A free macOS menu bar app for pinning comments, arrows, and shapes onto still or recorded screen frames.

Landing page captured for the 2026-08-27 issue.

Field notes

The app distinguishes between freezing a single screen state and recording a sequence, making it possible to annotate hover states, open menus, or a frame where an animation breaks. Its export model joins numbered comments to an image or produces markdown for a coding agent, while .notate archives keep images and comments together for later reopening. The homepage also describes terminal and MCP control for agents that need to record, read, or diff the screen.
