About:
DrawPen is a lightweight screen annotation tool designed for macOS that allows users to draw directly over any application window. It provides a simple overlay interface for highlighting UI elements, creating quick mockups, or providing visual feedback during presentations and debugging sessions.
Key Features:
  • System-wide overlay for drawing on any screen or application
  • Minimalist interface with essential drawing tools
  • Lightweight and low system resource usage
  • Quick toggle visibility with keyboard shortcuts
Use Cases:
  • Creating visual bug reports and software demonstrations
  • Providing real-time feedback during screen sharing sessions
  • Highlighting UI elements during design reviews
Alternatives:
  • CleanShot X – More feature-rich with screenshot capabilities, but paid and heavier
  • Skitch – Focuses on screenshot annotation rather than live screen drawing
