Name: Duck Float
Rating: 5.0 (1 reviews)

DuckFloat is an app that floats above other full-screen apps, supporting file management, quick file access, clipboard management, and web browsing.

When using macOS, I love switching apps to full-screen mode. However, with multiple full-screen apps, it can be inconvenient to find things, especially when I need to use large-scale question-and-answer models. Switching interfaces frequently can be a hassle. That's why I developed Duck Float. It floats above full-screen apps and supports file browsing, text storage, clipboard management, and web browsing. You can quickly show or hide it using keyboard shortcuts or by clicking the icon in the menu bar. When you have multiple monitors, it follows your active window, always ready when you need it. Features: 📁 File Browsing In addition to the usual viewing and opening of folder contents, it also supports previewing and dragging. • When writing documents, you can preview a PDF anytime, anywhere. • While in full-screen browser mode, you can drag files through Duck Float to upload files or download images. 🔗 Text and File Links Drag files from different folders to create links, enabling quick access to files across various paths. Temporary texts can also be pasted here for editing and copying. 📋 Clipboard History It records clipboard content, allowing you to filter by content type or search text content by keywords. 🌐 Web Browsing You can browse the web with Duck Float at any time while using any full-screen mode software, making it super convenient.

To clarify, Duck Float, like a ninja, will only follow the full-screen app you focus on, and will not create an interface for each app. Considering that it will always run on the computer, I used SwiftUI recommended by Apple to develop it, so that it can keep the memory and CPU usage as low as possible.

Congratulations on the launch! Your hard work and dedication are truly inspiring. When using Finder, can files be dragged out of Duck Float into another screen or window where I want to drop them? This would be a very handy feature to minimize switching between interfaces.

@xeniama Thank you! Yes, you could drag content from Finder to any screen.

Running multiple full-screen apps already tends to consume significant system resources. Does Duck Float have a noticeable impact on system performance or battery life?
