PadPad — Graphics Tablet
Graphics & Design
Free · Designed for iPad. Not verified for macOS.
PadPad turns your iPad and Apple Pencil into a real graphics tablet for your computer. Draw directly into Photoshop, Krita, Clip Studio Paint, Affinity, Blender and any other desktop app that supports a drawing tablet — with genuine pressure, tilt, barrel roll, hover and eraser, exactly as if a pen tablet were plugged in.
Your iPad shows a live stream of your computer's screen. Every Pencil stroke travels back and is injected as driver-grade tablet input, so brush engines respond to pressure the way they should. No drivers inside your art app, no plug-ins, no accounts.
HOW IT WORKS
• Install the free host app on your computer: PadMac for macOS or PadWin for Windows (codonic.dev/apps/pad)
• Open PadPad on the same Wi-Fi — it finds your computer automatically
• Tap to connect, pick up the Pencil and draw. USB-C works too, with even lower latency.
WHAT YOU GET
• Real pressure, tilt and azimuth in any tablet-aware desktop app
• Barrel roll on Apple Pencil Pro, hover on M2 and later iPads
• A true eraser pointer — pro apps switch tools automatically
• A pressure curve you can shape, with smoothing you can tune
• Magic gestures: taps and hold-while-drawing mapped per desktop app
• Double-tap and squeeze actions, configurable per app
• Quick keys and latched modifiers (Cmd, Shift, Option, Control)
• Mirror your display or extend it as a second screen
• Hardware-encoded low-latency video tuned for drawing
Works over Wi-Fi, USB-C, or a direct device-to-device link with no router at all. Pair with a code, and everything stays on your own network — no account, no cloud in the middle.
Requires the free PadMac host (macOS 15+) or PadWin host (Windows 11) on your computer.
