Blrt is free, it's easy-to-use and it will help you communicate faster and collaborate more effectively than ever before.

Use Blrt to:

  • Present your work
  • Give feedback
  • Explain images
  • Teach people
  • Chat to friends and colleagues

BLRT ANYTHING
Share your thoughts and instructions on webpages, images, or multi-page PDFs straight from the built-in browser, your photo gallery, camera, or from the cloud.

RECORD EVERYTHING
Start talking, zooming and drawing over the media. Every multi-touch gesture is captured in sync with your voice.
