Frequently asked questions

Need more details or have a question? Email support@floatytool.com — we usually reply within one business day.

Which macOS versions does Floaty support?

Floaty runs great on macOS Sonoma and Sequoia, fully supporting both Apple Silicon and Intel Macs.

Why are Screen Recording and Accessibility permissions required?

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.

Does Floaty collect any data?

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.

Does Floaty use battery or CPU while running?

Floaty is designed to stay lightweight — it runs only when needed and keeps CPU and battery use minimal, even with multiple pinned windows.

Why does the pinned video sometimes freeze or stop updating?

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.

Can Floaty work with full-screen apps?

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.
