A build. A render. An export.
Start it, park the window in a corner, go and do something else. Perch tells you the second it finishes instead of you checking every two minutes.
macOS · one-time purchase
Perch floats any window or web page above your work — and tells you the moment the part you care about changes.

What it watches
Start it, park the window in a corner, go and do something else. Perch tells you the second it finishes instead of you checking every two minutes.
Tickets, a support queue, a deploy dashboard, a restock. Watch a web page without renting a cloud service by the month.
Native apps, terminals, virtual machines, remote sessions. If your Mac can draw it, Perch can watch it. No cloud, no scraping, no account.
Two ways in
Pick any open window — including ones on other Spaces — and it floats above whatever you’re doing, live, at a frame rate that drops to nothing when the picture is still.
Any appPaste a link and Perch hosts it itself. Fully interactive, plays in fullscreen and on every Space, and asks for no permissions whatsoever.
No permissionsGhost mode lets clicks fall straight through. Snap to edges, fill the screen, or hide every PiP at once before you share your screen.
Before you buy
macOS stops drawing a window once it moves to another Space, and nothing can capture what an app isn’t drawing. A mirrored window keeps updating while it’s on your current Space — even fully covered — but freezes if you swipe away from it.
Chromium apps like Chrome can be relaunched with mirroring enabled, and Perch does that in one click. Floated pages have no such limit at all.
Pricing
Questions
No. One payment. Updates through 1.x are free.
Never. Your licence is verified on your Mac, so Perch works on a plane and keeps working whatever happens to this website.
Only to mirror windows — that’s macOS asking, not us. Floating a web page needs no permission at all.
Apple Silicon for now. Email me if you need Intel and I’ll build it.
Ask and you’ll get one. The 7-day trial exists so you don’t have to.
