I'd like to give you the good news about the new Tablet App for Mac, a free, open-source app that gets older Wacom tablets working again on Apple Silicon Macs.

The problem this app solves

Wacom's last driver for the Wacom Intuos4 tablets (version 6.3.41, from 2020) only supports macOS 11 Big Sur and earlier. Plenty of artists and designers still have these tablets, and the hardware works perfectly well, but on a modern Mac the Wacom driver no longer runs.

The new Tablet App for Mac takes over where the old Wacom driver left off. It's laid out like the original Wacom interface and settings, so there's nothing new to learn:

• Pen pressure with a Soft to Firm tip feel, side buttons, eraser and tilt
• ExpressKeys and the Touch Ring
• Screen mapping
• Different settings for each app and pen
• A Scribble canvas to test pressure
• Lives in the top Mac menu bar and, if you choose to, can start quietly at login
• Eight GUI languages

It's free and open source (GPL-3.0), with no tracking.

It runs on Apple Silicon Macs with macOS 15 or later. It's been tested with a Wacom Intuos4 on the latest macOS 27.0.1 Golden Gate, and we welcome reports from owners of other models.

What's next

We improve the app on a daily basis. Users can choose between the current stable version and the BETA, and even downgrade to an earlier version right inside the app.

At work they are throwing away some old junk and among the electronics stuff there is this complete in box old cintiq.

I don’t work with digital art, but I remember in high school 15 years ago or so I saw these online and thought they looked amazing. Ended up getting a wacom bamboo pen and touch I believe back then.

Would be cool if anyone here knows how to make it work with this on a win 11 pc

Hi everyone! I’ve rewritten Tablet Center as a native Rust app using egui.

I started this project because I wanted macOS-style pen scrolling with my Wacom on GNOME Wayland: hold a pen button and drag the tip across the tablet to scroll while the cursor stays in place.

It also includes:

• Pen button and ExpressKey assignments
• Pressure and click sensitivity settings
• Screen mapping and per-app profiles
• On-screen radial menus and shortcut panels
• Pen gestures for scrolling, panning, and zooming
• Settings backups

The new app runs without a WebView or WebKitGTK.

It requires GNOME 48 or later on Wayland and an x86_64 PC. I’ve tested it with my Intuos S CTL-4100, but I’d appreciate feedback from people using other Wacom models.

It’s free, open source, and an unofficial project:

If you give it a try, let me know your tablet model and how it works for you. Bug reports and suggestions are welcome!

I own a Wacom Intuos CTH-680. It’s incredible and I’ve been using it for years. Recently, I got a new PC (old one was Windows 10, new one is Windows 11) and tried installing the newest drivers for Wacom. When I opened the app and connected my tablet, it told me that my device was no longer supported. I need my drawing tablet for my animation course ASAP and don’t have time to wait for a new tablet to arrive. Is there an old driver that I can download for Windows 11? Is it safe for the health of my PC to download an old diver? Sorry if the question is stupid, I’m bad with computers

I'm currently deciding between the MoveinkPad 11 and the samsung galaxy s10 FE.

I am a hobbyist in terms of drawing so I also want to use whichever device for planning in Penly. I know the MoveinkPad is android so it should work no problems but I haven't seen anyone mention planning on it as obviously the main focus is drawing.

Has anyone used their MoveinkPad for planning as well as drawing? On a side note is it good as an e reader with the paper like matte screen?

I know it's a drawing tablet but I would like to use it for these other simple things if I'm spending that much money as the Samsung tablet is basically the same price on Amazon and I know the processor etc is actually better.

This is a very specific question, but I'm hoping to use my Cintiq Pro 27 as both my everyday work monitor and my drawing tablet. It will be mounted to a XOOT Pro. When working (in a non-art-related field), I'll keep the XOOT in its fully-upright position and I'm hoping to place a BenQ ScreenBar Halo 2 on top. I'm just not sure the backlight and clamp will fit between the back of the Cintiq and the XOOT arm. Here's a very crude mock-up that makes me think it may actually work? Anyone tried this?

