Touch control for desktop apps.
Pen and eraser
Use pen tip and eraser input separately from finger touch for whiteboard-style control in supported apps and visual workflows.
Custom actions
Map touch, pen and button inputs to mouse clicks, scrolling and keyboard shortcuts. Create practical shortcuts for presentations, visual work and app-specific workflows.
Beta
Help us make touch support better.
HilloPad for macOS is currently in beta and free to use while display compatibility is being mapped. The beta includes the planned HilloPad feature set, and your compatibility reports help us understand how different touch displays handle finger, pen and eraser input in real-world setups.
Starting on macOS, HilloPad is designed for HID-compatible touch displays. HilloPad includes a compatibility test tool that can send an anonymous report from your display. These reports help us build a more reliable compatibility list and improve support for more devices and platforms.

Touch screen questions
Can I use a touch display with macOS?
HilloPad is designed to add practical touch, pen and eraser control for compatible touch displays on macOS. The display is typically connected for video with HDMI or USB-C, and touch input is sent to the Mac over a USB connection.
Does macOS support touch screens?
macOS does not provide the same built-in touch screen workflow as tablet-focused systems. HilloPad adds touch-friendly controls for compatible displays, including Samsung Flip models.
Is HilloPad a touch screen driver for macOS?
HilloPad is not a system driver. It works as an input bridge that reads a USB-connected HID touch display and turns touch, pen and eraser input into mouse, scrolling, keyboard and other macOS actions. It is built for devices that follow Microsoft HID descriptor conventions.
Can several people draw on the touch display at the same time?
HilloPad does not focus on multi-user drawing where several people draw at the same time. It is designed to make one user's touch, pen and eraser workflow smoother and more useful on the desktop.
Does touch work only in apps that support touch screens?
HilloPad works across desktop apps by turning touch display input into mouse, scrolling and keyboard actions. Controls can be customized for different apps, and app-specific input profiles can switch automatically when you change apps.
Start with macOS.
Start with the free macOS beta and see how HilloPad works with your own touch display. During the beta period, all features are available for testing while we map display compatibility.
