Download

Download for Mac (Tablet-App-for-Mac.dmg) — Apple silicon (tested)

  1. Open the downloaded file.
  2. Drag Tablet App for Mac onto the Applications folder.
  3. Open the app from Applications. If your Mac warns you, right-click the app and choose Open. If there is no Open button, go to System Settings › Privacy & Security, scroll down and click Open Anyway.

If you already have Version 7 or later, you can use Check for updates now in the app instead of downloading by hand.

The user manual for Version 16 is attached as a PDF.

Permissions after an update

Each new build can look like a new app to macOS. Turning a permission off and on again is often not enough. Remove Tablet App for Mac from Input Monitoring and from Accessibility (or Device Control and Data Access), then add it again — once in each list — so macOS recognises it.

What is new

  • The touch ring turns the right way. Before, a clockwise turn zoomed out, made the brush smaller and rotated the canvas the wrong way on most Wacom rings. Your ring modes are turned the right way round when the app starts; click Save once to keep it.
  • Ring settings stay changed. With an app selected in the Application row, the On ticks, Function menus and Speed sliders no longer snap back.
  • Speed works everywhere. Smooth zoom is much slower at low Speeds (1 = one zoom step every 180° of ring, 50 about every 30°, 100 on every ring step), and Speed 1 is possible. In apps other than Photoshop and Affinity, smooth modes send their keys at their Speed.
  • Affinity: Smooth zoom (Option + scroll wheel) and Smooth rotate (⌘ + scroll wheel). For rotate, first turn on Enable canvas rotation with ⌘+scroll wheel in Affinity's Settings › Tools.
  • Photoshop: if Smooth zoom moves the canvas up and down instead of zooming, untick Zoom with Scroll Wheel in Photoshop's Settings › Tools.
  • Pen scroll (contributed by ftrabbold): hold a pen button or an ExpressKey and move the pen to scroll, like Wacom's Pan/Scroll. Find it in the button editor under Scroll › Move pen to scroll.
  • Better support for Wacom tablets with limited support (not tested on these tablets yet): the Intuos Pro (PTH-460, PTH-660, PTH-860) ring turns the right way; touch strips on Intuos3 and on the Cintiq 21UX, 12WX and 22HD; the Cintiq 13HD centre button as ExpressKey 9; the Bamboo Fun ring; the Wacom CTK-4120 is newly listed.
  • The Supported tablets list leaves out notes for other operating systems and shows the new status Questionable.
  • The update window is translated in all 8 languages.

Tested as Version 16 BETA 2 before release. Source: tag v16 (branch devin/v16-stable = BETA 2 + the updated manual).
