Fenêtre review
A focused Mac utility for keeping reference content visible while you work.
Reviewed by iTechGuides Editors · Editorial team · Updated Oct 2026
Fenêtre is a macOS picture-in-picture utility for keeping videos, websites, images, documents and other supported content visible above other applications. It suits solo users and small teams who want to follow tutorials, monitor content or reference documentation while working. Its browser extension can open browser content in Fenêtre, while Markdown preview and code highlighting support technical reference material. The product is narrower than a general window management suite, focusing on floating content and visibility controls.
The plan structure is straightforward. The Free plan includes one window, the browser extension, Markdown preview, code highlighting, a mute window option and local file access. Pro adds unlimited windows, click-through and see-through modes, opacity control, clipboard access, quick search and customizable hotkeys. The published plans make the main upgrade path clear: users move to Pro when one floating window is not enough or when they need more control over how content behaves above other applications.
Fenêtre is a good fit for Mac users who want a lightweight way to keep reference content visible without adopting a broader window management workflow. Its standout capabilities include always-on-top display, picture-in-picture windows, click-through mode, see-through mode and opacity control. Users who need multiple floating windows, clipboard access, quick search or customizable hotkeys should choose Pro. Those seeking cross-platform support or comprehensive desktop window organization should consider a broader alternative instead.
