Changes (v0.2.2)

Built on v0.2.1, this release adds the following features and fixes:

Added

  • Linux software rendering fallback: when WebKitGTK fails to initialize the GPU (common on AMD + Wayland with recent Mesa, showing EGL_BAD_PARAMETER), floter now auto-falls back to software rendering. New --software-rendering / --gpu launch flags let you control this manually.
  • App search aliases: apps can carry aliases, improving fuzzy matching and pinyin-initial search for Chinese names.
  • Arch Linux packaging: added packaging/arch/PKGBUILD so you can build with makepkg -si (it repackages the release .deb for the matching version).

Improvements & Fixes

  • More robust launcher height calculation (no clipped content or empty gaps).
  • Terminal focus retry on open for steadier keyboard focus on first launch.
  • Drag-release grace period so the window is no longer hidden by mistake.
  • Major rework of macOS app-command search for more accurate results.
  • Misc. style and stability tweaks.

Install

Download the file for your platform:

File Platform
*-macos-apple-silicon.dmg macOS (M1/M2/M3/M4)
*-macos-intel.dmg macOS (Intel)
*-linux-x86_64.deb Linux (x86_64)
*-linux-arm64.deb Linux (ARM64)
*-windows-x86_64-setup.exe Windows (x86_64)
*-windows-arm64-setup.exe Windows (ARM64)

macOS note: This app is not code-signed with an Apple Developer certificate, so macOS reports it as damaged. Run this in Terminal to fix:

xattr -cr /Applications/floter.app

Linux note: If WebKitGTK fails to start with EGL_BAD_PARAMETER, start floter again (it auto-falls back to software rendering), or run floter --software-rendering.