I use krita and I'm thinking about moving on from my 11 year old cintiq13 hd. What's the experience like with the Movinkpad11? I mostly use it for painting game textures ATM and the odd bit of blender

I dropped it and one of the buttons fell off; bummer but no big deal, I didn’t use that button too much anyways… but now another one has fallen off (for seemingly no reason this time) and makes the pen basically unusable (It can still draw but not having the shortcut is unbelievably frustrating) I tried to place the button back in the hole and when I do they still seem functional; but they won’t stay in; and will just fall out again.. is there any way to fix it? I’m worried attempting anything with glue will just break the pen beyond repair

Btw poor english.

I thinked should new tablet. Mine oldest tablet is "wacom intuos 4" and still work.

Feel it's so old if need new. I love "4A paper" size tablet.

Do new size call Wacom Intuos Pro "medium" is same old intuos 4 , right?

Just to say everything it went well.

I can't see any noticeable differences, there are better Google options for account management.

More importantly there are no issues, I am aware of the placebo effect with performance, everything looks smooth.

Hey so i want to buy Wacom One Pen S but i can't find its specification anywhere in my country's shop. I would like to know things like IAF (initial activation force) and if this support tilt. Thanks!!

I updated it and it doesn't work.

anybody have a "ACK43912Z 3-in-1 Cable" that they can take a photo of the connector, the one that plugs into the back of the tablet trying to figure out if mine is broken.

Hi, question on if extended warranty is transferable between Wacom accounts?
I was gifted a Cintiq with warranty added, if I ever need to use warranty in the future. Will I need to contact the original buyer for warranty information or ownership?

Happened after a driver update a few years ago. Started small at first then just stopped working. My assumption is that because Wacom is an EVIL company that has stop supporting their older hardware, they updated the driver to FORCE those on older hard ware to shell out 2k for their NEW products, cause they're like MEGA ANTI-CONSUMER.... Drivers are up to date there is nothing that can be done. And you CAN'T get replacement pens for Cintiq 13 HDs anymore-- again because evil cooperation reasons. heccin' corpo rats.....

I love the touch on my iPad Pro and was wondering if the Wacom Cintiq 24 Touch is close to that experience?

I've read about issues with the touch on MacOS but not Win11.

Is wearing a glove necessary?

I wanted to create something new with my Wacom One and the display appears on the wacom, but there's no detecting the pen. Using the utility it says no wacom connected.

Anyone else have this issue?

Mac Tahoe 26.6.2, Wacom One - DTC133W0, Tablet driver updated to 6.4.15-1

Which is better? I honestly don't know but don't wanna spend the money on a drawing tablet without it being an upgrade of some sort.

Hi, I picked up a Cintiq 16 (2025). Almost everything works great! I was wondering if anyone else is having the same software problem I am.

Connected to an M4 MacBook running 27.2 and Wacom driver 6.15.4-1, Wacom Center crashes whenever I try to make changes to the onscreen radial menu. App closes and spits out this error message:

I contacted Wacom support and they had me reinstall the software. No change.

Is there anyone with any insights? THX

someone who tries can tell about that, cause a made a research and it just says is for the 2023 version

I’m currently looking for a new drawing tablet, because my iPad I have is old and doesn’t have pen pressure and I would like a good upgrade. I was going to get XXpen Android drawing tablet but found out it is not a good choice. I looked on Wacom’s website and saw the portable tablets, but which one is the best one? I’ve never owned anything Wacom before so it’s new to me, and also wanted to ask if they all use google play, cause the way I currently pay for my subscriptions (for ibisPaint) is via gift cards since I currently don’t have my own debit/credit card.

Hi,

Can anyone please help me with this issue? I’ve no idea why my art pen lines come out like this in every program? It doesn’t matter what I draw in or what the pressure curve is. What’s wrong with it? It was just purchased yesterday.
