FloateFloate for cooking videos
Cook along with the video, recipe on top.
Cooking videos move fast and never show the ingredient list when you need it. Floate lets you write the recipe down once, in a note that floats over the video, so the list is always on screen while you cook.
A shopping list you can tick off
Type / and pick To-do list, then add each ingredient as the video mentions it. Tick them off at the shop, or as they go into the pan.
Steps that don't make you scrub back
Write down the timings and the tricky bits - "simmer 10 minutes before adding the eggs" - as a quote or a numbered list. No more dragging the timeline back with flour on your fingers.
Paste recipes from the web, tidy
Copy a recipe from any website and paste it into a Floate note. Headings, lists and links come along, without the ads and the life story.
Your own cookbook
Keep every recipe in a Recipes folder in the Floate library, and find one in a second with ⌘K. Your notes are plain files on your Mac, so they're yours for good.
How to do it
- Start the cooking video.
- Press ⌘⇧N and add a To-do list for the ingredients.
- Note the steps and timings as the video goes.
- Tick things off while you cook, with the note floating on top.
Questions
Can I keep the recipe visible over a full-screen video?
Yes. Floate notes float above full-screen video, so the recipe stays in view while the video plays.
Can I paste a recipe from a website?
Yes. Pasting from websites keeps headings, lists and links, so the recipe comes in tidy.
