Earlier quoted context omitted.

Hey, thanks for the feedback, the cursor movement is smoothed out in the screen recording tool. I tried to strike a balance, original videos felt a bit too distracting with unfiltered cursor movements.

I think you should indicate this above or below the demo in a smallish typeface. Your explanation makes sense, but the presentation comes off as sketchy without that info. Maybe it's just me. Thanks for responding.

That is a great idea! I'll add that, thank you :)

I really like the homepage. It’s clear what the product does just after a few seconds and looks nice and smooth :)

I’m curious if the annotation handles things like scrolling within a webpage. That would be a really cool feature if annotations automatically moved with the scroll.

i'd love this for the iPad, i'd buy it right away but didnt see it for the iPad -- mostly because writing with a mouse is very difficult, but pens are easy

You can connect your iPad to mac via the charger cable and use it as an external monitor. Apple Pencil works too.

Thank you for the feedback! At the moment it's not scroll-aware, but it's an excellent idea, thank you.

I won't be able to make it app-aware, given the very rigid security posture (complete sandbox), but I may be able to make it scroll-aware, so at least within the same window it'd move relative to the 'global' position. I'll look into it :)

Super useful and a great price. Added to my Login Items and remapped some of the extra modifier keys on my Keychron Q11 for even easier access to Draw/HUD. Perhaps one nice-to-have would be an indicator that 'Draw' is active so I know what my next click is going to do (maybe the menu icon changes?). Thank you!
