Annotate your Mac screen with a simple drawing tool to guide AI agents
Lasso is a free macOS app that places a transparent canvas over any screen content, letting you draw circles, highlights, arrows, numbers, text, shapes and use a laser pointer while you present, teach or explain. Activate drawing with ⌥⇧A, sketch directly on any app or display, then press Esc to remove the overlay instantly. After drawing, press S to capture a screenshot that stays in a corner for copying, saving, cropping or sharing—drag it into chat tools, Slack, Messages or AI assistants like Claude, Cursor or ChatGPT. You can also generate a 24‑hour shareable link that requires no account and is encrypted locally. Lasso runs from the menu bar without a Dock icon, works over slides, code, video calls and full‑screen apps, and supports both Apple silicon and Intel Macs on macOS 14 Sonoma or later. It’s designed for presenters, teachers and teammates who need quick visual annotations without extra windows or lingering ink.
