All-in-One Presentation Toolkit

A complete screen communication system.

DeskBoard2 keeps the tools you need close to the screen, so you can explain, capture, record, and present without breaking flow.

Drawing

Draw directly where the explanation happens.

Turn your screen into a temporary canvas with pens, shapes, text, markers, blur tools, style controls, and editable history.

Pen, brush, thin pen, highlighter Line, rectangle, circle, arrow Text, marker, blur, pixelate Undo, redo, select, duplicate

Edge Toolbar

Keep every tool one edge away.

Open the edge handle when you need it, switch modes quickly, and keep presentation controls close without covering the screen.

Capture

Capture the useful part and keep moving.

Select a region or window, save the shot, pin a preview, edit the image, and extract text into Markdown when the screen contains useful copy.

Recording

Record now, keep the workflow visible.

Choose a recording area, monitor microphone and system audio, control the session from a floating bar, then trim and reuse the result.

Guide attention without saying “look here.”

Add focus effects, click feedback, screen treatments, and cursor trails that make demos, lessons, and tutorials easier to follow.
