What you get

Keep screenshot references visible while you work in other windows.

ScreenFloat lets you keep a screenshot above your other windows, so you can refer to captured information while you type, compare, or work elsewhere. You can capture menus and pop-ups with a timer, or adjust a previously selected capture area when you need another shot.

You can explain what matters with text, shapes, and highlights, or hide details with redactions. These edits remain changeable, so you can revise or remove them later. When you need information rather than an image, you can copy recognized text and barcode data from a capture to your clipboard instead of retyping it.

For walkthroughs, you can record your screen with system audio and your voice, highlighting the pointer, clicks, and keyboard shortcuts so viewers can follow your actions. Your saved captures stay in a browser where you can add names, notes, and tags, then use Smart Folders to sort them by rules you choose.

  • Keep references in sight

    You can consult a floating screenshot without switching away from the window you're working in.

  • Reuse captured information

    You can copy recognized text and barcode data to your clipboard rather than transcribing it.

  • Explain and revise

    You can mark up or redact screenshots, then change or remove those edits later.

  • Make walkthroughs easier to follow

    You can record your voice and system sound while highlighting clicks, the pointer, and keyboard shortcuts.

  • Find saved captures

    You can label screenshots with names, notes, and tags, and have Smart Folders sort them automatically.

Best for

  • You need screenshot references visible while working
  • You create narrated tutorials or software walkthroughs
  • You keep screenshots for later reference

Skip it if

You probably don't need it if you only take occasional screenshots and don't need floating references, recordings, or a capture library.
