Pin a screenshot on top on Mac
Keep a capture floating above every window while you work — a reference to copy, numbers to retype, a layout to match. macOS can't do it on its own; macshot can.

After you capture, pin the screenshot and it becomes a small floating window that stays on top of everything else. Move it wherever it's handy and keep working in your other apps — the pinned image stays put and stays visible.
Pinning is one of the actions available after any capture, alongside copy, save, annotate, and upload. So you can mark up a screenshot first and then pin the annotated version — or pin it straight away and get on with your work.
