Press ⌘ ⇧ D and your screen becomes a canvas. Sketch over a call, a deck, or your IDE. Toggle again to get back to it.
A little menu bar companion for your Mac
Zero-bloat screen annotations for calls, decks, and quick demos.
A transparent, ephemeral Excalidraw HUD that lives in your menu bar. Toggle on, sketch over your screen, wipe clean, dismiss. Nothing saved, nothing tracked.
macOS 12+ · No account. No setup. Just draw.
Your screen. With a little more clarity.

Loading your canvas…
Pick a tool, pick a color. Make your point.
Arrows, shapes, text. All yours to try.Make your point.
Then disappear.
Circle an idea. Draw the connection. Put an arrow right where it matters.
Zero persistence
No files generated, no cloud sync, no clutter. Clear on demand, or quit and leave every stroke behind.
Native & lightweight
Tauri v2 uses the webview already on your Mac. No bundled browser engine. Just Excalidraw’s familiar drawing feel.
Your pen, for the session
Color, stroke weight, and tool stay in memory across toggles. Pick your favorite once, then keep the conversation moving.
Four shortcuts.
You’re all set.
Less reaching. More explaining.
