WindowTop
Always on Top, Opacity, Picture-in-Picture (PiP), Dark Mode, Anchors — the ultimate Windows productivity tool
Ultimate Window Manager for Windows Multitasking
WindowTop is a powerful Windows window manager and productivity tool that lets you keep any window always on top, create floating Picture-in-Picture (PiP) windows, adjust window opacity and transparency, and easily manage multiple windows with Anchors.
Whether you want to overlay transparent windows while working, watch videos while gaming, or reduce eye strain with Dark Mode, WindowTop gives you full control over your Windows desktop multitasking. Start using it for free and unlock advanced features with the Pro version!
Always on Top – Keep Windows Visible While You Work
Keep any window always on top of others and highlight it with a customizable colored border. Easily adjust frame color, thickness, and behavior from the Always on Top settings — perfect for multitasking, monitoring apps, or staying focused while working.
Picture-in-Picture (PiP) & Crop — Watch and Work with Any Window
Easily watch videos or monitor any window while working using Picture-in-Picture (PiP) mode. You can interact directly with PiP windows, keep them floating above your work, and even crop specific areas of the window to focus only on what matters.
Update: Since 5.29, we have added support in Crop to automatically detect crop regions (see the second tab)
Anchors – Instantly Access Windows with One Click
Need faster access to your windows? Anchors let you instantly bring windows to focus with a single click — faster than ALT+TAB and perfect for touchscreens. Instead of keeping windows always on top, use Anchors to quickly reopen minimized or background windows.
Anchors automatically avoid covering text or images by smartly repositioning themselves on your screen.
Opacity with Click-Through – Work Seamlessly Over Transparent
Enable click-through on transparent windows to interact directly with content behind them. Perfect for designers, artists, or anyone tracing, copying, or referencing elements on screen.
Adjust window transparency to see background content while working. Opacity Control lets you overlay windows, compare designs, write code, or follow tutorials without constantly switching windows.
Auto-Move for PiP – Stay Focused, Avoid Distractions
Picture-in-Picture mode includes an Auto-Move feature that intelligently repositions the window to avoid covering important text or images on your screen.
Dark Mode – Reduce Eye Strain at Night
Switch to Dark Mode and reduce screen brightness when working at night or in low-light environments. Apply dark theme even for apps or windows that don’t natively support it.
Note: Stable on Windows 11. May be unstable on Windows 10.
Glass Mode – Smart Transparency with Adjustable Blur
Glass Mode offers advanced transparency control, allowing you to separately adjust opacity for window backgrounds, text, and images. Customize the blur level for a modern, glass-like visual effect. Optimized for NVIDIA GPUs with CUDA acceleration.
Note that this may work slowly on 4K and will work better for NVIDIA GPUs (make use of CUDA feature)

can't imagine doing any dev work without it <3
This product does exactly what i wanted it to do with a simple and straight forward interface that does not clutter the standard windows interface - watch TV while im playing games 😀
Being able to put a window at the forefront of my screen makes it easier to handle multiple tasks, especially when I need to go back and forth a lot. It reduces the need for me to save up and buy a second monitor too.
Im so happy I gave yall a try. Its a great piece of software and I use it almost every session on the PC.
Great app
I can finally make everything easier on my eyes at night, it helps me get work done and it's so easy to use. Thank you!
I wanted an app that allowed me to control the opacity of any app. This does the job. Also, the "glass" version of some apps just perfect.
This app makes multitasking so much easier to do! Amazing
ive been posting videos on a gaming YouTube channel and this helps a lot with keeping my png-tuber on the screen
Works great, have not had any issues with it.
This has turned into a work essential for me, I needed this years ago.
I have a lot of small windows open with an animated background and love that I can have the opacity of my windows set so you can still see the windows and the beautiful background plus it gives my space a futuristic feel.
Great app. If you're looking for a modern versions of Always On Top and Peek Through, this app replaces both of them, and has better controls.
Works great for keeping the windows I need front and center.
