Small changes. Measurable impact.

Research shows that context switching is one of the most underestimated drains on workplace productivity. Even small reductions can compound into significant time savings.

~2 min
Average time lost per context switch

Studies suggest it can take over two minutes to fully regain focus after switching between applications.

41 hrs/year
Potential time saved per employee

Saving just 5 unnecessary switches per day can help recover over 41 hours annually per person.

$2,000+
Estimated annual value per seat

At average knowledge-worker wages, those recovered hours can represent over $2,000 in productivity per employee.

Based on research from the American Psychological Association and University of California, Irvine studies on workplace interruptions and task-switching costs.

Trial & license

FloatyNotes
7-day free trial
All features unlocked during trial
No account or payment info needed
$9.99 — lifetime license
Enter your license key in Settings
One-time purchase, free updates forever

Your trial starts automatically—no sign-up needed. After 7 days, purchase a license key and enter it in Settings to unlock permanently.

Switching devices?

Your license is tied to one device at a time. To move it to a new computer:

  1. Open FloatyNotes on your current device
  2. Go to Settings and click Deactivate License
  3. Install FloatyNotes on your new device
  4. Enter the same license key in Settings to activate

Your notes and files stay on each device locally. Deactivation only releases the license—it doesn’t delete your data.

Uninstalling

macOS: Drag FloatyNotes from Applications to the Trash. Done.

Windows: Open Settings › Apps › Installed Apps, find FloatyNotes, and click Uninstall.

If you have a license, deactivate it first so you can reuse it later.
