I have an app on the App Store. It's called Inset, a Mac utility I've wanted for a really long time. It lets you create a resizable floating live preview of any screen or app window region. You can place it anywhere on your screen to keep an eye on an export progress, an AFK game, a video call, whatever, even if you have other apps covering it.

Oh, and it comes with a companion iOS app so you can carry your live previews with you.

Yes, I used AI to make this, specifically Codex.

Yes, I've already used this to keep track of a video export while on the toilet. Whole new level of doom scrolling.

There's a v1.1 update coming soon with some nifty features too.

The app collects no user data, there are no user accounts to create, and the iOS/iPadOS app connection happens over your local network (using Bonjour) so there's no cloud data transfer involved. https://apps.apple.com/us/app/inset-preview-any-screen-area/id6759235673
