No.

The Adonit Pixel works with a small subset of Apple Pencil compatible apps ( approx 2 dozen of the more popular sketching/drawing/painting/notes apps ).

To get the most up to date installed firmware, order one of these directly from Adonit.

Also, there are many pairing and setup options in Adonit compatible apps that need to get setup for the Pixel within these apps.

You just do not just writng with the Pixel as soon as you take it out of the box.


Good Luck to You!

Here’s my “up to date”, comprehensive, but still incomplete, list of Adonit Pixel/Pixel Pro compatible apps for the

iPad/iPad Pro.


Most apps listed support pressure sensing and palm rejection.


Compatible Adonit Pixel apps for drawing


Animation Desk


Amaziograph


Adobe Photoshop Sketch

( palm rejection ONLY, No pressure, no sensing/line variations )


ArtRage


Art Studio Pro

( fully supports the Adonit Pixel and is just as great as Procreate on the iPad )


AutoDesk SketchBook


Colored Pencil


Comic Draw


Concepts


Interactive SketchBook


Medibang Paint


ProCreate

( unofficially supported but all Bluetooth stylus features all still work, palm rejection improved using special, non- body electrical conducting, lycra-based material drawing glove )

Tayasui Sketches/Sketches Pro

( the new, free Tayasui Sketches School version works with this stylus, but without any palm rejection or pressure sensing, so you need to use a special, non-electrical conducting drawing glove with the Sketches School version to lay your hand/palm down on the iPad’s screen )


ZenBrush/Zen Brush 2



Compatible Adonit Pixel apps for Notes and Notes with

drawing types of apps.


GoodNotes


Notability

( palm rejection noticeably improved using special, non-body electrical conducting, lycra-based material drawing glove )


Note Shelf


Notes Plus


QuickNotes X Pro


uPad


Zoom Notes


PDF Pen


This stylus works with other non-compatible apps, too, but without any palm rejection and/or pressure features.


You can use this stylus with other apps but will not be able to lay your palm on the screen, unless you use special,

non-body electrical conducting, lycra-based material drawing glove that works by isolating your hand/palm and allow you

to lay your hand/palm on the screen as you draw in these non-compatible Adonit stylus apps.


Something like this, as an example.

If interested in this stylus, to make sure you get the latest installed stylus firmware, you must order the Adonit Pixel stylus directly from the Adonit website.


Good Luck to You!
