The Remote Signature Pad app turns your Android phone or iPhone into a signature pad for your computer. These are its general features.
Mobile App available on Android and iOS
Download the Mobile App from the Google Play Store (Android 7.0 or later) or the Apple App Store (iOS 15.5 or later). If you need an offline Android APK, please contact us.
Computer App for Windows and macOS
The Computer App is a free download from our Downloads page, for Windows 10 or later and for macOS. It runs in the system tray (the menu bar on a Mac), receives the signature from the phone and draws it into the document on your computer. Use Actions → Check for Updates in its tray menu to get the latest version.
Four ways to connect: Forward, Reverse, Bluetooth and USB
- Forward Connection (Wi-Fi): the Computer App listens and the Mobile App connects to it. With Auto Connect the phone finds the computer on the same network by itself. Otherwise you can scan the QR code from Actions → Generate QR Code, or type the computer’s address.
- Reverse Connection (Wi-Fi): the Computer App connects to the Mobile App instead. This is useful when the computer is behind a firewall or NAT and cannot accept incoming connections.
- Bluetooth (Android): the phone works as a Bluetooth pen mouse. It also works without the Computer App. With the Computer App running, the cursor is kept inside the signature area so the signature lands in the right place.
- USB (Android): connect the phone to the computer with a USB cable. The Computer App must be running and listening.
The signature goes exactly where it belongs
The Computer App decides where the signature is placed, then keeps the cursor inside that area while the person signs, so a signature can never land outside the signature box. You can choose how that area is found:
- Saved Signature Windows: mark the signature area once for each program you sign in. Every time that window is in front, the signature goes there automatically.
- Manual Sign: drag a box anywhere on screen and sign in it straight away. Nothing is saved.
- Intelligent Signature Field Tracker: finds the signature line, box or signing canvas on the document by itself, with nothing set up in advance.
- Browser Extension: signs directly into the signature canvas of a web page.
See Server Features for how to use each action, and General Settings for how the trackers work together.
Secure by design
The Wi-Fi connection can be encrypted with SSL, with our default certificate or your own. An authentication phrase and a custom network port stop other devices from connecting to your computer.
