PadPad: Drawing Tablet
Pen input for Mac & Windows
Free · Designed for iPad. Not verified for macOS.
Now shows Windows keys when you connect to a PC: Ctrl, Alt, Shift and Win. Draw, handwrite and sign on your Mac or Windows PC with Apple Pencil.
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 to zoom in for detail work
MAC AND WINDOWS
• The PadMac (macOS 15+) and PadWin (Windows 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.
Ratings & Reviews
- This app hasn’t received enough ratings or reviews to display an overview.
• Ready for iPhone Duo. Half-open it like a small laptop: your computer's screen sits on top and a drawing area below maps onto it. A red Focus frame picks the part of the screen the drawing area covers.
• Controls that fit any screen: docked beside the picture when there's room, floating when there isn't, and always foldable to the red ring.
• Ink mode for a finger or a stylus without pressure: slow strokes draw heavier, fast strokes lighter.
• Getting the computer app is easier: a short address to open on your computer, with Copy link and Send link (AirDrop, Messages, Mail).
• A Rate PadPad row in Settings.
• Pinch to zoom can be turned off in Settings, to keep the picture whole.
• Each Magic Gesture action now says what it does.
• Fixes a picture that could stay black after rotating or choosing a window.
