Annotate anything on your screen.

• Freeze the screen: Capture the exact moment you need, including menus, hover, and focus states, with no movement underneath.

• Record frames: Capture sequences over time and annotate any frame within the timeline.

• Intuitive annotation tools: Simply click to plant numbered pins, drag to draw arrows, or close loops for automatic shape snapping.

• Agent-ready exports: Generate markdown that coding agents can understand, or export images with your annotations overlaid.

• Honest deduplication: Identical frames are collapsed, ensuring the capture history remains truthful.

• Smart cropping: Automatically crops to the window if all annotations are contained within it.

• Reusable sessions: Save annotations as portable archives that can be reopened and continued later.

Notate is ideal for design and motion reviews, product walkthroughs, code reviews, and developer handoffs. It allows you to capture hover states, pinpoint animation issues, or mark up differences, then share with teammates or coding agents.

The tool requires macOS 15 or later and uses screen recording permission solely for capturing your screen.

Exports are available in two modes: Text & Image (markdown with comments and the annotated picture) or Image (picture with comments joined on).

Notate is free, open source, and MIT licensed.
