Float Text – Floating Clipboard is an Android productivity app by NextBillion Labs that places a draggable, resizable clipboard window on top of other apps so you can paste, read, and copy text one line at a time.
What is Float Text – Floating Clipboard?
Float Text is an Android overlay clipboard tool. You paste text into it or load a .txt file, and it displays that text in a floating popup that stays above whatever app you are using; pressing COPY sends the current line to the system clipboard and advances to the next one. The app is published by NextBillion Labs (developer contact Anand Kumar, Surat, India), carries a 5K+ download count on Google Play, is rated "Everyone," and is listed at version 1.1.1, updated 13 June 2026.
What makes Float Text stand out?
- Floating overlay window — the popup renders above other apps and can be resized from compact to near-full-window; the default window height is 700 pixels (increased in v1.1.1).
- One-tap COPY with auto-advance — a single press copies the current line to the clipboard and automatically moves to the next line, so no separate "next" tap is needed.
- Line position counter — displays the current position in the format 1/100, 2/100 and so on, so you know exactly which line of a long file you are on.
- Previous/Next navigation — manual back and forward controls let you re-copy an earlier line or skip ahead.
- Minimize to bubble — collapses the window into a small floating icon that restores the same position and the same loaded text when tapped.
- Input history — the last 10 saved inputs can be recalled instantly without re-pasting (added in v1.1.1).
- Text input by paste or .txt upload — long inputs of 100+ lines are supported; the app does not parse other formats.
- Night mode and persistent session — a dark theme for low light, and loaded data stays active until you reset it, even after minimizing.
- Offline, no login — the Play listing states all features work offline, no personal data is collected, no data is shared with third parties, and the build is under 5 MB.
Who should use Float Text?
Data entry workers: keep a long list of values in the floating window and copy each item into a form field with one tap plus auto-advance, without alt-tabbing between apps.
Developers and QA testers: load command lines, tokens, or access codes into a .txt file and step through them one at a time with line tracking to keep their place.
Students: display study content line by line in a resizable window while reading or reciting it in another app, using Next/Previous to move back and forth.
Support and operations staff: keep OTPs and repeated access codes visible in a small overlay and copy each one as needed.
Use cases
- OTP and access-code copying: paste the codes once, then tap COPY per line to place each code on the clipboard without switching windows.
- Form and field filling: load a checklist or data script and feed values into a web form or spreadsheet one line at a time.
- Reading instructions while working: float a set of steps over the app you are configuring, resizing the window to sit clear of the controls.
- Line-by-line memorization: use the 1/100 counter plus Next/Previous to walk through script or note content repeatedly.
How does Float Text work?
The workflow is: upload or paste text (including long 100+ line files), open the floating popup, tap COPY to copy the current line and advance, use Previous/Next for manual moves, and minimize to the bubble icon when the window is not needed. A short onboarding tutorial and a permission explanation dialog are shown to new users, since the overlay requires display-over-other-apps permission.
Pricing
Float Text is free to install and contains ads. The listing offers a rewarded ad that grants 24 hours ad-free (reduced from 3 ads in v1.1.1), and the ad space is hidden until a real ad loads.
FAQ
Is Float Text free?
Float Text is free to download and use, with advertising. One rewarded ad grants 24 hours without ads; the app also hides ad space until an ad has actually loaded, so no blank ad box appears.
Does Float Text work offline?
Yes. The Play listing states all features work offline, and no login or internet connection is required, which means the app functions in airplane mode or on devices without a data plan.
Does Float Text collect my data?
The developer's data safety declaration states that no data is shared with third parties and no data is collected. Text you paste stays in the app session until you reset it.
What text can I load into Float Text?
You can paste text directly or upload a .txt file, including long files with 100 or more lines. Other document or PDF formats are not listed as supported, and the app does not require an account to load content.
Why does Float Text need extra permissions?
It displays a floating window over other apps, which Android requires specific overlay permission for. Version 1.1.1 added a clearer permission explanation dialog, along with fixes for floating window crashes on move, resize, and close.
