A menu-bar app for macOS

Epic Annotator — Draw on your screen.
Anywhere.

Epic Annotator turns your entire screen into a transparent canvas — for teaching, demos, design reviews, and pointing at the thing you mean.

What it does

Your whole screen, one transparent canvas.

No windows to arrange, no app to switch into. Epic Annotator floats above everything you're already doing.

One hotkey away

A

Summon the overlay from any app, on any screen. Rebind it to whatever you like.

Click-through by default

Your annotations float above your work while clicks pass straight through to the apps beneath. Drawing never interrupts doing.

Every display, every Space

The canvas spans all of your monitors and Mission Control Spaces — annotate the second screen without losing the first.

Eight tools, six colors

Everything you tried in the hero above, plus adjustable stroke width and undo / redo / clear.

Lives in the menu bar
