The main features I want are:

  • Import PDFs and annotate them in the app’s native format (so that I’ll still be able to remove previous changes after I save and re-open it)
  • Quickly add text boxes anywhere on the PDF
  • Draw some basic shapes and lines with different colors (can either be notability-style “draw and hold to make shape” or just a classic “insert shapes” option from the toolbar)
  • Have a page thumbnail option and can search text in the PDF file and quickly go there

      I tried this app before, but on Mac this app has a weird layout and I can’t even find the toolbar that is in the screenshot on the official site. How do I make the toolbar show?

        I don’t know, I use it on Linux and it works fine there. What exactly do you mean by “weird layout?”

          I don’t have the tool selection menu on top of the document, instead there’s a menu called “tools” that I have to click in, and the tools are listed by names instead of icons which is confusing and hard to find.

          Screenshot on my computer (after I clicked open the “tools” menu):
