The Float mobile app streamlines your scheduling and time-tracking processes, ensuring you stay connected with your team's activities no matter where you are. Our intuitive interface synchronizes in real-time with the web version, keeping your Schedule up-to-date with just a few taps.

📝Note: The Float mobile app supports the dark mode settings of your device. This means that if you have dark mode enabled on your device, the Float app will automatically switch to dark mode as well.
