Everything stays on one canvas
Ink, code, and a live application in the same place, so the explanation never breaks to switch windows, whether you are recording a lesson or standing at a projector.
- Pen-first ink Pressure-aware strokes with palm rejection, tuned for Wacom and Surface pens.
- Unbounded canvas Pan with touch, pinch to zoom, and never run out of room mid-explanation.
- Live application capture Embed any window or display on the board and keep drawing over it.
- Shapes, connectors, and text Draw a diagram on the board: shapes hold their own text, and arrows bind to one and follow it.
- Select by area Sweep a rectangle or a lasso over ink and objects, or press Ctrl+A, and work on them as one.
- Code containers Text blocks with highlighting for fifteen languages, Markdown and Mermaid diagrams rendered, and F6 to format DAX, SQL, and KQL.
