Before you install
Is the Wikily overlay free?
Yes. The overlay is free to download and free to use. There is nothing to buy inside it.
I have Wikily Premium. Why do I still see ads in the overlay?
Because the overlay cannot sign you in yet. Account login is not built into the app so far, so it has no way to tell that your subscription is active. Premium will be supported in the overlay once sign-in ships, and ads will switch off there just like they do on the site. Nothing changes about your subscription in the meantime, and you are not paying twice.
How do I open the overlay in game?
Press Shift + F9 while ARK is running. You can change the hotkey in the app settings if it clashes with something else.
Which platforms does it support?
Windows PC only, for ARK: Survival Ascended. The overlay runs on Overwolf, which does not exist on console or mobile.
Is it allowed, and is it safe?
It runs on Overwolf, a platform built for in-game overlays that reads nothing from the game process beyond what its public API exposes. It does not modify game files.
How do I uninstall it?
Remove it from the Overwolf app list, the same way as any other Overwolf app. Nothing is left behind in your ARK install.
More players unlocks more of the game
ARK does not have Overwolf game events yet, so the overlay works out your position from the screen and you press M to sync it. Game events are granted to apps once they reach enough active players. If we get there, the app can read the game directly: live position tracking with no keypress, and the door open to other features that have to come from the game itself. Every install moves that closer.
Put the wiki inside the game
Free, no account, and it works on every map. Press Shift + F9 once ARK is running.
