HoverBoard is a native macOS menu bar app that gives presenters five live tools — Draw, Freeze & Explain, Whiteboard, Break Timer, and Cursor Highlight — all triggered by global hotkeys. Works over Zoom, Meet, and Teams without breaking your flow. No account, no cloud. Your data stays on your Mac.
Hey Product Hunt! 👋
I'm Hung, maker of HoverBoard.
The problem: Every time I demoed something on a live call, I'd alt-tab to a drawing app, share the wrong window, or lose my audience while fumbling with tools. Zoom's built-in annotate is clunky. Screen recording software adds overhead. I just wanted to press a key and draw on whatever's on screen.
So I built HoverBoard — a lightweight macOS menu bar app with five presentation tools, each one hotkey away:
✏️ Draw — annotate live over any app (pen, arrows, shapes, auto-fade) ❄️ Freeze & Explain — snapshot the screen, then draw on the frozen image so content doesn't change underneath you 🎨 Whiteboard — infinite private canvas with shapes, text, diagrams. Export PNG/SVG/Excalidraw. No signup. ⏱️ Break Timer — countdown overlay for workshops and long sessions 🎯 Cursor Highlight — animated halo so viewers can actually follow your cursor
What makes it different:
Native macOS app — fast, lightweight, lives in your menu bar
Global hotkeys work over Zoom, Meet, Teams, OBS, anything
100% local — no account, no cloud, no data leaves your Mac

Built for developers doing code demos, teachers running online classes, PMs walking through products, and anyone who presents on a Mac.
Would love your feedback — especially on which tool you'd use most and what's missing. Happy to answer any questions! 🙏
As someone who demos in screen share all the time, this looks really useful. One thing that would seal the deal for me is letting the on-screen annotations fade out automatically after a few seconds, so I do not have to remember to clear them before moving on. Could probably be a simple toggle in settings.
The cursor highlight alone is worth it, and being able to freeze a slide mid-zoom to point something out feels genuinely useful instead of gimmicky.
The freeze-and-explain hotkey for Zoom/Meet feels like the kind of thing you only build after using bad alternatives for years. Love that it lives in the menu bar without ever asking for an account.
