PinIt

A minimal, distraction-free "Always on Top" utility for Windows built with Tauri v2.

Why PinIt?

As a developer moving between Linux and Windows, I always missed the native ability to keep any window on top. While Linux desktop environments often have this built-in, Windows options were limited.

The most common solution, Microsoft PowerToys, comes bundled with dozens of other utilities I didn't need. I wanted a lightweight, singular purpose tool that does one thing and does it well—without the bloat. PinIt was born from the desire for a clean, simple, and resource-efficient alternative that feels like a native part of the system.
