ShyWindow keeps documentation, tutorials, and videos always in sight — but perfectly out of your cursor's way.

The problem

Every PiP window blocks your workspace.

You drag. You resize. You lose focus. The tool that was supposed to help you starts getting in the way.

The solution

ShyWindow moves itself.

The moment your cursor gets close, it slides out of the way — nearest or farthest corner, your choice. Zero friction. No interruption. Just your work — and the reference you need, always visible.

Five modes.
One menu bar app.

Each mode is designed for a different way of working.

Shy Mode

Dodges your cursor.
Automatically.

Nearest corner or farthest — your choice. Works on all edges of your screen. No setup, no drag, no resize.

PiP Mode

One click.
Just the video.

YouTube, Twitch, X, LinkedIn. The browser chrome strips away — just the video, at S, M, or L size. YouTube Closed Captions built in.

Shorts & TikTok

Phone-sized.
Portrait. In the corner.

Auto-Next Shorts/TikTok keeps the feed rolling. Up/Down navigate when ShyWindow is the active app and PiP is on a Shorts or TikTok URL. No browser tab required — ever.
