This is pretty neat. Deskscribble for the Mac is a new app that allows you to use your mouse, trackpad or Wacom tablet to deface, tag, scribble upon or vandalize anything you see on your Mac’s screen.
For example, if you were reading this post with Deskscribble open, you could easily vandalize my author bio photo… say, by blackening out one of my teeth, or drawing visible oscillations meant to denote pungent stench waves that are emanating from my body, or even just by drawing a cigarette poking out of the beak of the little budgerigar sitting on my shoulder.
Defacing the bio photos of Cult of Mac authors you find obnoxious is just the tip of the iceberg of Deskscribble’s functionality, though. You can also use it to highlight sentences in web pages you want to remember for later, circle interesting Craigslist ads, make notes to yourself atop of open windows, etc.
Pretty neat, although best with a tablet. If you’re interested in Deskscribble, it can be purchased for just $9.99 in the Mac App Store.
