Signatures under control

HTML Editor

Edit your Apple Mail signatures directly as HTML. Full control over layout, fonts, colors, and links — no need to wrestle with Mail's limited signature editor.

Copy & Paste

Copy the formatted signature to the clipboard and paste it into Gmail or other email clients.

Why?

Apple Mail stores signatures as .mailsignature files. The problem: Mail regularly overwrites these files and destroys elaborate HTML in the process. Sign your name solves this by locking the files at the filesystem level — simple, reliable, no hacks.

  • Reads and writes Apple Mail's signature files directly
  • Locks files via filesystem permissions (chmod)
  • Supports HTML and plain text signatures
  • English and German
