PeakMode is a macOS menu bar app for screen sharing and presentations. Cursor highlight, on-screen drawing, spotlight, zoom — tools you can use while talking, one hotkey away.

Coming soon to the Mac App Store Requires macOS 14 or later · One-time purchase · No subscription
Works over Zoom, Microsoft Teams, Google Meet, Keynote, PowerPoint — any app, any screen share

Tools that live on your screen

Every default hotkey is control + option plus a left-hand key, so your right hand stays on the mouse.

Guide eyes with your cursor

Four highlight styles — ring, disc, laser pointer, halo. Clicks ripple visibly, so people see what you pressed without you narrating it.

Draw only while you hold the key

Hold control + option and drag to draw over any app. Release, and your strokes stay while clicks go straight back to the app underneath. There is no mode to think about.

Arrows, shapes, highlighter

Drawing mode adds arrows, lines, shapes, text and a straight-edge highlighter. Turn on invisible ink and strokes fade on their own — nothing to clean up. Save or copy the annotated screen as a screenshot.

Your files appear at the cursor

Register your demo folders once, and one hotkey pops the file list up right where your cursor is. Folders expand inline; one click opens the file. No more breaking your flow to hunt for that one file.

And more tools for the moment you present

Spotlight

Dim everything except the circle around your cursor; resize it with option + scroll.

Zoom

Hold to magnify the area around the cursor; change the factor with option + scroll.

Whiteboard

A multi-page, full-screen canvas. Autosaves, exports to PNG.

Timer & break screen

A countdown that floats above everything, and a full-screen break cover with your own image or video background.

Your data never leaves your Mac

PeakMode never connects to the internet. The app has no networking capability, so your data cannot be sent anywhere. The optional Screen Recording permission is used only for Zoom and for saving screenshots — everything stays on your Mac.
