Duck Float

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.

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.

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?

Are there any plans to expand Duck Float beyond macOS to other platforms, such as Windows or Linux? This could greatly broaden its user base.

Hey Chris, I'm curious about performance. Does it impact system resources much when running on top of other full-screen apps? Are there any plans to expand beyond macOS to other platforms? Congrats on the launch!

This is a fantastic concept, @ruyicode! The challenge of juggling multiple full-screen apps can be real, and it sounds like DuckFloat is addressing that pain point seamlessly. The ability to preview files and manage clipboard content while remaining in a full-screen environment is a huge step towards enhancing productivity for users. I also love the implementation of drag-and-drop functionalities! It adds such smoothness to workflow, especially for tasks requiring quick file uploads or downloads. The text storage and linking feature is particularly interesting; in today's fast-paced work environment, having everything centralized and accessible with just a few clicks can significantly improve efficiency. If you are looking for traction on this launch, have you considered an AMA to engage with the community about the use cases and gather user feedback? It could drive some great insights and maybe inspire additional features. Excited to see how DuckFloat evolves!

Congrats on the release, it's great so I can have a few more work windows open.
