Draw on your screen during calls — a free screen annotation tool for Windows, macOS and Linux.

Drawing

  • Brush, line, arrow, rectangle, ellipse, text, text blocks, laser pointer and eraser over every window.
  • Text blocks and text with Markdown: headings, bullet and numbered lists that continue on Enter, bold, italic, code, strikethrough. Double-click to edit with any tool.
  • Arrows attach to text blocks and screenshots and follow them.
  • Region screenshots (S): select part of the screen and it lands on the canvas — move, resize, rotate.

Calls

  • One global hotkey, Alt+` (configurable), opens the canvas on the monitor under the cursor.
  • Hold Alt to click and scroll the windows below; double-tap Alt to stay in click-through mode (Windows, macOS).
  • Ctrl+Shift+C copies the drawing as an image — paste it into the call chat.
  • Ctrl+S saves a PNG that opens anywhere and keeps the editable canvas inside; Ctrl+O opens it again.

App

  • Starts with the system and waits in the tray; closing the canvas only hides it.
  • Keys work on any keyboard layout: 1…0 tools, Alt+1…8 colors, Shift+1…3 stroke width, F1 cheat sheet.
  • Settings panel: language, hotkey, start with the system, updates, about.
  • 11 languages: English, Русский, Deutsch, Español, Français, Português, 中文, 日本語, 한국어, العربية, हिन्दी.
  • Signed automatic updates through ProAnima Hub.

Install

  • Windows 10/11 — .exe, no admin rights needed.
  • macOS 11+ — one .dmg for Intel and Apple Silicon.
  • Linux (Ubuntu 24.04+, Debian 13+, Fedora 40+) — AppImage, .deb, .rpm.

The installers are not yet signed with a paid developer certificate: on first launch Windows may show “Windows protected your PC” (More info → Run anyway), and macOS may ask you to open the app with right-click → Open.
