Annotate
Annotate is a lightweight document and image annotation tool for macOS that allows users to add drawings, text, shapes and markup to PDFs, images and other documents. It is designed for quick annotations, reviews and markup workflows where users need to add visual comments, signatures or sketches without opening a full-featured editor. The app serves students, professionals, designers and anyone who needs to mark up documents for collaboration or personal reference.
AI Recommendation
1 suggestionWe could not find definitive information about whether Annotate has a native Apple Silicon build or current development status. The search results returned are about Apple's system-wide Markup feature (available in Mail, Preview, TextEdit and Photos) rather than this specific third-party app. Contact the developer at razola.se or check their website directly to confirm whether a native Apple Silicon version is available or planned. Given that Apple is removing Rosetta 2 in macOS 28 (September 2028), if the developer has not yet released a native build, ask them explicitly about their timeline — this gives you roughly two years to plan a migration if needed. As an alternative, macOS includes powerful built-in annotation tools via Preview and the system Markup extension, which run natively on all Macs; these may cover your basic markup needs.
