ScreenFloat v2.2.9 – your Mac’s Screen Capture All-Rounder – is now available (as announced earlier, split off from v2.3, which is coming soon, too!)
It fixes a lot of bugs and holds a bunch of neat improvements.


What is ScreenFloat?

ScreenFloat is your Screen Capture All-Rounder.
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.
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, or trim, cut or mute your recordings. Quickly pick colors.
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 v2.2.9?

I’ll just note the highlights here, because the entire list is a bit long.

  • Copy the selected portion of an image when cropping:
  • Paste images as a markup/annotation into Shots:
  • Change how the recorded area on your screen is highlighted:
  • The double-click action “Export to Folder” no longer overrides same-named files
  • Performance improvements in the Shots Browser
  • … and many bug fixes!

I decided to split ScreenFloat‘s upcoming v2.3 update in two.
The new features need just a little bit more polish, but the bug fixes and improvements contained are looong overdue, so there’ll be a quality-of-life improvements and bugfix release soon (v2.2.9), and the feature-release v2.3 soon after that.

v2.2.9 is “In Review” on the Mac App Store as I write this (with the Setapp version having already been approved and waiting for release), so it should be available shortly.
I should have released this a few weeks ago, but got into the mindset of “just one more change”, and that just never ends. I’m sorry about the delay in fixes I know some of you have been waiting for.

DeskMat v1.1 – the biggest upgrade to the app since it’s initial release a month ago – is now available on the Mac App Store and my website and brings a couple of cool new features I think you’ll like!

With DeskMat, you cover the mess of files and folders on your Desktop with a single click – and show them again in just the same way.
It makes for cleaner streams, screen sharing, video conferencing, and distraction-free work!


DeskMat Functionality

  • Cover your Desktop with the push of a button
    – If you have multiple screens, you can hide all or individual Desktops
  • Cover your Desktops with a keyboard shortcut
  • Cover your Desktops automatically
    – Specify apps that should trigger DeskMat automatically when you launch them or make them frontmost
  • The wallpaper of your choice
    – Use your current wallpapers as the cover, a solid color, custom images, or just blur the Desktop using various shades and appearances

What’s New in DeskMat v1.1?

  • Support for Live/Dynamic Wallpapers
    You can now make DeskMat mirror your wallpaper live – perfect if you use a dynamic wallpaper that changes throughout the day, or if you have your Desktop shuffle through different wallpapers in an interval.
  • Support for Focus modes
    In addition to Auto-Triggers for apps, where DeskMat automatically covers your Desktop when apps you specify launch, or come to the foreground, you can now set up DeskMat to cover your Desktop when you activate a Focus mode.
