FAQ
PinPoint is an always-on-top Windows utility from Automata Labs. It is designed to keep reference material—browser, PDF, notes, tickets—pinned above your working window with a zero-latency feel, without turning your machine into a tiling window manager essay. One-time purchase on the Microsoft Store, local-first, no telemetry. If your problem is “I keep losing the thing I need beside my work,” this is the category: a real always-on-top workflow, not another tab you will bury.
No. The point is the opposite: keep a small set of reference pixels where your eyes expect them, without turning your editor or browser into a compromise layout every time Windows snap forgets what you meant.
Browsers do great PiP for video. PinPoint is for the rest of your work: docs, internal tools, PDFs, tiny chat windows, scratch buffers—things that are not always a video rectangle with a codec contract.
More screens help until they do not. PinPoint still wins when you are on one display, on the road, or when the “second monitor” is a policy dream, not a desk reality.
PinPoint is a lightweight, zero-latency always-on-top utility for Windows: put documentation, a browser, or a viewer beside your work and keep it there while you work.
