Hi Product Hunt 🤗 I'm happy to share a small macOS app I developed for my own use case to effortlessly picture-in-picture any application window to keep an eye on while multitasking. I got feedback that this might be useful for others as well that's why I decided to make the app available for anybody. Picture-in-picture all the things! ✌️

Got to say this is pretty cool. Just thinking if it's possible to adjust the opacity of the PIP window? And maybe the radius of the window corners?
André Ruffert
Thank you so much for your feedback @cheeaun! Definitely something I'll consider implementing 😊

Why is it asking permission to record my screen and audio? ?makers
André Ruffert
@alexlizogub PiPHero needs "Screen Recording" access to be able to mirror the app window/screen in a picture-in-picture window. There is absolutely no tracking and the app does not connect to the internet.

@andreruffert but why ask for audio?

Super interesting concept. Simple but powerful. It's not doing a good job with apps that are currently in Stage Manager, but it's great as is.

@andreruffert Hi, I must do something wrong: I've installed it, but it doesn't show up in the top bar. I've installed the Silicon Mac-version. I'm on a MacBook Pro M2Pro running Ventura.

@erikotn I'm sorry that you are facing some issues... Have you tried restarting your machine?

Congrats on the launch! I never thought I needed PiP on Mac, but you made me realize how useful it is :)
