About this app

Keep your reference always in view. Reference Pin floats images, PDFs, notes, and checklists on top of any app — move it, resize it, make it transparent, and keep working without switching apps.

WHY REFERENCE PIN?
Most floating-image apps are built for tracing. Reference Pin is built for working: a sticky note for your phone that stays on top while you sell, draw, code, or study in another app.

KEY FEATURES
• Always on top — images, PDFs, notes & checklists float over any app
• Move & resize freely — put the window exactly where you want it
• 4 transparency levels — see your reference and your work at the same time
• Tap-through mode — use the app underneath as usual; grab the handle to take control back
• Images — JPG, PNG & WebP, with pinch-to-zoom and correct EXIF rotation
• PDF — page turning and zoom (Pro)
• Save multiple pins & switch with one tap — position, size, and transparency are remembered
• Share → Pin — send anything from Android's share menu straight to a floating pin
• Available in 9 languages

MADE FOR
• Online sellers — product photos, size charts, and listing templates in view while you list
• Illustrators — pose references and color palettes right over your canvas
• Developers — UI designs, API specs, and requirement notes next to your code
• Students — questions, memorization sheets, and study material always visible
• Business — meeting notes, procedures, and checklists while you work

FREE & PRO
The free version includes up to 3 saved pins. Upgrade to Pro for unlimited pins and PDF support.

GOOD TO KNOW
• Requires Android 8.0 or later
• Uses the "Display over other apps" permission (you'll be asked on first launch)
• Overlay behavior may vary on some devices (e.g. Xiaomi, OPPO, vivo)

What’s new

A small fix-up release.
• Fixed a crash when adding an image or PDF pin — if a file can't be read, the app now says so instead of closing
• Importing a large image or PDF no longer freezes the screen while it copies
