A floating teleprompter overlay for Android. Read your script while recording in your native camera app. Keep the full quality your phone's camera can produce. No compromise.
Opens on YouTube. Floaty floating over native camera. Script scrolls, you record.
Every other teleprompter app on Android records video inside itself. That locks you out of your phone's native camera hardware. Floaty is only an overlay. You keep full hardware control.
Built on Scandinavian design principles: precise, minimal, reliable.
Frame-accurate scrolling at adjustable speed. Feels natural on any display density.
Move the overlay anywhere on screen. Portrait and landscape. It remembers where you left it.
0 to 10 seconds. Take a breath, compose yourself, then the script starts rolling.
Shrink to a small bubble when you don't need the script visible. Tap to restore.
Prevent accidental repositioning mid-recording. Buttons and scrolling stay active.
Float your script over the Chrome OS camera app. Built for teachers recording instructional video.
No internet permission. Your script never leaves your device. No account required.
12 to 72sp. Read comfortably at arm's length or across a desk.
Floaty started because I needed a teleprompter for a one-minute fundraiser video and couldn't find one that just worked simply. I set up my phone, opened the camera, and tried to record a 60-second appeal. I could hold maybe two sentences in my head at a time, not a full minute.
Every app I found either required professional equipment or recorded video inside itself, which meant losing my phone's native camera quality. They were riddled with ads, wanted an account before you could type a single word, and every single one tracked you, cookies or otherwise. None of them did the obvious thing: float the script on top of the camera I was already using.
So I built it. No ads. No account. No tracking. Just the script on top of your camera.

Most teleprompter apps record video inside the app itself, which means you lose access to your phone's full camera hardware: resolution, HDR, stabilisation, filters, whatever your device supports. Floaty is just a transparent overlay. Your camera app stays open; your script scrolls on top. You keep the full quality your phone can produce, with no compromise.
Yes. That is exactly what Floaty is built for. It floats on top of any app: your phone's built-in camera, Filmic Pro, Open Camera, or any camera app you prefer. You record in your normal camera app; Floaty just scrolls your script on top.
Yes. Floaty runs on any Chromebook that has the Google Play Store. It installs from Google Play and the overlay works correctly over the Chrome OS built-in camera app. Well suited for teachers recording instructional videos or professional development content on school Chromebooks.
Yes. Floaty's overlay works on top of any app, including TikTok, Instagram, and Snapchat. Open the social media app you normally use to record, then float Floaty's script on top.
Yes. Floaty is free to download on Google Play. The free tier supports scripts up to approximately 150 words, enough to try the app on a real recording. Premium removes the character limit, unlocks custom countdown duration, and adds quick import from other apps. Premium is available monthly (39 NOK), annually (249 NOK), or as a one-time lifetime purchase (749 NOK).
No. Floaty has no internet permission and collects no personal data. Your script text, speed, font size, and countdown preferences are stored only on your device. Nothing is sent to any server. Read the full privacy policy.
This permission (SYSTEM_ALERT_WINDOW) is what makes the floating overlay possible. Without it, Android cannot display the scrolling script on top of your camera app. Floaty walks you through granting it on first launch. It is used only to display the teleprompter overlay.
Works on all modern Android phones, tablets, and Chromebooks with Google Play installed.
Free to download. No account required. Works with the camera app you already use.
