Floating: Picture in Picture 4+

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

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.
