A sticky notes app for Mac makes it easier to capture important notes & to-do's

What is Float?

• We’ve all been there—juggling tabs, chasing deadlines, and promising ourselves we won’t forget that one thing… until we do.

• That’s where Float comes in: a minimalist sticky note app for Mac that puts your tasks exactly where they should be—right in front of you.

• Modern task managers can feel like overkill. Projects, labels, deadlines, dashboards… sometimes you just want to write something down and get it done.

• Float offers a different approach. It’s the digital version of a real sticky note—always there, always visible, and beautifully simple.

What Float Does (and Why It Works)

At its core, Float is about visibility. You choose a sticky from one of three elegant folders, type your task, and it stays on top of your workspace. No need to open a new app or dig through a dashboard. Just glance at your screen and it’s there. Key features include:

• Distraction-free task lists – Instantly jot down a to-do without leaving your flow.

• Always on top – Your sticky notes hover on your desktop so nothing gets buried.

• Just like a real note – Tick things off with a click. Clean, visual, and satisfying.

• Customisable to your style – Choose colours, fonts, text sizes, and even task formats.

A Quick Look at How It Works

1. Pick a sticky – Choose from three beautifully designed templates.

2. Write and tick off – Add your to-dos and mark them done with a click.

3. Style your note – Use bullets, customise fonts, highlight important items.

4. Keep going – Leave it floating on your desktop, always reminding you what matters.

It’s light (just 8.5MB), fast, and easy to use.
