Common Issues
Window doesn't stay on top
Some applications (like full-screen games) may override the always-on-top behavior. Try using windowed mode or check if the application has its own always-on-top setting.
Menu bar icon missing
Check if TopWindow is running in Activity Monitor. If not, launch it from Applications. The icon may be hidden in the menu bar overflow area on smaller screens.
App crashes on launch
Ensure you're running macOS 13.0 or later. Try restarting your Mac and launching TopWindow again. If issues persist, contact support.
