PadPad: Drawing Tablet
Pen tablet for your computer
Free · Designed for iPad. Not verified for macOS.
Shortcuts that follow your keyboard layout, two-finger gestures sent to your drawing app, and Quick Keys for every app. Now in five more languages.
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.
Ratings & Reviews
- This app hasn’t received enough ratings or reviews to display an overview.
• Shortcuts now follow your computer's keyboard layout. On a French AZERTY keyboard, Undo no longer closes the app, and German, Japanese and other layouts work the same way.
• Pinch, pan and rotate with two fingers go to your drawing app. Zooming only PadPad's own view is now a separate mode you can lock.
• Quick Keys you can edit: as many keys as you need, presets to start from, and a profile for each app. Profiles live on your computer, so every tablet you connect gets the same setup.
• Your pen's eraser and buttons reach the drawing app as a real eraser and real buttons. Double-tap and squeeze can follow your system setting or do something different in each app.
• The keyboard types text in any language, including accented letters and Japanese input, and has a row of special keys.
• Setup in your language, with buttons on the computer that open the right settings directly.
• PadPad, PadMac and PadWin are now in Japanese, German, French, Spanish and Brazilian Portuguese.
• PadWin now runs on Windows 10 (version 2004 or later) as well as Windows 11.
