✏️ org-pad.el - Send iPad drawings to Emacs easily

💡 What is org-pad.el?

org-pad.el links your iPad or tablet to Emacs. It lets you draw with a stylus on your tablet and see the result in your org-mode documents. You do not need to scan files or move images manually. The software handles the transport of your sketches into your project files automatically through your web browser.
