Play any video from Files in a floating window. Watch over any app - no account, no ads, nothing leaves your device. VidFloat plays videos from the Files app in a floating Picture in Picture window that stays on top while you use other apps. Open a video, start playback, swipe home. The video keeps playing in a small window you can move, resize, and pin anywhere on screen.
the no account and nothing leaves your device thing is what sold me, and it actually works that way. tested it with a long lecture and it just stayed put while i messaged and browsed
Resizing the little window while a video keeps playing on top of my notes app feels like something that should have shipped years ago. Glad it stays on device too.
Picture-in-picture looks clean and the no-account angle is a real win. One thing I'd love is the ability to scrub playback speed directly from the floating window, since switching back to the video just to adjust 1.5x or 2x kind of breaks the workflow you guys are going for.
