A tiny menu-bar app that lets you draw over anything on your screen — slides, code, videos, PDFs. Pick a tool with a hotkey, doodle live, and clear with one tap. Your audience sees the ink; you keep the flow.

macOS 12+ (Apple Silicon + Intel) and Windows 10/11 (64-bit). It's a native build per platform, sips under 20 MB of RAM, and works fully offline.

Yes! Annotate is a true transparent overlay. OBS, Zoom, Teams, QuickTime and ScreenFlow record the ink natively — no plugins, no flicker, no lag.

Yep. The canvas stretches across every display, so you can circle a chart on screen 2 while your notes live on screen 1.

Everything has a one-letter shortcut out of the box: V cursor, P pen, H highlighter, A arrow, F spotlight… and you can remap all of them in Settings to whatever your fingers like.

Never. Annotate is local-first: strokes, shortcuts and settings stay on your machine. No accounts, no cloud, no tracking pixels watching you present.
