Each module has its own guide with every mode, setting and hotkey.
Cursor highlighter
A halo around your pointer in three shapes that flashes on every click, so people follow your hand. Pro adds your own colours for left and right clicks, and spring motion with a subtle 3D tilt that keeps it lively, not jumpy.
Ctrl+Win+Hhalo on or offCursor highlighter guide FREE + PROScreen annotation
Laser, Pen, Arrow, text labels, Eraser and screenshots over live apps, free. Pro adds the Highlighter, Line, Rectangle and Circle, a Whiteboard and colour sets. The screen never freezes, and Esc gets you out instantly.

The Smart Keystroke Pill shows shortcuts, commands and clicks as you press them, and goes blank in password fields. Six display modes switch by themselves.

Ctrl+Space opens the Wheel at your cursor. Hold to peek and release on a slice to pick it, or tap once to pin it open. The docked toolbar at a screen edge holds the same tools. Six slices cover the four modules:
- Magnifier: screen zoom
- Draw: Laser, Pen, Highlighter
- Color: ink colour
- Erase: a stroke or everything
- Shape: Arrow, Line, Rectangle, Circle
- Screen: text labels, Keystroke Pill, Whiteboard
Arrow keys or the mouse wheel adjust the slice; add Shift or Alt for fine steps. Esc or a right-click cancels. Presenter Mode hides the Wheel from recordings, so viewers never see the menu. See every key on the keyboard shortcuts page.
Every tool, Free vs Pro
The free tier is complete for pointing and drawing. Pro adds zoom, keystrokes, the Highlighter, shapes, the Whiteboard and colour sets.

Free forever tier. SHARA Pro is a $19.99 one-time lifetime license with a 14-day money-back guarantee, usable across your personal Windows devices via the Microsoft Store. No subscription.
Works with Zoom, Teams, Google Meet, OBS and Camtasia. Overlays render on a system layer captured natively by Zoom, Microsoft Teams, Google Meet and OBS. Presenter Mode hides the Ctrl+Space Wheel from recordings. Camtasia Recorder captures every overlay, full screen or region. In Zoom or Teams, share your entire screen: a single-window share doesn’t capture SHARA’s overlay. GPU-rendered with 1000 Hz input response, and DPI-calibrated for 4K and mixed-scaling monitors.
All four modules, unlocked for your first 14 days. Then keep the free tier or go Pro once.
