OverAll

OverAll

OverAll is a lightweight macOS utility that allows you to pin any window—even those protected by DRM or system-level restrictions—directly to the top of your screen. Unlike TopIt, which captures and streams window content to a floating proxy panel, OverAll modifies the window's level within the system, leaving rendering to macOS itself. This approach results in virtually zero CPU/GPU usage.

Security Warning

OverAll utilizes private macOS APIs and requires disabling critical security features:

  • SIP (System Integrity Protection)
  • AMFI (Apple Mobile File Integrity)

Disabling these protections significantly reduces your Mac's security. Proceed at your own risk.

Disabling SIP & AMFI

If you still wish to proceed:

  1. Boot into Recovery Mode: Hold Command (⌘) + R during startup

  2. Open Terminal and execute:

    csrutil disable  # Disables SIP
    nvram boot-args="amfi_get_out_of_my_way=0x1"  # Disables AMFI
  3. Reboot your Mac.

Features

  • System-Level Pinning Pin any window, including those protected from screen capture.
  • Minimal Resource Usage Virtually zero CPU/GPU overhead.
  • Native Integration Leverages macOS's window management for seamless operation.

Limitations

  • Security Requirements Necessitates disabling SIP and AMFI.
  • Potential Instability Use of private APIs may lead to unexpected behavior.
