Is there a picture-in-picture equivalent for apps?

Keep a window "on top" M1 Mac.
Hi! Apart from Afloat (which is not updated for a while now) there's an app called Rectangle. Although it doesn't keep windows on top of other windows - it's a great tool to organize or "snap" your apps through keyboard shortcuts.

Show HN: NotesOllama – I added local LLM support to Apple Notes (through Ollama)
Another option for hacking something like this together could be HammerSpoon. I’ve spent some time with it, but haven’t tried integrating with Apple Notes, I mostly did stuff at the file system level to keep it easy.

getting current desktop to show on lockscreen? (MacOS Ventura)
Assuming no one has a cut-and-dried solution that just works, would something like this be possible with say, AppleScript or another scripting tool like Hammerspoon? I've not used either of these tools before, but would be open to seeking out a scripting solution on my own if it's viable. Or am I going to run into insurmountable security restrictions?
