Inkspot — Annotate Anything

Tracking since May 3, 2026.

Changelog

• Jun 8, 2026
  description

  Inkspot turns any webpage into a whiteboard.
  
  Click the toolbar icon and a clean, floating palette appears over the
  current page. Draw freehand, highlight, add shapes, drop text boxes,
  point with a laser, or use disappearing ink to guide attention without
  leaving a mark. When you're done, one click closes the overlay and the
  page is untouched.
  
  Built for teachers who present from the browser — Google Slides, Google
  Meet, YouTube explainers, shared PDFs — but useful for anyone who wants
  to mark up a screen during a meeting, review, or recording.
  
  ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
  WHAT'S INCLUDED
  ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
  
  - Pen and highlighter with full color picker (hex, RGB, HSL) plus
    quick-access swatches
  - Rectangle, circle, line, and arrow shapes
  - Text boxes with adjustable font size and drag-to-position
  - Laser pointer — a red glow that follows your cursor, leaves no marks
  - Disappearing ink — strokes fade out after a moment, perfect for
    drawing attention without clutter
  - Eraser to remove individual strokes
  - Undo, redo, and clear-all
  - Adjustable stroke width
  - Cursor (pass-through) mode so you can still advance slides, scroll,
    and click underneath without closing the overlay
  - Works in fullscreen slideshow mode — follows you into presentation
  - Draggable toolbar — move it anywhere on screen

  PRIVACY
  ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
  
  Inkspot collects nothing. No accounts, no analytics, no telemetry, no
  network requests. Annotations live in your browser tab and disappear
  when you close the overlay. The extension has no backend — everything
  runs locally on your device.
  
  ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
  LIMITATIONS
  ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
  
  - Chrome and Edge on desktop only (no mobile browsers)
  - Does not work on chrome:// pages, the Chrome Web Store, or the
    built-in PDF viewer — browser restriction. For PDFs, use a web viewer
    like Google Drive.
  - Annotations do not persist between sessions by design
  
  ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
  
  Feedback, bug reports, and feature requests welcome. What would help
  you teach better?
