Floating Button

A floating button on every page so you can open Helperbird in one tap — ideal for kiosk mode or when the browser toolbar is hidden.

Open Helperbird From Any Page

The floating button puts Helperbird one tap away — a small button that sits on top of every website, so you can open Helperbird without hunting for the toolbar icon. It's perfect for kiosk mode, locked-down devices, or anyone who just wants quicker access.

Learn how to use the floating button

  • Shortcuts - Open Helperbird and trigger features straight from the keyboard.
  • Immersive Reader - A distraction-free reading view for any page.
  • Reading Mode - Strip a page back to clean, readable text.

What You Get

Always within reach: A floating button on every page, so Helperbird is never more than a tap away.

Choose its position: Place the button on the left or right to suit how you work.

Great for kiosks: When the browser toolbar is hidden — in ChromeOS kiosk or locked mode — the floating button gives students a reliable way to open Helperbird.
