Having a way to annotate your screen whenever you need can be of great benefit. Perhaps you’re presenting something or are looking for a clearer way to convey certain information: an on-demand drawing tool can help you draw over an element on your screen to patently relay your message.

That’s the premise behind Honeytone, an intuitive tool that lets you freely draw on your screen as you see fit. You can switch between the pen tool and cursor as needed, making this tool easy to integrate in all manner of workflows.

The software is intuitive and easy to maneuver, yet perhaps the most striking feature is how seamless it is to switch from the pen tool to your cursor. Users can activate the Pen Tool by pressing P, draw anything they wish on their screen, then go back to using their cursor normally via the Esc key.

It is precisely this switching cohesion that makes the program work very well. This effectively makes it adaptable for many users, as you won’t have to go out of your way to start drawing or annotating.

The Free version disposes of many drawing functions, leaving the user only with the Pen and Screenshot tools, as well as a limited number of colors. Undo is also not available in that plan. This should be enough for users to get settled with the program and see how it addresses their needs, however, as there’s no time limit or anything like that.

Those subscribed to the Pro version get access to some useful functionalities, such as the Text, Rectangle, Ellipse, and Line tools for added versatility. An Ink Fade Out feature is likewise offered.

Honeytone is a pretty straightforward software offering. It grants users access to a desktop drawing tool that can seamlessly integrate with your workflow, ultimately making for an app viable for numerous types of users.
