Annotate1.8.0

Annotate lets Mac users mark up what is visible on their screen through keyboard-driven controls, adding visual emphasis to on-screen material as they work. Its central task is screen annotation, so users can call attention to displayed content without moving it into a separate document or editor. Keyboard input defines the way the application is operated, giving the workflow a shortcut-oriented feel from the moment an annotation is made. The result is a focused way to point out details on the display while keeping the computer-based task in view.

The application is intended for Mac users who need a productivity aid for explaining, highlighting, or drawing attention to screen content. Typical situations include presenting information, demonstrating something on a computer, or marking up material during other work performed on the Mac. What sets it apart is the combination of screen-level annotation and keyboard-led operation, rather than a broader collection of document-writing features.

Annotate 1.6.0 is freeware in the Productivity category for macOS. It requires macOS 14 Sonoma or later and supports Macs using either Intel or Apple Silicon processors.
