavior, and layouts that make sense the moment you drop them into your scene.
We use our own tools, test them live, and refine them based on real feedback from the community. If something feels confusing, clunky, or unnecessary, it gets reworked. Our goal is to help streamers level up their production value without turning their setup into a full time job.
We support Twitch, YouTube, Kick, and beyond because creators move fast and platforms change. We make sure our tools keep up.

The Nerd or Die Team
Behind the scenes, Nerd or Die is a very small team of 3. We collaborate closely, move quickly, and stay hands on with everything we release.
There are no layers of approval or corporate distance. Ideas get tested, improved, and shipped by the same people who thought them up. That keeps us honest and keeps our tools focused on what creators actually need.
We are still streamers at heart. Still learning, still iterating, and still excited about making the next stream better than the last.
