Always On Top

Have you ever been in a spot where you needed to keep an eye on something but it kept getting hidden behind other windows? Let’s say a website you’re monitoring for updates or a file you’re working on. You always have to switch between windows to keep an eye on it.

Wouldn’t it be nice if you could just pin it to the top of your screen and keep it a corner of your screen?

I recently stumbled upon this app called Always On Top which is a simple app that allows you to make anything (URLs, files, camera, etc.) always stay on top of your screen.

This instantly opens up a lot of possibilities.

• You can pin a website to the top of your screen and keep an eye on it.
• You can pin a file to the top of your screen and compare it with other files.
• You can pin a camera to the top of your screen when you’re recording a screencast.
• You can even add animated pets (Cats, Pandas, Tabbys, etc.) to your screen which I think is really cute!

It also comes with adding pinned scratchpads which can be used to keep notes, to-dos, and more.

Here’s what it looks like:

As for the customizations, it lets change the opacity of the windows, make them frameless, and remove the controls to make them almost look like “ghost windows”.

Although it’s a paid app, the value proposition it provides is hard to beat considering the fact that it can be used for a lot of different purposes. Also, it’s a one-time purchase and doesn’t require an active subscription. The updates are also free which is a big plus.

So, if you’re looking for a simple and effective way to keep anything always on top of your screen, Always On Top is a must-have.
