Helium is a macOS application that provides a floating browser window that stays on top of other windows, letting users watch media or browse the web while working. It supports a translucent mode that passes mouse clicks through to underlying windows.

Use cases

  • watch videos in a floating window while working
  • keep a web page always on top of other apps
  • browse documentation without switching windows
  • use a translucent browser overlay that lets clicks pass through
  • picture-in-picture style web browsing on macOS

When to avoid

  • you need an actively maintained or updated browser
  • you are on Windows or Linux
  • you need full browser features like extensions or devtools
