Astropad Slate vs Astropad Studio

What’s the Difference Between Astropad Slate and Astropad Studio?

Slate turns your iPad into a no-screen pen tablet for Mac. You control your Mac with Apple Pencil on a blank iPad screen mapped to your desktop.

Studio mirrors your Mac or PC display on your iPad, turning it into a full-featured drawing tablet.

Slate is designed to control your Mac with an Apple Pencil — like a pen tablet or trackpad. Use it for web browsing, design, annotation, and more!

Connection Options: Connect over Wi-Fi, Peer-to-Peer, or USB.
Handwriting and Drawing: Write with Apple Pencil in Slate's input box to turn handwriting into text on your Mac. Or draw directly into Mac apps using the blank screen interface.
Mouse Mode & Screen Mapping: Mouse Mode makes your iPad a trackpad with adjustable speed. Screen Mapping scales your iPad to your Mac display, like a pen tablet.
Touch Gestures: Use one- and two-finger gestures to scroll and zoom on your Mac.

Note: Slate and Studio are separate apps and are used individually.
