This little trick can give you the full power of these apps without making your screen look messy.

We have featured several of them over the years, likeFloating YouTubefor popup videos andFloating Stickiesfor notes.

And because of that, I didn’t end up using them.

After using, shut the appit’s ready to be relaunched in another swipe anyway.
