The 10-Second Signature: A Faster, Simpler E-Sign Experience for Everyday Work
Lightweight signer UI. No account required. Mobile-first. Audit trail auto-attached. Multiple signer paths.
The DocuSign Problem
DocuSign is powerful. It's also slow. Click the email link. Create an account (or log in). Navigate through screens. Read instructions. Find the signature box. Draw your signature. Click next. Confirm. Wait for processing. Finally done. 3-5 minutes for a simple one-page document.
For everyday work, that's overkill.
Unlayered: Sign in 10 Seconds
We built signing for speed. Here's how it works:
The 10-Second Flow
Click email link
Document opens instantly. No login required.
Review document
Signature fields highlighted. Mobile-optimized.
Sign with one tap
Type, draw, or upload. Your choice.
Done
Signed document emailed immediately. Audit trail attached.
Lightweight Signer UI
No clutter. No unnecessary screens. Just the document and signature fields.
- Single-page interface. No navigation required
- Signature fields auto-highlighted. Impossible to miss
- Smart field navigation. Tap to jump to next signature
- Instant validation. Know immediately if you missed a field
No Account Required
The biggest friction in eSignatures? Forcing people to create accounts.
With Unlayered, signers never create an account. They just sign. Email verification happens automatically. Identity is confirmed via email link. No passwords. No profiles. No extra steps.
Why This Matters
87% of people abandon a signing request if forced to create an account. With Unlayered, that number drops to near zero.
Mobile-First Design
Most people open signature requests on their phone. We designed for that.
Touch-Optimized
Large tap targets. Smooth drawing canvas. Pinch-to-zoom for document review.
Portrait Mode
Optimized for one-handed signing. No landscape rotation required.
Fast Loading
Documents load in under 1 second on 4G. Progressive rendering for large PDFs.
Offline Support
Review document offline. Sign when connection returns. Auto-syncs.
Audit Trail Auto-Attached
Every signature comes with a certificate of completion showing:
- Timestamp of when document was sent, viewed, and signed
- IP address and device information
- Email verification confirmation
- Full audit log of all actions
Legally binding. Court admissible. Automatically generated. No extra steps.
Multiple Signer Paths
Different documents need different signing flows. Unlayered supports them all:
Sequential Signing
Person A signs first → Person B gets notified → Person B signs → Document complete
Use case: Manager approval before employee signature
Parallel Signing
All signers receive the document simultaneously → Sign in any order → Document complete when all sign
Use case: Partnership agreements, co-borrower loans
In-Person Signing
Multiple people sign on the same device → Pass device between signers → Each signs their fields
Use case: Walk-in appointments, counter signing

Built for Everyday Work
Not every document needs enterprise grade features. Most need speed. Unlayered delivers.
