PeakMode lives in the menu bar — look for the cursor-with-rays icon at the top right of your screen. If your menu bar is crowded, you can also turn on “Show Dock icon” in Settings > General. The welcome guide with every hotkey is one click away from the menu.

Only for Zoom and for saving or copying screenshots with your drawings. Everything happens on your Mac — the app has no network access. All other features work without the permission. If you granted it and Zoom still shows a message, toggle PeakMode off and on in System Settings > Privacy & Security > Screen Recording, then relaunch the app.

Yes. PeakMode draws on transparent overlays above other apps, so it works over any app or screen share, including full-screen presentations.
