How do I get the Padlet app for Mac?

Padlet has a free desktop app for Mac. It runs on its own, outside your browser, so you can keep a padlet open in its own window and get to your boards in fewer steps. It's built with schools in mind: IT teams can install it on every Mac in the building without anyone downloading it by hand.

Download the app

1. Open the Mac App Store on your Mac.
2. Search for Padlet and click Get.

Once it's installed, open Padlet from your Applications folder or search for it with Spotlight.

1. Log in with the same account you use on padlet.com.

Install it on your school's Macs

Because the app is on the Mac App Store, your school's IT admin can get it through Apple School Manager and roll it out to every Mac with Jamf or another MDM (mobile device management) tool. Students and teachers then find Padlet already waiting in Applications, with nothing to download on the day of the lesson.

What's in the app

The desktop app has the same features as Padlet on the web, except Arcade. To use Arcade, open padlet.com in your browser.
