BackDrop_
— Ghost Video Overlay
BackDrop_ lets you watch any local video as a transparent ghost overlay on your Windows desktop — floating above your apps at the opacity you choose, without stealing focus or taking up screen space. Made for people who have a backlog of tutorials, recordings, or videos they never get to watch because they're always working. BackDrop_ runs silently from the system tray, supports MP4, MKV, AVI, WebM and more, and keeps your files 100% offline — nothing ever leaves your PC. Free 7-day trial.

It's been years I've accumulated tera-bites of videos and media on my drives... Tried some of the available software on the market, but none of them satisfied me entirely. Feel the same way?!
Smoother than I expected, keep up the good work
とても素敵なアイデアですね✨ デモ動画を見て興味を持ちました。 背景にお気に入りの動画を表示しながら作業できる発想が面白いです🌿 個人的には、将来ピンクを基調としたテーマも追加されたら嬉しいです😊 応援しています！
Been using the 7-day trial for a bit now and it's honestly smoother than I expected. Installation took less than a minute and everything just worked. I'm currently designing with a playlist looping behind my workspace and it's surprisingly enjoyable. Simple idea, but really well executed.
