Presentify

Presentify is a macOS application that lets users annotate their screen in real time, draw with pens, highlighters, text and shapes, and create a digital whiteboard for brainstorming or explaining concepts. It works with any application or file type, allowing drawings over images, PDFs, videos, presentations, code and more. The tool also provides a cursor‑highlight feature, adding a customizable halo or squircle around the pointer, and supports left/right‑click animations to guide viewers during tutorials.

In addition to annotation, Presentify offers spotlight and zoom functions that dim the surrounding display while emphasizing a selected region or magnifying small details for clearer visibility. Users can choose up to five colors or a gradient, and set drawings to auto‑erase after a specified interval to keep demonstrations flowing smoothly.

The app is native to macOS, optimized for low resource usage, and includes global keyboard shortcuts for quick access to its features. It is positioned for presenters, educators, and anyone who needs to convey visual information during video calls, screen recordings, or live demos.
