Learn how to keep your app window always on top on MacOS with this step-by-step guide. We’ll show you a workaround to implement the “Always on Top” feature on Mac OS, which is not natively available. By following these instructions, you can ensure that your app windows stay in view at all times.
The Step-by-Step Guide
Although Mac OS doesn’t have a built-in “Always on Top” feature, there are workarounds available. Here’s how you can achieve the same functionality:
- Download the latest version of mySIMBL and extract the files.
- If you encounter any installation issues, disable System Integrity Protection by booting into recovery mode and using the Terminal to enter the command “csrutil disable”.
- Move the SIMBL application to your Applications folder.
- Download the Afloat collection from Github and extract the “Afloat.bundle” file.
- Drag and drop the “Afloat.bundle” file into the mySIMBL window.
- Restart your Mac.
- Open the Afloat app, navigate to window options, and enable the “Keep Afloat” option for the desired apps.
- Some apps might require you to re-enable System Integrity Protection by entering the command “csrutil enable” in the recovery mode terminal before restarting your Mac again.
Note that the “Keep Afloat” option will only work with apps compatible with SIMBL. Certain apps like Firefox may not be supported. It’s recommended to keep both the OS and SIMBL updated for the best results.
