Compatibility
We only list something as tested once we have used it ourselves on real hardware. Everything else is marked honestly.

iPad and Apple Pencil
Tracello needs iPadOS 18 or later. It is built and tested with Apple Pencil Pro.
| iPad | Pencil | Status |
|---|---|---|
| iPad Pro 13″ (M5) | Apple Pencil Pro | Tested |
| iPad Pro 11″ (M5) | Apple Pencil Pro | Not yet tested |
| iPad Pro 11″ and 13″ (M4) | Apple Pencil Pro | Not yet tested |
| iPad Air 11″ and 13″ (M2 and later) | Apple Pencil Pro | Not yet tested |
| iPad mini (A17 Pro) | Apple Pencil Pro | Not yet tested |
| iPads that work with it | Apple Pencil (2nd generation) | Not yet tested |
Squeeze needs Apple Pencil Pro. Styluses without pressure, such as Apple Pencil (USB-C) and most third-party pens, cannot draw with pressure in your apps.
Mac
The Mac companion runs on Macs with Apple silicon.
| Mac | macOS | Status |
|---|---|---|
| MacBook Air (M2) | macOS 26 | Tested |
| Other Apple silicon Macs | macOS 15 or later | Not yet tested |
Drawing apps
What "tested" means here: pressure changes the stroke, hovering moves the pointer without painting, tilt reaches tilt-aware brushes, modifier keys work alongside the Pencil, and nothing stays stuck after the connection drops.
| App | Pressure | Hover | Tilt | Modifiers | Status |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Adobe Photoshop 2026 (27.10) | Yes | Yes | Yes | Yes | Testing |
| Adobe Illustrator | – | – | – | – | Testing |
| Krita | – | – | – | – | Testing |
Photoshop stays at "Testing" until the connection-loss and long-session checks are finished.
Connections
| Connection | Tablet mode | Display mode (Pro) |
