Screen Doodler

Screen Doodler is a lightweight Windows application whose purpose is to help you doodle on your desktop. It can be used for leaving messages to colleagues, highlighting essential parts of your project, or drawing free-hand designs.

Look for the tool in the system tray

After a fast and simple installation process, you can find the utility residing in your system tray area. In order to activate the doodle drawing mode, you can double-click on its icon or perform a right-click and select the target action.

Basic drawing features

Screen Doodler gives you the possibility to draw using a brush with a preset size and color (orange). On the downside, you are not allowed to choose between various colors and adjust the size of the brush, so you are stuck with the preset options.
If you perform a right-click on your desktop while drawing, you can clear the entire design or exit the drawing mode. Pressing the ‘Esc’ key helps you close the drawing process.
On the downside, if you want to open an application, check your email, chat with your friends or perform another action on your computer, you need to end the drawing process. The messages are not saved on the desktop so you need to repeat the drawing.
Tests have shown that Screen Doodler executes tasks very quickly and without errors. It is not a resource hog so you can keep it running in the background without having to worry that it burdens your system’s performance.

Final verdict

If you want to write quick notes or leave messages to your friends, Screen Doodler helps you accomplish this particular task and nothing more. Its simplicity makes it ideal especially for less experienced users.
