Anchor
- macOS
Pin a live, real-time region of any window as a floating always-on-top overlay that continuously updates
Anchor lets you select any rectangle on screen and pin it as a floating, always-on-top panel that mirrors the source content in real time — not a screenshot, a live feed. Press Cmd+Shift+A to enter selection mode, drag a rectangle, and the region becomes a floating overlay updating at 10-15 FPS via CGWindowListCreateImage. Create multiple anchors simultaneously, resize them, adjust opacity, and optionally lock them to a specific window so they follow it when moved. Perfect for monitoring dashboards, chat windows, or reference material while working.
