About PadPad: Drawing Tablet
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.
What’s new
Version 1.3 · Updated October 24, 2026
• 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.
