If you’re looking for a smarter way to take and manage screenshots, ScreenFloat is the perfect tool. It allows you to capture screenshots and keep them floating on top of your other windows, making it super easy to reference important information as you work. Packed with unique features, the app lets you annotate screenshots, record screens with audio, and even capture timed shots for tricky menus.

  • Make screenshots float above windows

  • Extract text and barcodes from screenshots

  • Record tutorials and presentations

  • Collect and store screenshots smartly

ScreenFloat features


Keep your shots floating

Unlike the native Mac screenshot utility, which makes you switch between windows to view your captures, ScreenFloat keeps your screenshots floating above all your tasks for easy access. This unique feature helps you stay focused and productive by eliminating the need to minimize or switch screens.


Annotate like a pro

Want to explain something in your screenshots? With ScreenFloat, you’ve got handy markup tools built right in! You can easily add text, shapes, and highlights to your images without using any extra apps. Best of all, all annotations and redactions are non-destructive. You can change and remove them at any time.


Extract text from screenshot

Need to capture text or barcodes from your screenshots quickly? With ScreenFloat, you can simply start a capture and hold down Command + Control until you release the mouse button. Any recognized text or barcodes will be copied to your clipboard instantly.


Record your screen with audio

ScreenFloat allows you to record your screen while capturing audio from your Mac, including system sound and your voice. Perfect for creating tutorials, presentations, or gameplay videos. Plus, you can choose to highlight your cursor, mouse clicks, and even shortcuts, making it easier for your audience to follow along.


Capture timed shots and recapture areas

Taking screenshots can sometimes be tricky. ScreenFloat offers two handy features to simplify things. Capture timed screenshots to grab content exactly when you need it, perfect for menus or pop-ups. Also, at times, you may want to reframe a shot or recapture a specific area slightly. Simply press and hold any of the capture keyboard shortcuts, and you will be able to adjust the previously selected area.


Keep screenshots organized

The Shots Browser is your go-to spot for managing screen captures and keeping your desktop nice and tidy. You can name your screenshots, add some notes and tags, and find what you’re looking for in no time. Plus, with Smart Folders, your captures can be sorted automatically based on criteria you specify.

    App version: 2.3.3

    Yet another screen grabber, but this one is one of the nicer ones.

    so far so good. I like that it can screen record and export your screen record as a .MOV automatically. It is easier for me to use with Premiere Pro for content.

    App version: 2.3.3

    I like the app but feels cumbersome. Cleashot is much more straightforward for screenshots and TextSniper is great at capturing QR Codes. That pretty much covers the functionality I was looking to repace with ScreenFloat. Maybe I’m just set in my ways.

    Hi Juanski, thank you for your review of ScreenFloat. I'd love to learn more about what you find cumbersome about it - please mail me at [email protected] - thank you! As for capturing QR codes in ScreenFloat, you just capture a QR code and it'll give you all the necessary options right away; you can see this in action here: https://blog.eternalstorms.at/2024/01/17/get-to-know-screenfloat-2-part-i-an-overview/#edit All the best, – Matthias
