Gloomp turns any webpage into an interactive canvas so you can explain ideas visually, review designs, teach, and share feedback without leaving the page.

✨ Key Features

✓ Flexible Drawing Position Modes Choose how your annotations behave while scrolling: • Sticky mode keeps drawings aligned with webpage content. • Fixed mode keeps drawings pinned to the viewport.

✨ What's new in v1.12.0

• Added a compact Laser toolbar that lets you switch between Laser and Laser Pen from one main-toolbar slot. • General bug fixes.

✨ What's new in v1.11.0

• Fixed the Text tool and Screenshot tool so it opens reliably from the main toolbar. • Fixed shape selection and resize so shapes can be selected reliably with the Pointer tool and resize handles appear as expected. • Fixed cases where switching from Shapes to Pointer could still start drawing a new shape on the page. • Fixed selected shape bounding boxes so dragging a selected annotation no longer clicks links or other page elements underneath.

✨ What's new in v1.10.0

• Added a Text annotation tool — click anywhere on the page to place a text box, type your content, and commit it as a drawing. Supports font, size, bold, italic, strikethrough, alignment, color, and opacity per text box. • Added Select & Edit Mode — use the Pointer tool to click any drawing or shape, drag to move it, drag a corner handle to resize it, or delete it with the on-canvas button or keyboard. All edits support undo/redo. • Added a Gloomp theme setting (Light / Dark / Auto) in the popup and Settings page. Lock the theme to always Light or always Dark, or use Auto to follow the website and OS preference. • Improved Highlighter with a larger default stroke size and wider thickness range for more natural web text highlighting. • Fixed eraser leaving ghost strokes visible after erasing on pages with many annotations.

✨ What's new in v1.8.1

• Added a Screenshot tool to capture any selected area of the page, including your annotations, as a JPG or PNG image. Copy to clipboard or download instantly. • Added "Enable/Disable Gloomp" keyboard shortcut (default key Q) to instantly toggle Gloomp on or off from any webpage — even when Gloomp is currently disabled. • Significantly improved drawing smoothness on pages with many annotations. Strokes stay responsive even with many drawings on the page. • User interface label improvements across the popup and Settings page.

✨ What's new in v1.7.3

• Added a new Advanced settings section in Settings. • Added Toolbar size options (Small, Medium, Large) to resize toolbar controls based on your preference. • Added drawing-focus visibility options to hide the toolbar or color palette during active drawing. • Added Shift-key shape constraints so supported shapes lock to square bounds and line-based shapes snap to standard angles while drawing. • Added a new customization toolbar with Opacity and Thickness controls for supported drawing and shape tools. • Added global sync options for opacity and thickness in Advanced settings, alongside per-tool style persistence. • Fixed an issue where keyboard shortcuts are not shown in options.

✨ What's new in v1.4.2

• Added the new Text Highlighter tool to highlight real webpage text directly. • Added keyboard shortcuts for faster tool switching. • Added a dedicated Settings page to manage Gloomp settings, tool visibility, and shortcut keys. • Added quick access to Settings directly from the popup. • Added a new Drawing Position setting with Sticky and Fixed options. • Improved popup and settings page loading speed. • Improved sticky drawing performance and scrolling smoothness on very large webpages. • Fixed toolbar visibility consistency when toggling enable/disable.
