LightScreen vs Pocket Screen
Facts from each product's IndieNeed listing, side by side.
LightScreen is a free, no-signup browser tool that turns your screen into a fullscreen fill light or ring light for video calls, streaming, selfies and makeup. It also offers solid white and colour screens for screen testing and cleaning. Pick a colour and brightness, go fullscreen, done - nothing to install.
Pocket Screen creates a separate, resizable live view of a supported Mac app window. Keep PDFs, webpages, and dashboards visible while working, with the original window left in place. Resize or move the floating view, enable click-through, or pause it. Window content stays on your Mac. Works on macOS 14+ with Apple silicon and Intel.
