## Description

Make the screen you already own useful on your computer.<br><br>PadDroid turns an Android tablet or phone into a drawing and handwriting surface for Mac or Windows. See the computer screen on your Android device and send touch or stylus input back to the desktop app.<br><br>DRAW AND CREATE<br>• Draw in desktop creative apps with a compatible Android stylus<br>• Pass through pressure, tilt and eraser input when supported by your device and desktop app<br>• Choose a full display, one app or one window<br>• Keep common shortcuts, modifiers and the keyboard close at hand<br>• Pinch to zoom the local view and use touch gestures to navigate<br><br>HANDWRITE FOR CLASS AND WORK<br>Use handwriting in the desktop apps you already use. Write notes, work through equations, mark up slides or explain ideas without buying a separate pen tablet. Students and teachers can keep the computer workflow on the large screen while writing naturally from a tablet.<br><br>ANNOTATE AND SIGN WITHOUT MOVING FILES<br>Open a PDF or document on your Mac or PC, then use PadDroid as the input surface. Add a quick annotation or signature from an Android phone with finger-drawing mode—useful when the job is small and transferring the document to another device would take longer.<br><br>DIRECT, LOCAL CONNECTION<br>PadDroid connects directly to its companion app on your local network and does not upload your work to a PadDroid cloud service.<br><br>WHAT YOU NEED<br>• An Android device running Android 9 or later<br>• A Mac or Windows computer<br>• The free PadMac or PadWin companion from codonic.dev/apps/pad<br>• Both devices on the same local network<br><br>Stylus features vary by Android hardware. Pressure, tilt and eraser behavior also depend on support in the desktop app. A tablet and active stylus are best for longer creative sessions; a phone and finger are ideal for quick marks and signatures.<br><br>PadDroid is free to use.
