Project overview
Pennywise opens web pages and media in a small always-on-top window that can be resized, repositioned, and made partially transparent. A detached mode lets pointer interactions pass through to the window underneath, which is useful for tutorials, dashboards, reference pages, or videos while working. Builds are available for macOS, Windows, and Linux, but the project is no longer maintained, so users should verify compatibility with current operating systems and websites before relying on it.
