gInk is a free, open-source on-screen annotation application for Windows that lets users draw directly over the screen during presentations or demonstrations. It offers a minimal pen-based interface with stylus, touch, and mouse support, pen pressure sensitivity, click-through mode, and multi-monitor support.

Use cases

• annotate slides during a live presentation
• draw on screen to highlight points in a demo
• scribble temporary notes over any application window
• use a stylus or touchscreen to mark up the desktop
• take snapshots of annotated screen content
• draw on multiple monitors with pen pressure support

When to choose

• you need a simple, distraction-free screen annotation tool on Windows
• you want stylus, eraser, and pen pressure support
• you prefer selecting preset pens over tweaking color and width settings each time
• you want a free, lightweight alternative to Epic Pen

When to avoid

• you need to draw shapes, lines, arrows, or text annotations
• you need cross-platform support outside Windows
• you use multiple displays with mismatched DPI scaling settings and cannot apply workarounds
