Show HN: Floaty – a tiny macOS tool to pin any window always on top

https://www.floatytool.com/
2•fayecat910•1h ago
I built Floaty because I often need a window (notes, docs, videos or dashboards) to stay visible while working in another app, and macOS still doesn’t provide a built-in way to pin windows on top.

Floaty is a small native macOS utility that lets you pin any window, adjust opacity, enable click-through and toggle it with shortcuts. It works with most apps (including browsers and Electron apps) and stays lightweight. Everything runs locally and it can work fully offline.

This started as a tool I made for myself, then I realized I was using it every day, so I polished it into a standalone app.

If you run into edge cases or have workflows I should support, I’d love to hear them.

Awesome! It would be great if there was also a way to make the window transparent, if so, maybe we could change the transparency level by pressing something like Cmd+Scroll to change the alpha level of the window under the mouse cursor (I already do this + floaty on Windows using AutoHotkey, and always wanted to do something similar for macOS).
