Helium is a straightforward OS X app that makes it possible for you to watch your favorite media while you work without having to worry that any other window will get on top of it.

To simplify things, you can imagine Helium as being a normal browser, with the “always on top” option always enabled and with transparency and translucency control options. Not only this, but, in order to work, Helium has another trick up its sleeve: it doesn’t catch or intercept any mouse clicks when it is translucent.

This, coupled with all its other abilities means that Helium will always stay on top and will always stay fixed in the exact position you want it to, therefore, enabling you to perform absolutely all the actions like you would normally do, without having to worry about losing sight of Helium, as it will always be there.

Despite its eagerness to remain fixed as a rock where you have positioned it initially, regaining control over Helium can be achieved by simply clicking once on its dock icon. You will soon discover that Helium is all about simplicity, and its main goal is to not get in your way, a fact clearly stated by its minimalist interface.

Here are a other couple of things you should know:  because Helium doesn’t feature a normal web browser interface, navigating to a new webpage can be achieved using the Location menu and changing the transparency and translucency can be done within the Appearance menu from the status bar.

Its chameleon-like ability to both be inconspicuous and to stay fixed and on top of everything at the same time, recommend Helium as a very useful application for OS X users that often find themselves wanting to watch media from the internet while working.

Another good thing is the fact that with a little bit of out of the box thinking Helium could very well be employed to help you with your work by enabling you to keep important internet services always within your sight and your immediate reach.
