Narrative:

Flight planning for flight airport ZZZ-ZZZ1 on the company pilot mobile app on my company ipad. I signed in to pilot mobile; selected flight xx; and signed off as fit for duty. I was selecting flight plan; and noticed that a flight plan was already displayed without me having to go to the flight plan manager. When I scrolled through to look at the flight plan; I noticed that the flight was signed off with my name and ZZZ1. I had not logged into the system to even look at the flight plan let alone accept the release. My first officer said he hadn't gone in to the system yet; and I called dispatch and they said they hadn't signed it off either. In fact; they hadn't generated a flight plan yet. So I looked again and noticed that the flight was from ZZZ-ZZZ1 but it was for august X... Today is august X+2. I had noticed yesterday that one of my flights was signed off without me looking at it yet; but I thought the dispatcher had done it because I had trouble logging in; and had called to talk to them. It appears that somehow pilot mobile and/or sabre is automatically signing my release for me. And I have no idea why the flight plan for a flight 2 days from now automatically propagated to my pilot mobile app. I finally was able to get the correct flight plan and signed it off in sabre and we departed without incident. But good thing I noticed....
