Screen Recording powers the live preview while Accessibility grants Floaty control to pin, unpin, and manage windows. Both stay local — Floaty never transmits any screen content.
Only the basics — anonymous crash and diagnostic data that help fix bugs and improve Floaty. Nothing personal, nothing from your screen, and nothing beyond those diagnostics is ever collected. You can also run Floaty entirely offline.
Floaty runs great on macOS Sonoma and Sequoia, fully supporting both Apple Silicon and Intel Macs.
Floaty is designed to stay lightweight — it runs only when needed and keeps CPU and battery use minimal, even with multiple pinned windows.
Floaty mirrors the live content from the original window. On macOS, if that original window is completely covered, the system pauses its updates to save resources. Just keep a small part of the source window visible — even a thin edge is enough to keep it live.
Not yet. macOS full-screen mode isolates each app in its own space, so Floaty can’t pin windows above it. Use Floaty in normal or Split View windows instead.
Floaty is built and maintained by a solo indie developer. I’m improving it continuously and always listening to feedback — feel free to reach out anytime at support@floatytool.com.
