Annotate

Notes, highlights and pointers over your screen

Add notes and highlights over the screen without changing the document underneath. Annotate works on the computer running Decky, Mac or PC, and in Decky Display on Mac, Windows and Android. Use it on its own or together in a Room, and on a Mac with Decky Desktop during a call. The separate Stylus feature draws inside the apps themselves.

Support: Annotate on your own or together

Annotate on the computer or in Decky Display

Use the pen, marker and pointer on the computer running Decky: hold Control on a Mac, or Ctrl on Windows, and drag. In Decky Display, annotate on Android, and on a Mac or PC in a Room or on a shared Android screen. The pointer draws attention without leaving a line.

Touch and pressure-sensitive stylus on Android

Annotate with your finger or a supported stylus on Android. Pen pressure controls the width of annotation strokes. Touch input is ignored while the stylus is down, so resting your palm does not add marks.

Annotate together in a Room

The host and every viewer, on a Mac, a PC or Android, can annotate together, each in their own color. On a Mac, a Room can carry two sources: mark either picture, and the annotations stay with that source when viewers change their layout.

Room viewers ask to annotate

A Room viewer can ask to annotate without taking control of the computer. Guests need the host’s approval. Annotation and control permissions start off again when a viewer reconnects.

Let marks fade, or keep them

Marks fade by default. Turn on persistent ink to keep them after lifting the pen, then clear them when you are finished.

Undo your last stroke

Undo a stroke or clear your own marks. The host can clear everyone’s marks. The original slide, document or app stays unchanged.
