Signing paperwork,
minus the printer.
eSign is a signature app for iPhone, iPad and Mac that lets you sign PDFs and fill in forms on your own device, with no account and no uploads.
What eSign does
You open the document someone sent you: a PDF, a Word file, a photo or a paper page scanned with the camera. eSign turns it into a signable PDF on your device. You add your signature, initials, dates and any other details, then share a finished PDF by email, Messages, AirDrop or Files.
What makes eSign different
No account
Open the app and sign. No email, no password. DocuSign's app, by comparison, requires an account.
eSign vs DocuSignNothing is uploaded
Documents are converted, signed and stored on your device. They leave it only when you share them.
Privacy policyFills any PDF, even flat ones
Place text, date, checkbox, initials and signature fields on scans and PDFs that have no fillable fields.
How form filling worksYour real signature from paper
Photograph your signature and eSign removes the background, so it looks like ink on any document.
Three ways to make a signatureOne purchase, every device
eSign Pro unlocks iPhone, iPad and Mac with the same Apple ID, and the app works offline.

The person behind eSign
eSign is designed, built and supported by Alina Bohuslavska, an independent iOS developer. It’s a one-person company: the same person writes the code, answers support emails and decides what gets built next. That keeps the app focused on one job, signing documents well, without accounts, ads or a sales team.
