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.

GENERAL:
• Supports image types of PNG and JPG/JPEG file extensions.
• Show or hide different parts of the DRAWING WINDOW user interface as desired.
• Separate “clean” SCREEN OUTPUT WINDOW to mirror the DRAWING WINDOW without all of the buttons. Perfect for your broadcast or presentation screens.
• Fade up or down to black the DRAWING WINDOW. Designed for on-stage TVs that you need to fade out.
