Everything you need
to present clearly

Pointly sits invisibly over your screen until you need it. Then it's there — instant, fluid, and out of your way.

Pen

Draw precise freehand strokes directly on your screen with smooth, natural lines.

Lasso

Select any group of annotations, then move or resize them together as one.

Highlighter

Semi-transparent color marks to highlight key areas without hiding what's underneath.

Marker

Bold, fully opaque strokes for strong, visible emphasis on any part of your screen.

Eraser

Remove any part of your annotations cleanly — stroke by stroke or down to bare pixels.

Text

Add crisp text labels and callouts anywhere on your screen in any size.

Arrow

Draw arrows to direct your audience's attention to exactly the right spot.

Shapes

Rectangles, circles and more — for structured, clean visual diagrams.

Laser Pointer

A glowing dot with a fading trail that sweeps freely across your screen — like a real pointer.

Pro

Spotlight

Dim everything except your focus area to instantly guide your audience's attention.

Pro

Dot Pen

Leave a dotted trail as you draw — subtle annotations that don't overpower your content.

Pro

Cut & Move

Capture any region of your screen into a floating, draggable panel and reposition it anywhere.

Pro

Whiteboard Canvas

Summon a full-screen dark grid canvas with ⌘W and draw freely — no desktop distractions.
