The project
Penned is the simplest way to get a lease, bill of sale, or any document signed online. Where tools like DocuSign pile on bloat and monthly fees, Penned does one thing well: upload a PDF, place signature fields, and send — signed in about 30 seconds. Free for up to three documents a month, with no account needed to sign.
Our approach
We designed and built Penned end-to-end in a single month — brand, product, and a full e-signature web app — keeping the whole experience down to three friction-free steps.
- Upload any PDF or start from a template — leases, bills of sale, NDAs
- Point-and-click signature, initial, date & text fields
- Recipients sign from any device — no account, no app, no upsell
- Instant completed PDFs delivered to both parties
- Dashboard for documents, statuses, and saved templates
- Simple, transparent pricing — free, pay-as-you-go, or unlimited
Legally binding and built to be boring on purpose: compliant with Canadian PIPEDA and U.S. ESIGN / UETA, encrypted at rest and in transit, and usable on any device with zero friction.
A closer look.
What we shipped.
Designed, built, and launched in one month:
- Documents signed in about 30 seconds, start to finish
- Free for up to 3 documents a month — no credit card required
- Pricing that undercuts DocuSign's $15/mo-for-5-docs by a mile
- Legally binding signatures (PIPEDA, ESIGN / UETA)
“Boring on purpose. Reliable by design.”
Let's build something that works as hard as you do.
