Keep it in sight.
Chalkin turns the space behind your windows into a canvas for notes and diagrams. Ready when an idea arrives.
One shortcut away
Press ⇧⌘D to reveal your canvas. Or open it from the Dock or menu bar. Set your own shortcut in Settings.
Think in your own way
Write a reminder, sketch a diagram, or connect a few ideas with Excalidraw’s familiar drawing tools. Choose Paper for a light canvas or Chalkboard for a dark one.
Leave the idea there
Click Done to hide the tools. Your drawing stays on the desktop while Chalkin runs. Return to your apps with Command-Tab or the Dock.
