Your iPad is a pen display.
Draw with Apple Pencil straight into the apps on your PC or Mac.
How InkTether works
- Draw on
your iPad. - The stroke leaves
the screen… - …rides the cable,
or the air… - …and lands in the app you already use.

A few things
to know.
Do I need Wi-Fi?
No. A USB cable works on its own. Wi-Fi is optional; put both devices on the same network and pair once with a code. Wi-Fi sessions are encrypted.
Does it replace my drawing app?
No. InkTether shows your computer’s screen on the iPad and sends Pencil strokes back. Keep your desktop apps, brushes, layers and files right where they are.
Does pressure work on Mac?
Yes. Enhanced input, the default on Mac, sends pressure and tilt to supported apps. InkTether falls back to mouse control by itself if a Mac can’t use it. Windows uses Windows Ink, with mouse control for apps without pen support.
Do I need an account?
No account, no cloud. Nothing goes through a server.
What does it cost?
$5 at launch. Free during the beta. One price, no subscription.
Is it finished?
InkTether is in public beta. Things may change, and feedback is welcome. Download links will appear here when they’re ready.
