The Astropad Slate app is a tool for creative professionals alike to use as a way to extend their laptop capabilities when drawing, designing, writing and more. The iPad app works by transforming the Apple-branded tablet into a drawing tablet to eliminate the need for a separate peripheral. The app will immediately go to work capturing the movements of the Apple Pencil on the display to let users draw, handwrite, perform various gestures, extend their mouse and trackpad functionalities, and more.
The Astropad Slate app will connect with a computer over WiFi, a USB connection or even peer-to-peer networking to help users enjoy an intuitive setup. The app is great for extending workstation capabilities with existing devices to accommodate professionals looking to reduce the amount of equipment they have or work on passion projects without having to opt for pro-grade alternatives.
