Getting Started

What is Vynta?

Vynta is a lightweight Windows desktop application for real-time screen annotation and visual enhancement. Built with Tauri and Vue 3, it provides a suite of tools for presenters, educators, and content creators.

Think of it as the Windows alternative to Presentify — annotations, cursor highlighting, spotlight, zoom, and whiteboard — all in one app.

Who is it for?

• Presenters giving live demos or slide presentations
• Educators recording tutorials or teaching online
• Content creators streaming or recording screencasts
• Teams doing visual reviews in remote meetings

Quick Tour

After launching Vynta, you'll see the main settings window where you can configure all modes. The app lives in your system tray — use it to toggle modes or open settings.

Modes

Vynta has five independent modes, each activated by a global shortcut:

Mode	Default Shortcut	Description
Live Draw	Ctrl + 1	Draw annotations on screen
Cursor Highlight	Ctrl + 2	Show a halo around your cursor
Spotlight	Ctrl + 3	Focus attention with a spotlight effect
Whiteboard	Ctrl + 4	Open a clean canvas for drawing
Dynamic Zoom	Ctrl + 5	Magnify areas of the screen

Each mode opens as a separate transparent window that overlays your desktop (except whiteboard), so annotations and effects are visible when screen sharing.

Floating Toolbar

When Live Draw or Whiteboard is active, a floating toolbar appears with:

• Drawing tools (pen, marker, shapes, text, eraser)
• Color and stroke width controls
• Undo / Redo buttons
• Clear canvas

The toolbar is draggable — position it wherever works best for your workflow. You can also toggle its visibility by pressing H.
