Introduction

SignTools is a sideloading platform that takes a different approach from any similar tools. It consists of two components — a service and a builder. The builder is a macOS machine which performs signing using official Apple software. Doing so means high reliability and compatibility. The service (this repo) can be hosted anywhere, and it provides a web interface for you to upload, sign, and download apps, using the builder where necessary. Having the web service means that you don't need anything installed on your phone, and you can still sideload without a computer *.

Don't be discouraged if this sounds complicated — you don't need to own a Mac or a server, and the simple setup takes less than 5 minutes! Read ahead for more information and examples.
