Shortcuts

Here is the list of available shortcuts that you may use

Note – Changing the opacity is only supported in Windows and MacOS

Detached Mode

Enabling the detached mode makes Pennywise non-interactive – it will let any interactions fall through to the window below it. To remove the detached mode, focus the window either by clicking the dock icon or by activating it using alt + tab

Screenshots

Homescreen for the application

Anything running in pennywise stays on top of everything

You can change the opacity too

Auto-embed Videos

For some video streaming websites such as Youtube, Vimeo, Twitch, Daily Motion etc, Pennywise shows you the video only web page by default (using the auto-generated embed links), showing you the video in a distract free manner. You can disable that by toggling the Edit > Embed Videos.

Note – In case of youtube, it might not work sometime when the user has put restrictions on the video – in that case, you will have to disable "Auto Embed" option from the Edit menu to make them work.

Why is it named Pennywise?

Because the application helps in floating and Pennywise loved to do that
