Capture Screenshots & Copy Text at the Speed of Thought
Eliminate the friction of opening Snipping Tool files or minimizing active windows. Press Win + Shift + S to capture any screen region, and watch it instantly auto-pin alongside engineering notes in a floating scratchpad.

WORKFLOW REVOLUTION
Bypassing the Snipping Tool File Saving Bottleneck
On Windows 11, capturing a reference image from a 3D CAD viewport, a technical documentation PDF, or a video frame usually ends with a modal prompt asking where to save Screenshot (42).png. By the time you navigate to the folder, rename the file, and open an image viewer, your train of thought is derailed.
FloatBoard bridges the gap with a background event listener that detects Windows and macOS clipboard updates. The moment your mouse releases the region crop box, FloatBoard ingests the bitmap buffer directly into a pinned floating scratchpad. No dialogs, no disk I/O, no lost momentum.
1
Hit Region Snip (Win + Shift + S)
Drag your rectangular crop around any part of your screen or active application window.
2
Auto-Pin Ingestion
FloatBoard receives the image buffer instantly, pinning it as an active visual reference card.

Type Telemetry & Specs

Keeping Technical Specs Visible While 3D Modeling or Coding
When constructing 3D vehicle geometry in Blender, Unreal Engine, or Maya, you constantly alternate between looking at reference silhouette angles and verifying exact millimeter dimensions. Keeping a separate window open forces constant Alt + Tab context switching that wastes time and disrupts focus.
With FloatBoard, the snip and the spec live in one synchronized floating card. The window stays anchored above your 3D viewport, allowing you to match vertex positions directly against reference photos while reading exact wheelbase and track dimensions.

TECHNICAL FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions: Windows 11 & macOS
What shortcut triggers instant screenshot capture?
Press Win + Shift + S on Windows 11 or 10. Once you drag your crop area, FloatBoard automatically pulls the clipboard bitmap onto your pinned board.
Can I copy text directly from the screen?
Yes. Select and copy any onscreen text with Ctrl + C, or paste code snippets directly into FloatBoard's integrated scratchpad panel.
Does FloatBoard interfere with the native Windows clipboard history?
No. Win + V history continues to function independently for historical recall, while FloatBoard serves as your focused, pinned foreground working set.
How does FloatBoard handle multi-monitor displays?
FloatBoard remembers its exact monitor position and bounds across reboots. You can keep it floating on your primary display or tuck it into a secondary reference monitor.
