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. Tap the pen/hand button to scroll or tap the app underneath, then tap it again to draw on the screen. TOOLS • Freehand pen and highlighter — smooth drawing with your finger or stylus • Shapes — line, arrow, square, circle, speech bubble, underline • Quick colours and a full colour palette, adjustable stroke thickness • Eraser — finger and precise modes • Undo and redo • Clear everything on screen with one tap • Hide — lift the drawing for a moment and look at what is under it • Screenshot — save the screen with your drawing on it • 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 FOR STUDENTS • Scratch paper — part of the screen becomes paper and the question stays visible beside it. Draw your working, clear only the paper, move on to the next question. • Mark the question — underline it, highlight it, circle the right answer on the screen. • Notebooks — open a blank notebook, or bring in a PDF or an image and write on top of it. • Notes — take the text or an area of the screen into your notes in one move. • Read and translate — copy or translate the text on your screen. • Screen note — no drawing needed: one tap on the floating button to write or speak a note.

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 • Available in English, Turkish, German, Dutch, Spanish, Italian, Hindi, Japanese, Portuguese and Arabic 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. For screenshots, reading text and translation, Android asks for screen-sharing permission every time. Screen Pen is free and supported by ads. Your drawings, notebooks and notes stay on your device and are never uploaded.
