Magic – Drawing and AI
Draw with your trackpad and AI
Only for Mac
Free · In-App Purchases
Unlock the extraordinary potential of your computer with Magic, a one-of-a-kind drawing app. Harnessing the power of Mac technology, Magic lets you use your fingertips or stylus to turn your trackpad into your own drawing tablet.
A few of the key features:
• Ditch the drawing tablet and draw with great precision
Use built-in or connected trackpads as a Magic drawing tablet, or use a conventional drawing method.
• Unleash your art with AI
Use an amazing built-in AI assistant powered by Stable Diffusion to improve your own artworks – or create completely new ones.*
• Built-in pressure sensitivity
Use the Force Touch trackpad's pressure-sensitive surface to fine-tune your strokes.
• Customize your brush
Configure fill styles, size, pressure and opacity settings to create the perfect brush.
• Use layers and pages
Use layers to level up your creations, or turn them into pages and view your project as a sketchbook.*
*Full functionality requires a paid subscription.

more Only the cursor drawing works. The touch and click drawing don't seem to work. The stroke is stuck on the left bottom of the trackpad boundary, despite of where I click.

- No more confusion: now you can press "esc" to exit any drawing mode – without having to think about the correct keyboard shortcut.
- Layer renaming has been slightly redesigned and improved.
- Drawing performance has been improved once again. When a stroke finishes, the source image now updates instantly.

Thanks for keeping up!

THE AI UPDATE (v3.0) of Magic is finally here!
Hello there! It's been quite a while since we last connected. Over the past few months, I've dedicated my free time to completely rebuilding Magic from the ground up. The result? An optimized and revamped version that is bound to leave you awestruck.
Allow me to highlight some of the exciting new features:
• Introducing MagicAI: A brand new AI assistant powered by Stable Diffusion that can elevate your artwork to new heights or even assist you in creating entirely new images. The possibilities are truly limitless, and I'm eager for you to experience it firsthand! To begin, just select the glowing sparkle icon on the toolbar once the update is done.
• Cursor drawing: You can now utilize any pointing device, such as a mouse, to draw in the same familiar way you're accustomed to.
• Expanded drawing canvas: Magic projects have been expanded in size, accompanied by an intuitive new interface that allows for seamless utilization of your trackpad for drawing.
• Additional language support: Magic now speaks Brazilian Portuguese, and we would greatly appreciate your assistance in translating Magic to your preferred language through the Magic Localization Initiative – more info on that very soon!
• Subscription options: Introducing Magic+ and Magic Unlimited, available in multiple subscription tiers as well as lifetime purchase options.
I hope you're as thrilled as I am about this update. This one took so long to create and polish – and I believe it's set to empower your artistic endeavors like never before.
Give it a try – and let the magic unfold!
Thanks!

THE GRADIENTS UPDATE (v2.2) of Magic is now among us.
It's honestly the coolest one yet (and also incredibly colorful!)
• This update brings new gradient styling options to your drawing brushes. Choose between seven beautiful predefined gradients or create your own in the gradient editor with a purchase of Magic+. It will also allow you to manage and save your favorite gradients, so that you can use them with other projects at a later time. Scaling and autoreverse options help you create even more ambitious styles.
• General design and performance improvements were made to the option menus.
• A new copying feature was added to the layers/pages sidebar.
• Stay awesome!
Thank you once again for the continuous support of Magic and my craft.
Thank you, thank you, thank you.
2.2 27/09/2021
This small update only enables the purchase of Magic+ inside the app.
Release notes for version 2.0 can be found in the App Store product page. Enjoy!
2.1 13/09/2021
IT'S. FINALLY. HERE.
After a long time waiting, Magic 2.0 has arrived with a bunch of new cool and essential features and changes.
Let's go through some of them:
• A complete rewrite of the logic and storage systems so that the app becomes smoother, while still being compatible with older versions.
• A new Click drawing mode that allows for more precise drawings. (also, Drawing mode has been renamed to Touch drawing mode)
• A new, non-intrusive tutorial to teach the very basics to first-time users.
• A revamped splash screen, a custom about screen and also an entirely new preferences pane.
→ In the new preferences pane, you can:
• Set a couple of new settings, such as the canvas appearance and the default drawing mode.
• Get Magic+, a single in-app purchase that will give you access to all of the plus features, forever.
• More buttons (and keyboard shortcuts!) in the Menu bar.
• An eraser. Finally. Oh, and it's shiny.
• Improved option menus and improved undo and redo.
• A refreshed app icon and a new custom document icon.
• LAYERS!
Now you can manage up to 35 layers* in the new sidebar and level-up your creations.
Or you can turn them into pages, if you prefer. This makes your project work kinda like a sketchbook.
*up to 5 layers without Magic+.
• You can also drag and drop layers to move or export them individually to other applications.
...as well as many other teeny tiny changes.
Again, thank you so much for the support.
I love you, and I hope y'all enjoy this version.
