DrawAnywhere lets you sketch, annotate, and highlight directly on top of any screen. Great for following along video courses, recording tutorials or hosting presentations.

Highlights:

Stroke eraser toggleable via stylus buttons

Touch passthrough to the app below

50-step undo/redo operations

Minimal storage usage

Tips:

Long press and drag to move the toolbar around.

After 3 seconds of inactivity, the toolbar becomes more transparent.

Turn on Clear on hiding canvas to let the app clear the canvas when you hide it.

Note: Touch passthrough will be turned off automatically as well.

Turn off Canvas visible on start to hide the canvas on startup by default.

Clean up icon resources.
Implement adaptive launcher icon.
Add Quick Settings Tile toggle button. (Thanks @Noah12398 !)

While you can download the APKs here directly, you should preferably use an F-Droid client so the app stays up-to-date on your device.
