Every tool, every shortcut, in one minute.
Everything you need to make your point
A small, sharp set of tools. Each one is a single keystroke away, so you never break your flow mid-presentation.
Draw freehand
Sketch, circle, underline. Draw on top of any app with a smooth pen that keeps up with your hand.
Arrows, rectangles & ellipses
Clean shapes for pointing things out. Drag to draw an arrow, box or ellipse that looks intentional every time.
Whiteboard
Blank out the screen with one key and get a clean canvas for explaining an idea, then flip straight back to your app.
Auto-fade mode
Strokes fade away on their own moments after you draw them, so you can annotate continuously without stopping to clear.
Spotlight
Dim everything except a circle around your cursor, so your audience looks exactly where you want them to.
Highlighter
A translucent marker that emphasises text and UI without hiding what's underneath.
Take snapshots
Capture the whole screen or just a region, annotations included, without leaving the app.
Magnify & zoom
Zoom into any part of the live screen to show fine detail: small text, icons, pixel-level design.
Measure tool
Drag to measure pixel distances right on screen. Handy for design reviews and spacing checks.
The Mac screen annotation app for live presentations
Scribbble is a Mac screen annotation tool that draws on top of any app (slides, browsers, Figma, Zoom shares, code editors) with a focused, hotkey-driven workflow built for macOS.
A real Mac screen annotation tool
Most annotation apps were ported from Windows. Scribbble was designed Mac-first: native Apple Silicon performance, a modern toolbar that floats or docks to the left or right edge, and macOS-style keyboard shortcuts. It feels like a Mac app because it is one.
Works in any app you already use
Because Scribbble draws at the OS level, anything Zoom, Google Meet, OBS, Loom or QuickTime captures will include your annotations. It works across multiple monitors too, so you can annotate the display you're sharing while your notes stay on the other. No plugin, no browser source, no extra scene to set up.
More than just a pen
Pen, highlighter, arrow, rectangle, ellipse and text, plus Spotlight (focus dim), Magnify to zoom into fine detail on the live screen, a Measure tool, a Whiteboard mode for when you need a blank canvas, and a built-in Snapshot tool that captures the whole screen or a region without leaving the app.
Free to try, one-time license
