Astropad Slate
iPad / Productivité
Turn your iPad into a no-screen pen tablet! Interact with your Mac via your iPad and Apple Pencil:
- Drawing input: Replace your pen tablet with your iPad. Draw into your favorite desktop creative programs using your Apple Pencil.
- Mouse & trackpad: Use your Apple Pencil or finger as a cursor to navigate your Mac desktop. It’s like using your iPad as a giant trackpad!
- Gestures: Use one and two-finger touch gestures on iPad to scroll and zoom on your Mac.
- Handwriting input: Your handwriting on your iPad transforms into text on your Mac. Write into Slate’s handwriting input box on iPad, and typed text will appear on your Mac.
Select how your cursor moves on your iPad:
- Mouse Mode (Relative positioning): Your iPad acts like a giant trackpad, and your cursor moves freely about your Mac display.
- Screen-mapping (Absolute positioning): The entire screen of your iPad scales to map your whole Mac display. The mapping is adjustable, similar to a traditional pen tablet.
Slate works with all Apple Pencils. For newer Apple Pencils, Slate supports hover functionality.

- Move cursor: Move your Apple Pencil over the surface of the iPad.
- Click: Tap your Apple Pencil to the screen to click.
