Presentify - Screen Annotation

Presentify draws temporary annotations over a Mac screen and highlights, spotlights or magnifies the cursor area.

Our take

Pick it for explaining a live demo, lesson or shared screen.

Global shortcuts and temporary drawing let you emphasize content without editing the underlying app or document.

Keep in mind: Screen annotations are an overlay, not saved PDF edits. Confirm your meeting or recording setup captures the intended screen and overlays.

What you can do

  • Draw text, shapes and highlights over other apps
  • Use a whiteboard and automatic annotation erasing
  • Customize cursor highlights, spotlight, zoom and shortcuts

Good for

  • Teachers, presenters and tutorial creators demonstrating on a Mac.

Consider alternatives for

  • Users needing permanent document markup or a complete video-recording editor.

Limitations & considerations

  • Captured minimum: macOS 13.0.
  • Screen annotations are an overlay, not saved PDF edits. Confirm your meeting or recording setup captures the intended screen and overlays.

Privacy & permissions

The developer policy says Presentify collects no user data; screen sharing and recording tools can still reveal anything visible, so hide private notifications before presenting.
