Floating: Picture in Picture
Produtividade
Somente para Mac
Grátis · Compras dentro do app
Floating is a very simple yet powerful app which lets you picture in picture (pin/stick/float) as many videos, photos, and websites on top of everything.
Websites, YouTube, YouTube playlists, Netflix, Vimeo, Dailymotion, Twitch.TV, Bitchute, Rumble, Odysee, local photos, videos, PDF are supported.
Note that Floating is a menubar only app and runs only in the menubar (top right of screen).
How to use:
Simply right click the menu bar icon to float from front browser
Control, Shift, Command, 9 to float from front browser tab
Control, Shift, Command, 8 to close & float from front browser
Control, Shift, Command, 7 to float from clipboard
You can also drag website/video links or images into menu bar icon
Scroll up or down on top edge of window to change transparency
Control, Shift, Command, m to hide/minimize/maximize
Control, Shift, Command, Left Arrow for previous image
Control, Shift, Command, Right Arrow for next image
Control, Shift, Command, + to zoom in
Control, Shift, Command, - to zoom out
Control, Shift, Command, 0 to reset zoom
Pinch gesture on floating window to resize window
You can also execute custom javascript on a floating website. Please click the menubar button for the app, then read the tutorial in "How to execute javascript on floating sites".
Note that browser method relies on AppleScript to work and only supports Safari, Chrome, Brave and Opera. Firefox doesn't have proper AppleScript support. First time using this shortcut, MacOS will ask for permission to read browser's URL for privacy and security reasons. All this happens locally and is not logged anywhere from the app.

I use it many times per day and it is so intuitive that I don't even need to think about it, it simply works.I have had a small issue on the last update, but after giving the feedback I had a same day prompt reply and there was a fix already submitted that I could straight away.

- Updated icon for Liquid Glass on macOS Tahoe.
- Certain websites like Hulu geolock their content based upon your location. So, added support for providing location to the websites. This is off by default for privacy reasons. You can enable it by clicking the menu bar icon for Floating, then enabling "Allow websites to get your location".
- App now shows a warning when location permission is not enabled in macOS settings.
- The History now shows the title of the link too. Note that this will only show for links going forward from this update. Any links visited before this update won't show title.

- Added a new setting "Move to active space" which may possibly fix an issue where the floating window appears on multiple screens.
- One-click support: Since the beginning 4 years ago, my goal has been to make this app as easy to use as possible. That's why, this update adds a new ease of use feature where if you have a browser open with lets say a YouTube video playing, simply right click the menubar icon, and the app will automatically open the front most browser's tab's content in Floating. All it takes is a right click.
- Fixed a bug where the welcome message was too long and was going off screen on smaller screen devices. Made the message shorter.
- Fixed a bug where sometimes, dragging and dropping was silently failing randomly. It had to do with incorrect math about the dragging point intersecting the frame of the app icon. I fixed it with proper math. Thanks to Ted for the bug report.

Previous:
- Added a new setting "Hide 3 macOS buttons" to hide the close/minimize/maximize buttons on floating windows.
- Added a new "History" option in the menu bar drop down. The app will remember the last 100 links for easy access.
- Note regarding Twitch.TV links: Twitch has recently started showing a purple screen with note about third party tools every 5 minutes for 2 minutes. This is beyond my control. I found many other developers complaining about this too on Twitch's own forums:
https://discuss.dev.twitch.tv/t/getting-a-message-on-my-embeds-that-goes-away-after-a-while/29592/31
The response by Twitch staff "jbulava" seems to indicate that this is intentional and they intentionally cause this breaking change on embeds: "...it’s effect on the Twitch viewing experience, but showing the message in all embeds was the intended effect in order to address it."
This is quite disappointing. I will have to wait for Twitch to see if they decide to change this policy as they are intentionally breaking developer tools. Until then, I can't do anything to get around it for Twitch URLs. As a workaround - you can enable the "Use browser instead of embeder" setting by clicking my app's menu bar icon.

- The app now remembers the previous location and size of the window and opens new window with same size and location. This can be disabled with new setting "Don't use previously saved window location and size"
- Added support for Prime Video
- Fixed a bug where content wasn't playing as well as playlist links weren't working.
- Added a useful new setting "Cursor hover hole & pass through activated with Option ⌥ key press". This is OFF by default and you will manually need to switch it ON. Switching it ON makes it so that the hole mask and pass through click can be toggled by pressing the option key on your keyboard.
- Now you can use the "Share" menu in browser to open the browser link in a floating window.
- Fixed a bug where YouTube videos were using the "browser" mode instead of embedder even when "Use browser instead of embedder" was disabled.
- The "enter link manually" button has been removed. This option is available in the "Settings" button on top right of a floating window as "Manually enter URL".
- Changed icon for the settings button and it's grey in color until hovered. Hope this is less distracting.
- New Control + Shift + Command + 8 shortcut in a browser opens the front tab as well as closes the front tab of the browser.
- The app now supports Safari Technology Preview too for "float from front browser" shortcut.
- New setting to enable "Resize freely". When enabled, the floating window can be resized without the aspect ratio. This is off by default.
- Now you can enter the URL directly in the app without requiring a browser opened first. You can either click the menu bar icon and pick "Manually enter URL" and enter multiple URLs. Or if you already have a floating window opened WITH a website opened, you can tap the new blue link icon on the top left (next to the close/min/max buttons) and enter a single url there to open the link in the current window.
- New "Use browser instead of embeder" setting which is useful for platforms like YouTube and Twitch which disable embedding on some videos. If you are getting an error from the webpage, try this setting.

- New Control + Shift + Command + 8 shortcut in a browser opens the front tab as well as closes the front tab of the browser.
- The app now supports Safari Technology Preview too for "float from front browser" shortcut.
- New setting to enable "Resize freely". When enabled, the floating window can be resized without the aspect ratio. This is off by default.
- Now you can enter the URL directly in the app without requiring a browser opened first. You can either click the menu bar icon and pick "Manually enter URL" and enter multiple URLs. Or if you already have a floating window opened WITH a website opened, you can tap the new blue link icon on the top left (next to the close/min/max buttons) and enter a single url there to open the link in the current window.
- New "Use browser instead of embeder" setting which is useful for platforms like YouTube and Twitch which disable embedding on some videos. If you are getting an error from the webpage, try this setting.
- Note regarding Twitch.TV links: Twitch has recently started showing a purple screen with note about third party tools every 5 minutes for 2 minutes. This is beyond my control. I found many other developers complaining about this too on Twitch's own forums:
https://discuss.dev.twitch.tv/t/getting-a-message-on-my-embeds-that-goes-away-after-a-while/29592/31
The response by Twitch staff "jbulava" seems to indicate that this is intentional and they intentionally cause this breaking change on embeds: "...it’s effect on the Twitch viewing experience, but showing the message in all embeds was the intended effect in order to address it."
This is quite disappointing. I will have to wait for Twitch to see if they decide to change this policy as they are intentionally breaking developer tools. Until then, I can't do anything to get around it for Twitch URLs. As a workaround - you can enable the "Use browser instead of embeder" setting by clicking my app's menu bar icon.

Previous:
- Fixed a bug where content wasn't playing as well as playlist links weren't working.
- Added a useful new setting "Cursor hover hole & pass through activated with Option ⌥ key press". This is OFF by default and you will manually need to switch it ON. Switching it ON makes it so that the hole mask and pass through click can be toggled by pressing the option key on your keyboard.
- Now you can use the "Share" menu in browser to open the browser link in a floating window.
- Fixed a bug where YouTube videos were using the "browser" mode instead of embedder even when "Use browser instead of embedder" was disabled.
