Floatie lifts every capture into a floating shot right where you drew it. Mark it up, read the text inside, then paste or drag it anywhere — without the shot ever becoming a file you have to manage.
Draw a region — it lifts off the screen ⌘⇧2, then drag
Most tools stop at “capture, save, done” — and that’s where the real work starts. Floatie collapses the whole loop into one motion. Every card below is real: click, drag, and try it.
Drag over any part of the screen. The shot rises where you drew it with a soft shadow and stays above your work until you close it. A 5× magnifier snaps you to pixel-perfect edges.
Clicks pass straight through the shot
Every shot carries four buttons. Pick what each one does — ghost, pin, edit, OCR, shrink, flip, color picker, cute float, share, or close.
Pull the shot into Slack, Finder, or Mail and it lands as a PNG. Click once to copy. No save dialog, no export step — ever.
Ship by Friday.
Card on file — do not resend.
Pen, lines, arrows, rectangles, numbered callouts, text, and mosaic — blur or pixelize an email address before you send it. Six colors, adjustable stroke, undo. Pick a tool and draw.
Floatie keeps every capture on your screen as a floating shot. Freeze it and the words inside become text you can select and copy.
Freeze a shot and drag through the words — they land on your clipboard. English, Korean, Japanese, and Chinese are recognized on-device with Apple Vision.
Roll the wheel over a shot to fade it. Trace over a reference, compare two versions, or keep a spec hovering above your work.
One press lifts the subject and turns the rest transparent — on-device with Apple Vision. Press again and the background is back. Drag the cutout straight into Keynote, Slack, or a doc.
Send any floating shot to Apple's Image Playground. The result comes back as a new shot beside the original, which stays untouched. Needs Apple Intelligence on macOS 15.2 or later.
⌃⌥3 rolls down a long page, chat, or code file and joins it into one tall shot.
Region, window, or full screen to MP4. The clip lands in a floating preview you can trim, crop, and blur before dragging it out.
Leave a shot alone and it folds into a small bobbing symbol. Click it to bring the full shot back.
Nudge the screen edge for the history rail. Everything you closed waits there, kept locally — click a thumbnail to bring it back.
Right-click a shot and copy a link. It uploads to floatie.page and the link is already on your clipboard — no account, and it expires in 7 days (30 with Pro).
These are the defaults. All of them are remappable in Settings → Shortcuts.
