Air Stylus Pairs Your iPad and Stylus with Your Computer


iPad/Mac: The iPad is a great little drawing tool on its own, and a pressure sensitive stylus can make that experience even better. If you want to extend that even more, Air Stylus is an app that lets you use your iPad and stylus as a drawing tablet for apps on your Mac.


Air Stylus uses the same tech as Air Display, which turns your iPad into a second monitor for your computer. In this case, it turns your iPad into a drawing tablet. You don't get a ton of options for how it works, but you can turn on palm rejection and set up a couple of keyboard shortcuts. For the most part, Air Stylus works as expected, but there is some lag that'll make it tough to use for precision stuff. The lag's fairly comparable to Air Display, so if you've used that before you'll know what to expect. Still, as a fairly cheap way to connect your iPad and pressure-sensitive stylus to your computer, it does the job.
