About the startup

A small utility to solve a personal frustration. Like many of us, our workflow often involves cross-referencing notes, following tutorials, or keeping a specific chat/timer visible while working in other apps. You found myself constantly hunting through tabs or "Alt-Tabbing" back and forth, which was a huge distraction. You couldn't find a streamlined, modern tool that did exactly what you needed (especially one that stayed visible across all virtual desktops), so we decided to build this app. What it does: - Always on Top: Pins any window (browser, terminal, notes, etc.) to the foreground. - Lightweight: No heavy background processes; it’s designed to stay out of the way. - Sticky Windows: Your pinned window stays visible even when you switch between different desktops/spaces. - Native & Secure: It’s already notarized by Apple, so it runs smoothly and securely. No data being collected, its all saved on your device.
