Screenshot it. Pin it. Done. Floato turns a screenshot of a ticket, boarding pass or pickup code into a Lock Screen card. No forms to fill in, nothing to type. It reads the details for you. Private by design: your original image is never stored, recognition results are deleted from our servers within 24 hours, and no account is needed. When a card is done, it moves into Recap: a calendar that puts every finished card on the day you used it, plus a ticket stub wall of the movies you've seen and the trips you've taken. Food pickup codes, parcel collection codes, movie tickets, flights, train tickets and vouchers — choose a screenshot from your photo library or take a photo. floato reads details such as codes, times and locations and organizes them into cards that are easy to check. Pin a card to a Live Activity on your Lock Screen, or view it in the Dynamic Island on supported iPhone models. Whether you are collecting an order, showing a ticket or heading out on a journey, spend less time searching for what you need. Home Screen widgets keep pickup codes and your next train, flight or movie in view without opening floato, and you can mark a code done right from the widget. Recap widgets display this month’s ticket stubs and the places you visit. Set reminders, or export a card as an image to share with someone joining you. You choose whether to include the code each time you share. Keep used passes in Recap: collect movie ticket stubs and look back on your journeys, leaving a little record of everyday moments. Add images in the app, import them through the system share sheet, or use floato with Shortcuts. No registration or login required. Image recognition requires an internet connection, and results may contain errors. floato organizes and displays information; it does not issue or verify passes. Always refer to the merchant's original information when using them. Terms of Use: https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/
