Capabilities
01

Explain code, designs and spreadsheets in the app you are presenting.
02
Markdown
Add structured notes and attach arrows to them.
03
Screen capture
Place screen regions on the canvas, then move and resize them.
04
Editable PNG
Save an image and reopen it later to keep editing its objects.
Get started
Install the package for your OS. On macOS, allow Screen Recording to capture screenshots.
Open the canvas with Alt + ` and choose a tool from the toolbar.
Share your entire screen so others see the annotations. Ctrl+S saves an editable PNG; Ctrl+O reopens it.
Hold Alt to interact with underlying windows on Windows and macOS. On Linux, use Esc, the mode button or the global hotkey. Installers do not yet carry a developer certificate; your OS may ask you to confirm launch.
