ScreenFloat v2.3 – a major update to your Mac’s Screen Capture All-Rounder – is now available, offering a new Recording HUD, “Edit Markers”, GIF creation, and more!
“Outstanding App”
Chuck’s Review @ Mac App Store
What is ScreenFloat?
ScreenFloat is your Mac’s Screen Capture Power Tool.
Capture screenshots and recordings that float above other windows, allowing you to reference anything on your screen, anywhere. It’s like Picture-in-Picture, only for screen captures.
It keeps your Desktop clutter-free, as every capture you make is stored in its Shots Browser, where you can manage, organize and find your shots. They’re also synced across your Macs over iCloud.
Easily copy the non-copyable, as ScreenFloat recognizes text, barcode and faces in your shots, which also allows you to effortlessly redact sensitive parts of your screenshots.
Add non-destructive annotations, redactions and markup, crop, “fold“, resize, or de-retinize your shots. Quickly pick colors.
Mute, trim and cut your recordings with the aid of “edit markers” you can place while recording.
Create shareable and embeddable links for your captures using iCloud, ImageKit.io or Cloudinary.com.
And so much more.
A screenshot is just a screenshot. Until you use ScreenFloat.

What’s New in ScreenFloat 2.3
Aside from many minor improvements and bug fixes (like new double-click actions and better compatibility for multi-audio-tracks in other apps), here are this version’s highlights.
- Recording HUD
- Edit Markers
- GIF Creation
- Better Data Usage / OCR
- Custom File Naming Scheme
- Continuity Markup
- Smaller Improvement Highlights
Recording HUD
Edit Markers
They’re highlights on the recording’s timeline and show you places of interest.
ScreenFloat places edit markers automatically when you change audio settings, pause your recording, and when you switch apps or spaces.
GIF Creation
Better Data Usage / OCR
Custom File Naming Scheme
You can also make use of this for exports, where the scheme can be completely custom, too.
Continuity Markup
In ScreenFloat fashion, this has been custom built to also support non-destructiveness.
Smaller Improvement Highlights
- Fullscreen captures are now easier to do – just press the respective keyboard shortcut a second time
- “Add Border” drag-out option to prevent “bleed” into the background (video)
- Redactions are now custom-fitted to their underlying content
- Randomize filename when dragging floating shots (image)
- New double-click action to quickly add numbered list items, checkmarks or x-marks (video)
- New double-click action to quickly redact data like emails, links, addresses, etc (video)
- “Add Tag” double-click action now supports multiple tags (image)
- Annotations can now have shadows
