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.

For those on MacOS, you can use a free tool called OpenMTP to do any type of file transfer from your MacOS to Xreal Beam. Supports multiple transfer of APK files.
