## What it is
Topit is a macOS utility that pins any application window to stay on top of your screen. It uses ScreenCapture Kit and accessibility APIs to capture and re-display windows above others.

## Use cases
- keep a video or reference window always visible while working
- pin a terminal or notes window on top of other apps
- float multiple windows above the workspace simultaneously
- keep a chat window visible during screen sharing

## When to choose
- you're on macOS 13+ and want a free, open-source always-on-top tool
- you need to pin windows from any application, not just one
- you prefer installing via Homebrew

## When to avoid
- you're on macOS 12 or earlier
- you're concerned about battery drain from pinning many windows
- you need window management features beyond pinning (tiling, snapping)
