v0.1.2386 Sep 2026·Tabs & interface

Updates arrive faster, with a check the moment you open

Floati now checks for a new version the moment you open it, then once a day while it stays open, so an update reaches you right away instead of waiting up to a day. The check is a tiny request; the actual download only happens when you choose to install, so it stays light on your connection. The daily timer is also slightly randomised from one copy to the next, so a release does not send every installed app to the server at the same instant. Previous release recap: sticky headers, nav bars and table headers now pin on retina Macs and high-resolution Windows screens.

What changed 3 changes

Tabs & interface	The update check runs on every app open. Before, it was throttled to once a day even across opens, so opening the app after an earlier check that day would not notice a release that shipped in between; now a new version is caught the moment you open Floati.
Tabs & interface	A session left open keeps current. While the app stays open it re-checks once every 24 hours, so a long-running window still finds a new version the next day without a restart.
Tabs & interface	The daily check is jittered across copies. Each install randomises its 24-hour timer by a few minutes so a release does not make every copy hit the server at the same instant, keeping updates smooth as the user base grows.