I have been using this app for a few months, and it does exactly what I need. Pretty easy to use. Would love to have auto scrolling but it's ok as is.
I use it when I need a lot of browser tabs open to view at once.
It's really nice I like it a lot
Helps with managing windows for things like copying, viewing multiple things at once and saves so much frustration
it work, i like it 🙂
with a bit more feature
The Always-on-Top and the Opacity (window transparency) are features that I use. With multi-monitor setup, I was having to look over with each sound alert, missing some of the conversations or missing a important game play. Now, I just pop the chat window on to my gaming display and I'm able to interact even more with my viewers without blocking the game view. Thank you.
Window Top is an invaluable productivity booster.
Use this daily (mainly the transparency feature) to over lay critical and correlated windows associated with trading. Great for monitoring lots of data at once. Strongly recommend.
Super handy even with all my screens my desk gets messy helps keep little things like a calculator from getting lost in the pile of open windows
i use ts to keep my sb macro on top of my screen and it works perfectly
I don't have to hover over the taskbar anymore
It works
I'm not sure why most apps in 2025 don't have their own Stay-on-feature, but until they do, I'll be using WindowTop. It does exactly that and whole lot more. Solid product.
Does what it says. I'm on the free version and it's still a good experience.
This app is very helpful! It makes multitasking so much easier.
It's both. And that's all I have to say about it: worth the money.
Very helpful when copying/pasting to multiple windows
Whenever I'm designing anything, WindowTop makes it very easy to just put up a window of a reference right next to my work. Sometimes I want my notes app on my screen at all times and I know that I can just boot up WindowTop and it'll help me. It's very handy, the only thing I could possibly critique is that some of the keybinds somewhat clash with other keybinds when I play games, so my screen will suddenly go opaque out of nowhere, but either way I am a big fan
I discovered WindowTop several years ago after watching a friend on Discord effortlessly pin a video on top of their game screen. I immediately had to ask what software they were using, and it has been an everyday utility for me ever since.
WindowTop is an absolute lifesaver for anyone who lacks a second monitor but frequently needs to keep a video (like a tutorial or stream) or important information visible while running another application in fullscreen mode.
The core functionality—being able to "pin" any window so it floats above all other programs—is invaluable for maximizing screen real estate and multitasking efficiency.
While I can sometimes find the process of activating and positioning the window a little tedious or fiddly to get just right, the immense utility and convenience it provides far outweigh these minor drawbacks. If you game, work, or stream on a single display, WindowTop is an indispensable tool that I highly recommend.
Ok I do have 7 monitors but I am a "Swing market maker" 3-6mo plays on the stock market. Using TOS now, being able to detach option on various things making it transparent and disable on mouse over has really increased. Its like having think or swim layers that and you can do the same with websites like finviz, seeking alpha etc. This simple transparent until mouse over lets me watch charts while on the surface layer im interacting with im hunting for more stocks.
Nice app with good amount of customizability for a function that oughta be in modern operating systems by now.
really like the app
good
The fact that this isn't built in to everything is crazy. This app works amazing, keep finding new uses every day.
Very useful...can't live without in doing work on the Internet, etc.
It lets me use a transparent window to overlay brand logos onto Forza to replicate them.
This app has quickly turned into a necessity for my daily multitasking. Its especially useful for pinning the command terminal on top when I'm following various installation guides and Docs on GitHub etc. Thanks for such a cool free and brilliant app!
nice for streaming lowkey and helpful in general fr
This is an excellent lightweight productivity app. As a 3D artist i use it for view matching across a variety of different 3d design and rendering applications - it is always a joy to use - its flexible and unobtrusive. In fact its interface and performance impact is so optimized that i forget that i have it activated and usually just leave it on. Free version is perfectly functional but i want to reward developers when they make such a gem so i get the full version. Never change window top!!
I appreciated it thanks again... A++++ ** Thanks
I use this for some volunteer work to help assess maps for community outreach planning. It's really useful to be overlap to browsers each with a dynamic map.
