What AutoPiP does for you

Automatically in view

Your playing video stays visible when switching tabs or scrolling to the comments.

Choose where it works

Use an allowlist or blocklist to choose which websites AutoPiP works on.

A keyboard shortcut, too

Activate Picture-in-Picture manually when needed. The shortcut is configurable.

Get started

  1. Install AutoPiP from the latest GitHub release and open it once.
  2. Enable AutoPiP in Safari under Settings → Extensions.
  3. Play a video and switch to another tab.

If macOS initially blocks the app, follow the current installation notes in the README.
