Common questions

How do I move or resize the card?
Move the mouse over the card to show the top bar. Drag the bar to move the card, and drag any edge to resize it.

Where did the card go?
Click the ▶︎ icon in the menu bar and choose Show / Hide Card, or press ⌃⌥⌘V. PinPlay has no Dock icon.

I can't click the card.
