Mark And Scribble
Mark And Scribble is a macOS menu bar annotation app for drawing, highlighting, and adding notes on top of anything on your screen.
What is Mark And Scribble?
Mark And Scribble is a macOS utilities app for on-screen annotation during presentations, meetings, demos, screen sharing, and quick visual explanations. It helps users draw over any visible content with tools such as freehand scribbles, lines, arrows, rectangles, ellipses, and text, so key details are easier to point out in real time. The app lives in the menu bar and uses shortcuts to start marking quickly without interrupting the current workflow. It also includes a whiteboard-style workspace for sketching ideas separately from the desktop. Additional user-facing tools include a magnifier, sticky notes, and keyboard cleaning mode, which make it useful beyond live annotation. Mark And Scribble is published by Dharasis and is designed for Mac users who want a lightweight helper for teaching, presenting, recording, or explaining things visually.

Safety overview
Status: Mostly safe
This app’s behavior is consistent with its purpose as an on-screen annotation tool. Users may be asked for permissions related to drawing over other content or interacting with the screen, which is normal for presentation and markup features. If you no longer use it, removing the app should mainly affect its annotation, whiteboard, and helper features rather than macOS itself. As with any screen-focused utility, grant only the permissions you are comfortable with and review them later in System Settings if your needs change.
Recommendation: Keep Mark And Scribble if you annotate during presentations, meetings, teaching, or screen recordings. If you do not use on-screen markup or menu bar helpers, you can remove it without affecting core macOS features.
