## What it is
WindowTop is a Windows desktop utility that lets users set any window always-on-top, make it transparent or dark, and use picture-in-picture mode. It also provides 'Anchors', an Alt-Tab alternative for fast window switching.

## Use cases
- keep a window always on top of others
- make any window dark mode
- make a window transparent
- watch video in picture-in-picture from any app
- switch between windows faster than alt-tab
- drag files between windows using floating anchors

## When to choose
- you need always-on-top, transparency, or dark mode for arbitrary Windows apps
- you want a lightweight window management tool with hotkeys
- you want an Alt-Tab replacement with floating anchors

## When to avoid
- you are on macOS or Linux
- you need window tiling or layout managers rather than overlay features
- you require an open-source license for commercial use
