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!
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.
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.
