LESS SWITCHING. MORE DOING.
The small things,
a little closer.
Skip a track. Keep a file handy. Turn the volume down. Floatlet brings everyday actions into one small surface, inspired by the Dynamic Island concept and built for Windows.
Keep the song.
A stop along
the way.
Drop a file reference into the tray, then drag it into another app when you're ready. Removing a reference leaves your original file untouched.
Small adjustments.
No big interruption.
Volume, supported display brightness and nearby Wi-Fi. A timer when you need a moment. A calendar when you need to look ahead.
A moment to focus.
A nudge when it ends.
Timers and alarms expand into a persistent alert. A running stopwatch stays visible in the compact pill. Dismiss an alert when you are ready, not when a timeout decides.
One day.
All your calendars.
Connect up to eight Google Calendar subscriptions. Browse a shared agenda, filter duplicate events, and get a pop-out within five minutes of a timed event. Private links stay encrypted on your PC.
Only what
you want to see.
Keep the music bar icon-only. Reduce motion. Hide microphone activity with Show calls. Floatlet stays in the background and can start with Windows.
NATIVE BY DESIGN
A small surface.
An open project.
Built with C++ and Windows composition. No bundled browser. No account required for the app.
This is an early preview. Some controls open Windows settings. Battery savings and 120 Hz smoothness have not been verified.
What works, and what doesn't ↗THE REAL APP
Source you can inspect.
The playground uses sample artwork, search results and fictional events. Its optional opening cue is generated in your browser. It does not connect to Spotify, Discord or Google Calendar or read files. The native app uses supported Windows interfaces. See what ships in the source, release notes and test evidence.
Explore the repository ↗What is Floatlet?
A free, open-source Dynamic Island app for Windows 10 and 11. It brings supported music playback, file references, system controls, clocks and optional calendar subscriptions into a compact desktop capsule.
Is it just for Surface laptops?
No. The x64 preview runs on Windows 10 and 11 Intel and AMD PCs. Windows 11 ARM PCs can use x64 emulation. There is no native ARM64 download yet.
Does it work with Spotify and Apple Music?
The public app reads artwork and playback controls exposed by Windows media sessions. Browser behaviour varies. The app can look up matching artwork in Apple catalogue when a media session does not supply a cover.
Can I connect more than one calendar?
Yes. Add up to eight private Google Calendar iCal subscriptions for a merged, read-only agenda and five-minute reminders. Edits depend on when Google publishes them to the feed.
Is Floatlet Search available to download?
Yes. Search is included in the 0.7.0 download. Choose a shortcut and either Floatlet local index or Everything in Search preferences. The playground uses sample results.
