Stagehand is a lightweight Chrome extension for anyone who records instructional videos, product demos or walkthroughs. It overlays simple annotation tools on top of any web page so you can point at exactly what you’re talking about — then clear it and keep going.

Key features

  • Arrows & pointers — drop arrows anywhere to direct attention.
  • Highlights — emphasise regions, text or UI elements.
  • Spotlights — dim the rest of the page and light up what matters.
  • Screenshots — capture the annotated page in one click.
  • Adjustable styling — tune colours, sizes and defaults to match your brand or taste.
  • Settings export — back up your styling and move it between browsers and devices. No account, no sync server.

Local-first by design

Everything you create — annotations, screenshots and settings — is saved locally in your browser. Stagehand has no remote storage, no sign-up and no sync. Exporting settings is a manual, on-demand file you control. See the Privacy Policy for the full picture.

Availability

Stagehand is live on the Chrome Web Store. Once the listing has fully propagated you’ll find the direct install link in the facts above.
