A personal experience piece about discovering that Windows PowerToys' Always On Top feature supports pinning multiple apps simultaneously. The author shares how pinning Claude, ChatGPT, and other reference apps at once improved multitasking on a single screen. Additional tips covered include adjusting window transparency to see through pinned apps, customizing the border color to clearly identify pinned windows, and excluding specific apps like Excel from being pinned. One limitation noted is that clicks don't pass through to windows underneath a pinned app.
