What is Pocket Screen?

Pocket Screen is a lightweight macOS menu bar utility that turns supported app windows into small, always-on-top picture-in-picture reference views.

Keep a browser, document, video, dashboard, chat window, or other supported app visible while working elsewhere. You can create up to two PiP windows, move and resize them, adjust transparency, use click-through, freeze or resume the view, and quickly switch the source window.

Pocket Screen is useful for referencing documents, following tutorials, monitoring information, and keeping notes or prompts close to your work without constantly switching windows.

For privacy during presentations and remote meetings, Pocket Screen can hide its PiP windows from screenshots, screen recordings, and screen sharing while keeping them visible on your own display.

Pocket Screen uses macOS ScreenCaptureKit to create the live preview. Captured window content is processed locally on your Mac and is not uploaded to external servers. Screen Recording permission is required.
