FloateFloate for tutorials and online courses
Follow the tutorial, keep the steps.
Video tutorials are great until you have to rewind for the fifth time to catch a step. Floate lets you write the steps down as you watch, in a checklist that floats over the video, so you can practise at your own pace.
A checklist over the video
Press ⌘⇧N, type / and pick To-do list. Add each step as the instructor explains it and tick it off when you've done it yourself.
For any skill
Guitar chords, a watercolour sky, Excel formulas, a workout routine, a Blender model, a coding course. If it's a video, Floate can float over it - including in full screen.
Capture what you see
Paste a screenshot of the exact moment you need to remember, or sketch it on a canvas. Code snippets and links paste in cleanly.
How to do it
- Start the tutorial video.
- Press ⌘⇧N and add a To-do list.
- Write each step as it's explained.
- Tick steps off as you practise, with the note on top.
Questions
Does it work with Udemy, Skillshare and Coursera?
Yes. Floate floats over any website or app on your Mac, so it works with every course platform and with YouTube.
Can I have the note and the app I'm practising in open together?
Yes. The note floats above every window, so you can follow along in Excel, Figma or your code editor with the steps still visible.
