The app keeps getting better.
Real improvements to Floatback, in plain language. Here is what has changed lately, and what it means for you.
July 2026
- ImprovedExplore
Your first message in Explore sends on the first try
We smoothed out a hitch where your opening message could ask for a second tap to go through. Now it sends cleanly the first time, and Explore feels quicker and steadier all around.
- ImprovedExplore
Explore can see your map while you talk
When you are exploring a theme, the coach can now glance at your own map in the moment. It connects what you are saying to what it already knows about you, instead of asking you to explain it all again.
- ImprovedHome page
See the real Floatback before you sign up
The home page now shows real screens from inside the app instead of drawings, so you get an honest feel for what using Floatback is actually like before you ever make an account.
- ImprovedThe coach
The coach keeps going if something hiccups
We added a quiet backup, so if one part of the system stumbles in the middle of a reply, the coach catches the thread and carries on instead of leaving you waiting.
- ImprovedThe coach
The coaching is back to its fullest, most careful form
We restored the full depth of the guidance, so every session gets the coach at its most complete and attentive, the way the work is meant to feel.
- ImprovedThe coach
A faster coach that still slows down when it counts
The everyday back-and-forth moves quicker now, while the coach still takes its time on the moments that really matter. Less waiting, same care.
- NewSessions
A gentler start to a sitting
The introduction to an EMDR sitting is now a calm, swipe-through walkthrough, so you can get your bearings at your own pace before anything begins.
- ImprovedSessions
Your session picks up right where you left off
Close the app in the middle of a sitting and come back later, and Floatback brings you back to the same place instead of starting you over.
- Fixed
Behind the scenes: fixes and steadying
A steady run of small fixes and quiet tune-ups across sessions and the map, the kind of upkeep you never see that keeps everything feeling smooth.
- NewThe Quiet Room
New writing: a plain guide to the beliefs EMDR works with
We added a clear, no-jargon guide to the negative and positive beliefs that tend to come up in EMDR, over in The Quiet Room.

Easier to use with a screen reader or keyboard
We went back through the app and made it friendlier to navigate by keyboard or screen reader, so more people can use Floatback comfortably.
June 2026
- NewThe Quiet Room
New writing: Why I built Floatback
A short, honest note from the founder on why a money coach built a self-guided, EMDR-informed tool, and who he made it for.

New writing: Can you do EMDR on yourself?
An honest look at what the research actually says about self-guided EMDR, what it can help with, and where a trained person still matters.

We leave out the purely technical work and the smallest fixes, and gather the rest into the notes above. If it changed how Floatback feels to use, it shows up here.
