DeskPins is a useful app for those who often have multiple open windows on their desktop. With the help of the app it’s possible to pin your most important windows on top of other open programmes. If all important windows are pinned, it’s easy to find them. It’s also useful to pin your apps in case they are small and can be covered with bigger ones. Users also like the fact that the app is very light.
