iScribby
Draw on screen from anywhere
Ever needed to draw on your screen to better explain something or make a quick screenshot with something highlighted? There are a lot of ways to accomplish that, but those usually have a lot of the following problems:
Too much effort - you might be using an ordinary drawing app.
The app you are using might steal the focus from whatever you are currently using or minimize the app entirely.
You end up drawing on a freezeframe instead of a live screen.
You are unable to have the drawing stay on your screen, while you do something else.
You have some toolbar in a way that you can't get rid of.
So I made iScribby to solve all of those issues.
It runs in the background and doesn't appear unless you enter the draw mode. It's as unobtrusive as possible and can be used to quickly copy things on your screen, to draw something on it and, if needed, you can even paste in an image and have it stay on your screen, while you continue working - you will be able to click through it and you can even make it semi-transparent if you want.
I originally built it to solve my own problems, but I think you'll find just as useful. If you have any feedback or suggestions, feel free to shoot me a message!

If you are asking about a feature that a similar tool might be lacking, 2nd point from the post might be a common thing. iScribby doesn't steal focus from other apps - you can be typing in a notepad, enter/exit the draw mode to sketch something and you caret symbol will still be where it was, without you having to click on the window.
Will see. It's not super popular yet. 😄
