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)

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.
best app in the entire microsoft store
This app does exactly what I wanted and more. From the click-through interaction to the transparency to the ability to pin and shrink full screen displays and more ... Worth every penny to me.
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!!
Does what it says. I'm on the free version and it's still a good experience.
It was really helpful during the development.
It's really nice I like it a lot
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.
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
love the functionality! Does what I need for what I need done!
I really love the click through + opacity feature
some time it does not starts on sign in if all the setting is ok.
needs a repair to work
Works great, have not had any issues with it.
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 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! 🙂
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 😀
with a bit more feature
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.
really like the app
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.
I just needed an app to keep a window on top.
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.
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.
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.
Great app
The app I didn't know I needed! Enough said!
I rarely use apps from the store but this is pretty easy, yet super effective.
it work, i like it 🙂
can't imagine doing any dev work without it <3
Watch scenic videos behind my work.
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
Using always...
One part of my life
ive been posting videos on a gaming YouTube channel and this helps a lot with keeping my png-tuber on the screen
(amazing)
i use ts to keep my sb macro on top of my screen and it works perfectly
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.
I really like the anchors where moveable floating icons representing all the unminimized windows on the desktop appear on top of the desktop or upon any window or application even if maximized. You can easily jump to any of the windows or apps that are smartly represented by their floating icons. And if an icon just happens to get in your way, you simply move it with the mouse to the side or anywhere you like. AMAZING!
It's both. And that's all I have to say about it: worth the money.
I really like all the emojis and symbols.
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 don't have to hover over the taskbar anymore
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.
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.
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.
Very useful...can't live without in doing work on the Internet, etc.
