# Pipper

Just a webview in a window configured to be floating over other apps.


I sometimes like to have a window stay always visible on screen, so I did this.


If you have an ultrawide monitor I am sure you can understand!



    

        

    



## Use Cases

### MOTU AVB Mixer

Thanks to James Steele from the MOTUnation [Forum](https://www.motunation.com/forum/index.php) and [YouTube Channel](https://www.youtube.com/user/MOTUNATION) for showing how Pipper can be used with the MOTU AVB Mixer [in this video](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uZrAAGjKsAI).

### Audio Monitoring

While Pipper can't access your mac Microphone or Camera (for now at least), you can setup a local webserver to do so, and use pipper to display informations.

For an example of this see [this Python script](https://github.com/curzel-it/pipper/blob/main/docs/use-cases/audio-reporting/audio_reporting.py).
