Floating Overview

What is Floating? Floating is a video and photo app that allows users to picture-in-picture as many videos or photos on top of all windows. It supports various platforms such as YouTube, Netflix, Vimeo, Twitch.TV, Prime Video, Bitchute, Rumble, Odysee, Dailymotion, video files, and photos. Users can manually enter URLs or use shortcuts to float links from the front-most browser's tab. The app also allows users to drag video links or images into the menu bar icon or use the shortcut method to float items from the clipboard always on top of all windows. Users can hide, minimize, or maximize the floating windows and change transparency by scrolling up or down on the floating window's top area. The app is ad and analytics-free, and users can leave positive ratings on the app store. The app's developer can be contacted for feedback, feature requests, or any other video platform that users would like to be added. However, Twitch has recently started showing a purple screen with a note about third-party tools every five minutes for two minutes, which is beyond the app's control.

Software Reviews and Criticism

    Excellent App. Excellent Developer.

    The app works flawlessly and does exactly what I want it to do. The many customization options allow me to set up PiP to work exactly how I like it, but gives others the ability to design around their needs. I found a bug and provided feedback to the Developer and was personally emailed to let me know it was being tackled and emailed again when the fix was made less than 1 day later. 5 stars all around!

    Honestly works great!

    Works quite well! Dev seems to be updating quite often. The two-finger scroll to adjust transparency is really useful depending on what I'm doing at the time to be less distracted. Not sure if Netflix is possible but that would be a great addition. Also would love pinch-to-zoom feature to adjust the window size and I'd be one happy camper. Thanks so much! You're doing great.

    Reliable successor to other floating apps

    This seems much more stable and usable compared to existing apps that allow videos and images to float. Very easy to use as well. Feedback: Maybe allow users to keep track of the links they've opened? Sometimes I have to close the app but have to return to a previous video.

    It Floats!

    I've searched high and low for exactly this app for a variety of uses. I've never found any solution that really worked. And then FLOATING!! Voilà! It does exactly what it says it will do, and moreover, it does it FLAWLESSLY. And the developer is responsive and helpful, too. 5 stars all the way!
