Force keeping app window on top - Mac OS X

Earlier i used Afloat for this but now it seems to be dead...

Is there any alive software or any simple "handy" way to force keeping app window on top over others (including fullscreen apps)

I can imagine this can be done with adding something to plist files inside .app like

<!-- Info.plist -->

<key>LSUIElement</key>
<true /> 

for showing app over any fullscreen app (with keystroke)

Google didn't help me much (

How do I keep the application window always on top Mac?

9. Open the window you want it to be on top. Then, click CTRL + SPACE. Then, you will see that the window will stay on top no matter which app you open later.

How do you float a window on a Mac?

If you want Tot's window to float above other windows on the Mac desktop, use the "Display as Floating Window" item in the Window menu. Note that the Window menu is only visible when you're using Tot with a Dock icon. You'll need to turn off the menu bar icon temporarily to change it.
