Hi Hello! I'm the developer of SHARA, a Windows overlay for people who teach, record tutorials, demo software, or share their screen.
It started as a cursor highlighter, but the current version is more of a small presentation tool: Ctrl+Space opens a wheel under your cursor, then you can point, draw, erase, add arrows, zoom, or show keystrokes without leaving a toolbar on screen.
The big change: it is no longer a paid-only Store app.
What's Free, with no time limit:
- cursor halo and click cues
- SHARA Wheel
- Laser, Pen, Eraser, Arrow
- undo / clear, straight-line assist, thickness
- one saved color per tool
Pro trial, 14 days:
- Marker
- Line / Rectangle / Circle
- color sets and Alt+1-4 color switching
- Magnifier / Spotlight / Live Zoom / Broadcast
- keystroke display with password-field hiding
- extra halo/click styling
No account, no telemetry, no subscription. Pro is a one-time unlock if those extras are useful.
A cursor trail effect that fades after a few seconds would be great for demos, really helps the audience follow along when I'm moving quickly across the screen. Could be a toggle in the wheel maybe.
