macOS utility
Tiny widgets that stay on top.
Pinlet keeps small, useful things visible while you work—without turning your desktop into a dashboard.
Four focused Pinlets
- Text — keep a short note, reminder, reference, or instruction in sight.
- Timer — run a countdown without losing it behind other windows.
- Stopwatch — track elapsed time at a glance.
- Date Countdown — keep an upcoming deadline or event visible.
Visible when you need it. Invisible to clicks when you don’t.
Move and resize Pinlets anywhere, adjust their appearance and opacity, then lock them to make them click-through so the app underneath remains fully usable.
Every Pinlet can still be controlled from the menu bar. Show or hide everything at once, unlock a click-through Pinlet, or bring Pinlets back on screen after display changes.
