Thank you to everyone who supported the Pocket Screen launch and shared thoughtful comments and feature requests.

The feedback I received on Product Hunt was especially valuable. Based on those suggestions, I’ve released Pocket Screen v1.4.0 today.

This update adds:

  • Support for displaying up to two floating screens at the same time

  • A keyboard shortcut to quickly switch a selected floating screen to the currently active window

  • Improved window position restoration and behavior across multiple displays

Thank you again for taking the time to share your ideas. Your feedback helped shape this update.

Pocket Screen v1.4.0 is now available on the Mac App Store:

I’d be glad to hear how you use Pocket Screen and what you think could be improved next.

@Masaki Iino that makes sense, most-recently-brought-forward is the intuitive behavior and matches what I'd expect from regular window management. good to know there's no hidden priority baked in, that would've been the confusing part.

 Glad that behavior matches your expectations. Thanks again for raising the question, Omri!

two floating screens at once is the update I'd actually use - one for a reference doc, one for a call. with both up and always-on-top, how do they behave when you alt-tab between other full windows underneath - do the two floaters ever fight each other for stacking order, or is there a fixed priority between them?

 Thanks, Omri — a reference doc plus a call is exactly the kind of setup this update is intended for.

Both floating screens use the same always-on-top level, so Command-Tabbing between the windows underneath does not cause them to fight or repeatedly change order. There is no permanent priority assigned to the first or second floater. If they overlap, whichever floater was most recently brought forward sits above the other, while both remain above the regular app windows.
