Turn your iPad and Apple Pencil into a pen tablet for your Mac or Windows PC. PadPad shows your computer's screen on your iPad and sends every Pencil stroke back as real pen input — pressure, tilt and a true eraser — so desktop apps like Krita, Photoshop and Clip Studio Paint respond just as they do to a pen tablet. Handwrite notes, mark up slides, or sign a PDF that never leaves your computer. DRAW • Apple Pencil pressure, tilt and eraser in tablet-aware desktop apps • Hover and barrel roll on supported iPads and Pencils • Shape your pressure curve and smoothing • Stream a whole display, one app, one window or an area — fitted to your iPad • Pinch, pan and rotate with two fingers, sent to your drawing app MAC AND WINDOWS • The PadMac (macOS 15+) and PadWin (Windows 10 or 11, beta) apps run on your computer • PadPad shows the right keys for each: ⌘ ⌥ ⇧ ⌃ on a Mac, Ctrl, Alt, Shift and Win on a PC • Quick Keys and gestures for each desktop app WRITE AND SIGN Handwrite equations and class notes, annotate a document or add a signature without moving the file to your iPad. On iPhone, draw with your finger for quick signatures. CONNECTS DIRECTLY PadPad connects straight to your computer over Wi-Fi or a USB-C cable. No account, and your work is not uploaded to a PadPad cloud service. WHAT YOU NEED • An iPad or iPhone on iOS 18 or later • A Mac with PadMac, or a Windows PC with PadWin — from codonic.dev/apps/pad Capabilities depend on your iPad, Pencil and desktop app.
