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.
Opacity Control – See Through Windows While You Work
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)

VeryGood
some time it does not starts on sign in if all the setting is ok.
needs a repair to work
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.
it never glitch or lagged anything, it works perfectly, and it looks pretty<3
I use this app everyday to play movies, tv, or youtube in a small PIP box that always remains on top while I work. its goated
it work, i like it 🙂
I just needed an app to keep a window on top.
Simple, reliable, stable. I've definitely put this thing through its paces with multiple layered transparent click-through windows and the resource overhead above and beyond the windows themselves was trivial. The featureset is small, focused, and very configurable for a variety of use cases.
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.
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.
The search is over for an app that handles every application theme I need it to for a dark conversion. I do lots of night work and this app let me make all these IDEs I work with dark themed! 🙂
I really love the click through + opacity feature
Using always...
One part of my life
(amazing)
Very helpful when copying/pasting to multiple windows
It lets me use a transparent window to overlay brand logos onto Forza to replicate them.
I use it when I need a lot of browser tabs open to view at once.
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.
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!!
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
The process of having the window anchored in place is what the system needs most people do not know how useful it is
I rarely use apps from the store but this is pretty easy, yet super effective.
very easy to use, gives detailed descriptions on what does what, super easy to disable or enable functions you might or might not need, and lots of functions that i didnt expect to come bundled with the app when just looking for something to keep windows on top
Works great, have not had any issues with it.
ive been posting videos on a gaming YouTube channel and this helps a lot with keeping my png-tuber on the screen
nice for streaming lowkey and helpful in general fr
This app makes multitasking so much easier to do! Amazing
So it must be. Actually for many years I was trying to find this sort of technology. There used to be 1 called the double vision and it faded out, it's kind of hard to describe what this thing does until you experience it. It's incredible and I'm shocked that it's not more popular.
The fact that this isn't built in to everything is crazy. This app works amazing, keep finding new uses every day.
It works
with a bit more feature
It was really helpful during the development.
Works great for keeping the windows I need front and center.
I appreciated it thanks again... A++++ ** Thanks
i use ts to keep my sb macro on top of my screen and it works perfectly
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.
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.
This app will allow you to keep any window you want on top of other windows. I use it to keep notepad or sticky notes on top when they contain a code snippet or credentials I need to accomplish a task and I want it to stay on top of a window that I need maximized. Try it out.
Would recommend to students.
Great app
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.
Helps with managing windows for things like copying, viewing multiple things at once and saves so much frustration
good
Very useful...can't live without in doing work on the Internet, etc.
Nice app with good amount of customizability for a function that oughta be in modern operating systems by now.
