Scrivix Remote

Scrivix turns your iPad and Apple Pencil into a wireless annotation and control surface for your Mac.

Built for educators, presenters, trainers, and creators, Scrivix lets you draw, highlight, point, scroll, click, and control your Mac during live lessons, meetings, screen recordings, and presentations.

Whether you’re teaching a math lesson, marking up diagrams, reviewing documents, or emphasizing slides during a keynote, Scrivix delivers smooth, low-latency input over your existing local network. No internet connection, cloud account, or subscription is required.

KEY FEATURES

Ultra-Low Latency Engine
Experience smooth, precise Apple Pencil input powered by local network communication between your iPad and Mac.

Live Presentation Overlays
Annotate over Apple Keynote, Microsoft PowerPoint, videos, web browsers, documents, and other Mac apps without interrupting your presentation flow.  You can even annotate during live presentations using Google Meet, Teams, Zoom, etc. (You must share your entire screen to show annotations. Annotations will not be shown when sharing an individual screen or window.)

Smart Shape Recognition
Draw rough lines, triangles, rectangles, circles and then briefly hold your Apple Pencil down to snap your ink into clean geometry.  Use the fill tool to fill in both rough closed shapes and Smart Shapes!

Dynamic Whiteboards
Switch from a transparent desktop overlay to graph paper, lined paper, solid backgrounds, or your own image from Photos.

Simple Local Pairing
Skip accounts and cloud setup. Pair your devices with a secure, locally generated 4-digit passcode over your local Wi-Fi network.

Control Mode
Control your Mac from iPad with left-click, double-click, right-click, tap-hold-drag window movement, Apple Pencil hover cursor movement, and two-finger scrolling. Two-finger scrolling also works while using drawing tools, so you can move through documents without constantly switching modes.

Advanced Presentation Tools
Use a fading Laser Pointer, translucent Highlighter, shape Fill tool, and erasers for quick cleanup.

PRIVACY BY DESIGN

Scrivix communicates entirely over your private local area network. Your drawings, screen stream, and interactions are not sent to external cloud servers.
