macOS still doesn’t ship an easy “always on top” toggle, so Floaty exists as the lightweight utility built specifically for fast multitasking. Instead of another dev diary, consider this a showcase of why Floaty exists, what makes it the keep window on top mac solution creatives actually finish projects with, and how you can try it right now.

Floaty keeps every important window visible
Floaty solves the exact pain that inspired it: pinning reference notes, tutorials, documentation, dashboards, or media players above distracting windows. With Floaty running, you can set always on top mac behavior per app, pause it instantly, and resume later without rebuilding your layout.
Key highlights:
- Instant pin window macOS workflow. Pick a window, tap the shortcut, and it floats above every Space and desktop.
- Adjustable UI controls. Drag the Floaty controller, switch opacity, enable click-through, and keep interactions intuitive.
- Safe permissions model. Guided onboarding walks through Accessibility and Screen Recording prompts so you know exactly why access is required.
Why Floaty feels more polished than old-school hacks
Floaty was benchmarked against every available alternative: outdated tools, automation scripts, PiP hacks, and multi-app note widgets. None of them felt stable enough for a professional workflow. Floaty is native Swift/SwiftUI, stays lightweight in the menu bar, and remembers the apps you pin most.
For a deeper market comparison, the Floaty team maintains a full breakdown of other options in this macOS always-on-top landscape guide. You’ll see why Floaty balances reliability, polish, and speed better than anything else available today.
Floaty adds lightweight controls directly above the window you want to keep visible.
Real workflows Floaty upgrades daily
Customer feedback consistently highlights how Floaty makes deep work easier. Developers layer logs above IDEs, designers park spec notes over Figma, students float study outlines over lecture videos, and streamers monitor chat without covering OBS. For a deep dive into these real-world use cases, read the pin any app window always on top on macOS guide.
Settings stay focused on daily controls: launch at login, activation modes, button position, opacity slider, and shortcuts.
What’s next for Floaty
The roadmap currently includes:
- Better detection for apps that constantly redraw windows
- Per-app automation rules so specific workflows auto-pin or stay excluded
- More customizable shortcuts and button styles
- Additional guides for pin window mac use cases, video workflows, and hybrid meetings
Anyone who cares about smooth macOS multitasking should keep an eye on the blog for new tutorials and tips. Floaty will keep evolving, but it’s already the fastest way to keep windows visible without begging Apple for a system toggle.
