Glaso

The tiny window that stays on top.

Glaso is a floating browser, video player, notes pad, and book reader for your Mac — always visible above your full-screen IDE, never in your way.

Coming soon to the Mac App Store

For macOS 13+ · English & 简体中文 · Summon it from any app with ⌥ F

One small window, four tools

Keep a lecture, some docs, a video, your notes, or a book floating over your work — without juggling windows or losing your place.

Always on top

Floats above full-screen apps and every Space. Summon or hide it from anywhere with ⌥ F, and it follows you to the display you're using.

A real browser

Tabs, favorites folders, find-in-page, zoom, per-tab mute and auto-refresh — in a window exactly the size you want.

Video that resumes

YouTube, Bilibili, Twitch, or local files. Glaso remembers where you stopped and keeps the display awake while media plays.

Floating notes

Autosaving notes with formatting, bullets, and pasted images. Search even finds text inside screenshots, using on-device OCR.

Book ReaderPRO

Import PDF, EPUB, TXT, Markdown, RTF, or HTML. Bookmarks, page memory, flip or scroll mode — your reading floats over your work.

Click-through mode

Flip on ⌥ ⇧ C and clicks pass straight through Glaso to the code underneath, while it stays perfectly visible.

Workspace presets

Five slots for window size, position, tabs, and mode. Recall any layout instantly with ⌥ 1–⌥ 5.

Yours to tune

Opacity slider, clean mode, light/dark themes, and customizable global hotkeys that work from inside any app.

How Glaso fits into a working screen.

Summon it from anywhere

One tap and Glaso appears above whatever you're doing — full-screen IDE included. Tap again and it's gone. It always lands on the display you're actually working on.

Click through it like it's not there

Turn on click-through and your clicks land in the app underneath while Glaso stays visible on top. Type against documentation, follow a lecture, keep the reference in sight.

Video that waits for you

Follow a course on YouTube or Bilibili while you code. Glaso remembers your position across tabs and relaunches, and keeps the display awake while media plays.

Notes that read your screenshots

Paste screenshots straight into a note. On-device OCR indexes the text inside them, so a later search finds that slide — even though the words only exist in an image.
