Product context
What Pocket Screen says it does
Official or maker-supplied product information. It is kept separate from buyer evidence and independent purchase verification.
Pocket Screen is a lightweight macOS utility that keeps up to two app windows visible as compact, always-on-top live reference views while you work in another app.
It is useful when you want to keep notes, documents, web pages, dashboards, chat, timers, supported video windows, or other reference content visible without constantly switching windows.
You can switch the selected reference to the current frontmost window with a keyboard shortcut, move and resize each view independently, adjust opacity, freeze the current frame, and enable Click-Through so mouse actions pass to the app underneath.
Pocket Screen is designed for people who want a simple reference workflow rather than a full window-management system. It works especially well for research, writing, remote meetings, coding, presentations, and other tasks where keeping secondary information visible helps you stay focused.
Everything runs locally on your Mac.
