What is EpicPencil?

EpicPencil is a free screen annotation tool for Windows, macOS, and Linux. It allows users to draw, highlight, erase, add text, and select colors over any application, useful for teaching, presentations, demonstrations, and streaming. It supports multiple monitors and customizable keyboard shortcuts. EpicPencil operates without accounts or cloud services and doesn't gather telemetry data.

The tool includes features like a screen brush, autodraw AI, and automatic draw to ease the annotation process. Users can draw over their desktop without capturing the background. Built with Avalonia UI and C#, EpicPencil minimizes resource usage and maximizes performance. It offers a continuous canvas across all monitors and a range of tools like a pencil, highlighter, eraser, text, and color picker. EpicPencil prioritizes privacy, ensuring all data stays on the user's machine with no telemetry, accounts, or cloud storage involved.
