Today's list, always in the corner.

FloatTask keeps your tasks in a small panel that stays on top of every app on your Mac or PC. Start a timer, tick things off, or type a messy note and let AI turn it into a proper task — without switching windows.

macOS & WindowsEarly access

One list, three sizes

As small or as big as the moment needs.

The widget, the pill and the full app are the same list. A change in one shows up in the others instantly.

The widget

Today's tasks, a timer on each one, and a box to add more. Drag it anywhere; drag its top edge to make it taller.

Add with AI

Type it the way you'd say it.

Write a quick note and press ⌘ ↵. FloatTask works out the title, due date, project and type, splits a list into separate tasks, and warns you when something is already on your list.

Nothing is saved until you click Add. Plain ↵ still adds the text exactly as typed.

A timer on every task

One click to start. Time adds up by project, and an optional bell rings every 30 min so the hours don't slip by.

Ready for your meetings

Connect Google Calendar to see what's next, link tasks to meetings, and get suggested prep tasks.

A nudge the day before

A notification 24 h before anything is due, written to tell you what actually needs doing.

Out of the way when you need it

Shrinks to the pill when another app goes full-screen, and comes back when you leave.

Light and dark

Follows your system setting, or pick one. Readable text sizes in both.

Your tasks stay on your computer

Tasks are stored locally. AI features are optional and only run when you add your own API key.
