Score: 6.8/10 (Innovation: 6, Technical: 7, Documentation: 8, Utility: 6)

SharePad is a macOS menu-bar app that turns a USB-connected iPad into a clean, shareable window for video calls, enabling live whiteboarding without the need for QuickTime or virtual cameras. It solves a specific pain point for remote presenters by using macOS CoreMediaIO capture to provide a full-size shared window, and it offers a one-time licence model. The project is technically sound with a well-documented design and build process.

Target audience: remote workers, educators, presenters
