Pocket Screen

Pocket Screen helps you work with reference material on a single Mac display. Keep a PDF beside your writing, a tutorial beside your editor, or a dashboard in view while you continue your main task. It creates independent live Picture-in-Picture reference views of supported Mac windows, leaving the originals available.

Focus on a useful area, move and resize the view, freeze important content, or use Click Through. To keep content from different tabs of one browser window, freeze a reference before changing the tab and adding another view. Frozen views retain a snapshot; they do not update hidden browser tabs independently. Customizable keyboard shortcuts, arrangement and opacity controls help the views fit the way you work.

The free app supports up to two views and 10 minutes of PiP use per app launch. Unlimited removes the time limit, supports up to four views and adds Ultra quality, up to 4K/60 fps on supported Macs. Choose a one-time purchase or a monthly subscription. No account is required, and captured window content stays on your Mac. Requires macOS 14 or later.
