Spotlight while presenting
Enter a focused preview, drag over the region that matters, and keep the audience oriented during fast-moving demos.
pinlight
A native macOS spotlight for demos, walkthroughs, recordings, and live explanations.
Local-first. Built for direct website distribution.
Review target
Frozen selection ready
Keep attention where it belongs.
pinlight gives presenters one focused flow for selecting, freezing, and magnifying screen content without turning a live demo into a screenshot-editing session.
Freeze for review
Lock a selected area so you can explain details without chasing a moving interface or losing the current context.
Magnify the important part
Bring small UI, data, code, or design details forward while the rest of the screen stays visually quiet.
One direct presentation flow.
