Description

Pocket Screen – Window PiP: Keep the information you need visible without giving up your workspace.

Pocket Screen turns any Mac window into a compact live PiP reference view. Keep tutorials, documents, videos, dashboards, web pages, and other apps in sight while you continue working in your main window.

More than an always-on-top window, Pocket Screen is designed for reference work. Keep multiple views together, focus on only the part you need, freeze important information, and reduce constant window switching — especially when working on a single display.

KEY FEATURES

• UP TO 4 REFERENCE VIEWS
Keep multiple windows visible at the same time. Unlimited supports up to four independent PiPs, while the free version supports up to two.

• MULTIPLE VIEWS FROM THE SAME WINDOW
Freeze one view, change a browser tab or window state, then add another Reference View from the same source.

• SELECT FOCUS AREA
Show only the part of a window you need. Make important details easier to follow without keeping the entire source window visible.

• ARRANGE REFERENCE VIEWS
New PiPs are placed in a practical Reference Rail. Move them freely whenever you want, then use Arrange Reference Views to restore a clean layout.

• MOVE AND RESIZE FREELY
Place each PiP where it works best and resize it to fit your workflow.

• FREEZE
Keep the current content visible while you continue working in the source app.

• CLICK THROUGH
Keep a PiP visible while interacting with windows underneath it.

• OPACITY CONTROL
Make a reference lighter when you want it visible without distracting from your main work.

• FLEXIBLE UPDATE QUALITY
Choose Energy Saver, Standard, Smooth, or Ultra. Unlimited users can select Ultra with up to 4K / 60 fps on supported Macs.

• EXCLUDE PiP FROM SCREEN CAPTURE
On supported macOS versions, keep Pocket Screen out of screenshots, screen recordings, and screen sharing.

• KEYBOARD SHORTCUTS
Start or switch a PiP, add another one, close the selected PiP, or temporarily hide all PiPs without interrupting your workflow.

• OPEN AT LOGIN
Keep Pocket Screen ready whenever you start your Mac.
