Changelog · v1.7.0 · 2026-06-14

Type text anywhere on your screen — Limelight 1.7

Drop text labels and callouts anywhere on screen, over any app (⌃⌥5).

On-screen text lets you place words directly on your screen. Press ⌃⌥5, click where you want it, and type — a clean label appears on top of whatever app you are showing.

Use it to name a button, add a quick note, or call out a step during a demo or lesson. Clear it with ⌃⌥C. Nothing is saved or recorded; it is a live overlay.

Combined with drawing and the region spotlight, it turns any screen share into a guided walkthrough without switching to a separate annotation app.

What's new

  • Type text anywhere on screen (⌃⌥5)
  • Works over any app; clear with ⌃⌥C
