Punaise
Keep an eye
on it.
Pin any part of any window. It floats above everything you do and stays live — even when the window it came from is buried three apps deep.
Pin
Draw a box around what matters.
One shortcut, one drag. A number you keep checking, a design spec, a log that scrolls — it becomes a small window that follows you instead of the other way around.
Live
Not a screenshot. The real thing, still moving.
The pin keeps updating while you work elsewhere. Cover the source window, send it to another Space, go full screen — the pin keeps showing what is happening right now.
Follow
It sticks to the window, not to the screen.
Move or resize the window you pinned and the pin follows the same region. When the source is gone for good, the pin says so instead of quietly showing you the wrong thing.
Private
Your screen stays your screen.
Punaise captures locally and sends nothing anywhere. Pins are for you — not for whoever is watching your share.
- Works offline
Capture and pins run on your Mac. Airplane mode, café Wi‑Fi, or a locked-down network — the pins keep working.
- Nothing leaves the device
Pin content never uploads. The punaise.app account exists only for purchase, license delivery, and download.
- Hidden from shares
Pins are excluded from screen recordings and screen sharing, so what you keep an eye on stays yours even while you present.
- No account to use it
Using Punaise on your Mac does not require signing in. An account is only for buying and downloading from the website.
Stop bouncing between two windows.
One-time purchase. One device. Free updates within the current major version.
