When working with two applications on the same screen, macOS offers us the Split View function, a function that allows us to open two applications together on our Mac screen, allowing us to change the size of each one of them. very simple way. This function It is ideal for large screens, but on a laptop things change.
If we use the Split View function on a MacBook, the size of both applications is considerably reduced so the interaction that we can make of both is considerably reduced. In these cases, the best option to keep our eyes off is to use an application that creates a transparent frame from an image or a PDF file that we need to have as a guide.
Overlay allows us to create an image or PDF file in a frame with the level of transparency that we always select in a floating window above all the applications that we have open on the desktop where the application is open. Thus we can easily copy the content of one document, compare it with another, use it as a guide in a very comfortable way. In addition, we can lock the frame so that hovering over it is not affected.
Overlay shows us an image or document in PDF format on the screen as if it were a sticker on the screen. This functionality is very useful for artists, designers, writers and students who have to document their work, designs ... Overlay has a regular price in the Mac App Store of 9,99 euros, it was last updated in February of this year adding full compatibility with macOS High Sierra so it will not show us any type of incompatibility.
