About

I built Floaty because I often need a window (notes, docs, videos or dashboards) to stay visible while working in another app, and macOS still doesn’t provide a built-in way to pin windows on top. Floaty is a small native macOS utility that lets you pin any window, adjust opacity, enable click-through and toggle it with shortcuts. It works with most apps (including browsers and Electron apps) and stays lightweight. Everything runs locally and it can work fully offline. This started as a tool I made for myself, then I realized I was using it every day, so I polished it into a standalone app. If you run into edge cases or have workflows I should support, I’d love to hear them.
