A cross-platform floating window application that keeps websites and media always on top for seamless multitasking.
Pennywise is a cross-platform desktop application that opens websites and media in a floating window that stays on top of all other applications. It solves the problem of constant alt-tabbing by keeping reference materials, videos, or dashboards visible while you work on other tasks, enhancing multitasking efficiency.
Developers, students, and professionals who need to keep tutorials, documentation, videos, or monitoring tools visible while working in other applications.
Developers choose Pennywise for its simplicity, low resource usage, and powerful always-on-top functionality that works across macOS, Windows, and Linux. Unlike browser tabs or separate windows, it provides persistent, customizable floating windows with adjustable opacity for distraction-free multitasking.
