USE WITH A WATERMARKED DEMO UNTIL UNLOCKED WITH AN IN-APP PURCHASE.
We searched high and low for a simple and easy to use drawing platform for the presenter to use. Well, we were not happy with our findings so we created to SlideDraw! SlideDraw is a macOS-based live presentation image annotation app designed to work with most touch screens. With macOS Catalina’s Sidecar feature, an iPad with the Apple Pencil is a perfect pairing! Also, via the CONTROL PANEL on a 2nd screen, a user can assist in navigation and make slide changes while a prevention is live.
Here is how it works:
1. Load in some images on the CONTROL PANEL.
2. Pick a color and draw away on the DRAWING OUTPUT WINDOW.
3. Press PREVIOUS or NEXT to navigate!
How easy is that?! Now, for some more details.

• Supports image types of PNG and JPG/JPEG file extensions.
• Show or hide different parts of the DRAWING WINDOW user interface as desired.
