The problem

Apple Mail makes a custom signature genuinely painful.

You copy-paste HTML into a settings pane, hope it sticks, and cross your fingers that it survives the trip to someone else's inbox. Usually it doesn't.

Manual, fiddly setup

Pasting raw HTML into Apple Mail's settings is finicky, undocumented, and easy to break.

Images that break

Your logo and photo arrive as broken attachments in Outlook and Gmail — not the signature you designed.

Designing blind

Mail gives you a tiny settings box and no preview — you send yourself test after test and hope.

Autograph fixes all of it.

One-click install

Install into Apple Mail. Literally one click.

Autograph writes the finished signature directly into Apple Mail for you — no HTML, no copy-pasting, no settings spelunking. iCloud keeps it in sync across your Macs — and Set up iPhone puts it on your iPhone and iPad: scan a QR code, paste, done.

How it compares

Every other tool ends in copy-paste.

Web generators make you paste HTML into Mail and hope. Even other Mac apps stop at the clipboard. Autograph installs the signature and assigns it to the right account — automatically.

Built for Apple Mail. Not bolted on.

The big signature platforms are built for Outlook and Microsoft 365 — Apple Mail is an afterthought. Autograph is the opposite: designed around how Apple Mail actually stores, syncs, and renders signatures.

No account. No cloud. No hostage.

Web tools keep your signature on their servers — stop paying and it's gone. Autograph runs entirely on your Mac: no login, nothing to cancel, and your signature is yours for good.

Templates

A starting point for every profession.

Professionally designed templates — with photo, logo, banner, minimal, elegant, right-to-left, and more. Pick one and make it yours.

Customization

Make it unmistakably yours.

Control every detail — down to the font on a single line — so the signature reads exactly the way you want it to.

Your photo

Add a crisp headshot that renders sharp in every inbox — not a broken attachment.

Company logo

Drop in your brand logo at the right size and let it sit perfectly beside your details.

Promo banners

Add a banner with a clickable link — announce a launch, a booking page, or your latest offer.

3,000+ social icons

Link out to every network — in your own colors and shapes, so they match your brand.

Aa

Per-field fonts & colors

Style every line independently — name, title, links — with the exact font, size, and color you want.

Multiple contacts

Add several emails, phone numbers, and addresses — arranged cleanly, however you need them.

Compatibility

Looks perfect in every inbox.

Autograph builds signatures with email-safe, hosted images — so your photo and logo render the way you designed them, not as broken attachments. Apple Mail, Gmail, Outlook: it just looks right.

The image is gone. Copied-from-a-template signatures point at an image on some server that expires or blocks it — recipients get a broken box and a wall of plain text.

It just renders. Your photo is hosted on a real CDN and the layout is built to hold — crisp, branded, the same in every inbox.
Loved by professionals

They stopped thinking about their signature.

“Before Autograph, my email signature looked different on every device. I use Apple Mail all day with buyers, sellers, lenders, and inspectors, so that small inconsistency bothered me. Now my signature looks polished — photo, phone number, website, and calendar link — and I don't have to think about it anymore.”
Lauren MitchellLuxury Real Estate Agent, Mitchell Homes Group
“Autograph helped me turn a basic email footer into something that actually feels like part of my brand. I use it for client proposals, follow-ups, and partnership emails. It makes my emails look more intentional without making them feel overdesigned.”
Adam BrooksFounder & Growth Consultant
“I needed clean signatures for myself and two team members, but I didn't want to hire a designer or mess with HTML. We created matching signatures in one afternoon, added our social links, and installed them in Apple Mail without any formatting issues. It made our small studio look much more established.”
Mia CarterCreative Director, Carter & Co. Studio
“The biggest improvement for me was speed. I send a lot of cold outreach and follow-ups, and a professional signature with my headshot, title, website, and booking link gives every message more credibility. It's a small detail, but it makes the whole email feel more trustworthy.”
James RiveraBusiness Development Consultant
“I use Autograph because I wanted a signature that looked professional but still personal. Clients can quickly find my website, LinkedIn, and booking link, and I don't have to paste extra information into every email. It cleaned up my workflow and made my emails look more consistent.”

Christian, maker of Autograph
A note from the maker

I built Autograph because making a good signature in Apple Mail is genuinely painful — pasting fragile HTML, images that arrive broken, redoing the whole thing on every new Mac. I didn't want a subscription, an account, or a web app that holds your signature hostage. Just a small Mac app that designs a signature that looks like you and installs it in one click. If it saves you that hassle, that's all I hoped for.

FAQ

Questions, answered.

Is this a subscription?

No. Autograph is a one-time $59 purchase — yours forever, with free updates. We'll never charge you again, and there's nothing to cancel.

Will it work on my Mac?

Yes, on any Mac running macOS 14 (Sonoma) or later — it's a universal app, native on both Apple silicon and Intel.

What if it looks broken in Outlook or Gmail?

It won't. Autograph builds signatures with email-safe, hosted images, so your photo and logo render the way you designed them — not as broken attachments — in Apple Mail, Gmail, and Outlook. Why images break →

Can I use it on more than one Mac?

Yes — one purchase covers up to 3 Macs, and iCloud keeps your signature in sync across them.

What about my iPhone and iPad?

Guided setup: scan a QR code from the app on your phone, paste, and you're done. (iOS keeps its own signature, so it's a quick one-time step per device.) iPhone setup guide →

Does my data leave my Mac?

No. Autograph runs entirely on your Mac — there's no account to create, and your signature and details never leave your machine. (Images you add are hosted so they render in email; that's the only thing that leaves your Mac, and only when you choose to add one.)

What if I don't like it?

There's a 14-day money-back guarantee — just email support@autographs.app and we'll refund you.

Is this made by Apple?

No — Autograph is an independent app and isn't affiliated with Apple. "Apple Mail" is a trademark of Apple Inc.
