Keep any Mac window visible in a floating mini screen
Pocket Screen turns the frontmost window on your Mac into a compact, always-on-top PiP-style view. Keep documents, chats, videos, or reference material visible while you work in another app—without constantly switching windows. Processing stays on your Mac.
Hi Product Hunt! 👋
I’m Masaki, an indie developer behind Toybird Labs.
I built Pocket Screen because I often work on a single Mac display and kept losing focus while switching between a document, browser, chat, and the app I was actually working in.
Pocket Screen turns the current frontmost window into a compact, always-on-top PiP-style window. You can keep a document beside your writing, watch a tutorial while following along, monitor chat, or reference a dashboard without constantly changing windows.
It is controlled from the menu bar or a global shortcut, and the floating window can be moved, resized, adjusted for opacity, or made click-through. Captured content is displayed locally and is not uploaded.
The app is free to try with 10-minute sessions, with a one-time in-app purchase for unlimited use.
I’d love to hear how you use it and what would make it more useful in your daily workflow.
Thanks for checking it out!
