About Screen Pen: Draw on Screen
Screen Pen lets you draw on whatever is already on your screen. No need to leave the app you are in: video, maps, PDFs, web pages, games or photos — draw over all of them, write, and mark the part that matters.
HOW IT WORKS
1. Tap "Start Drawing".
2. The pen toolbar appears at the edge of the screen and the app steps aside.
3. Draw with your finger, whatever app you are in.
TOOLS
• Freehand pen — smooth drawing with your finger
• Shapes — line, arrow, square, circle
• Six colours — purple, blue, teal, pink, orange, green
• Adjustable stroke thickness
• Eraser — finger and precise modes
• Undo and redo
• Clear everything on screen with one tap
• Pen / touch switch — pause drawing and use the app underneath
• Turn the toolbar vertical or horizontal, or shrink it to a small button
WHAT PEOPLE USE IT FOR
• Online classes and remote teaching — mark the thing you are explaining
• Presentations and meetings — highlight what you are pointing at
• Tutorials and screen recording — draw while you record
• Marking up screenshots — show someone exactly what you mean
• Game streaming — draw tactics and routes
• Maps and directions — trace the route instead of describing it
• Design and site reviews — circle what needs fixing, on the screen itself
FEATURES
• Works across the whole screen, not just inside one app
• The app moves to the background as soon as you start drawing
• Pick the accent colour you like
• Decide which buttons appear on the toolbar
• Light, and needs no internet beyond ads
• Available in English, Turkish, German, Spanish, Italian and Hindi
PERMISSIONS
Screen Pen needs the "Display over other apps" permission to work — that is the only way a pen can appear on top of other apps. While the pen is on, an ongoing notification is shown so you can always see it is running and stop it from there.
Screen Pen is free and supported by ads. Your drawings stay on your device and are never uploaded.
