Pinnie

The Cute & Powerful "Always On Top" Utility for Windows

What is Pinnie?

Pinnie is more than just a tool to keep windows on top. It adds a touch of personality to your workflow! Pin any window with a simple hotkey, and watch as a cute animated pet (like a Capybara!) perches on top of it.

Whether you're a developer needing reference docs visible, or just want a cute companion while you work, Pinnie makes window management fun and effortless.
