Getting Started

Set up TabletPen in under 2 minutes. No software to install on your computer.

What You Need

• An Android tablet with a stylus (Samsung Galaxy Tab, Boox, Lenovo, etc.)
• A computer with Bluetooth (Mac, Windows PC, or Chromebook)
• TabletPen installed from Google Play

Step 1: Open the App

Launch TabletPen. On first launch, you’ll see a welcome screen.

Tap Get Started to follow the interactive tutorial, or tap outside to set up on your own.

Step 2: Tap Pair

Tap the Pair button in the top-right corner. This makes your tablet discoverable to nearby computers.

The button changes to Cancel while pairing is active. The “+” indicator in the device selector will pulse to show the tablet is waiting for a connection.

Step 3: Connect from Your Computer

On your computer, open Bluetooth settings:

• Mac: System Settings > Bluetooth
• Windows: Settings > Bluetooth & devices
• Chromebook: Settings > Bluetooth

Find your tablet in the list (it will show its device name, e.g., “Galaxy Tab S9”) and click Connect or Pair.

Step 4: Start Drawing

Once connected, the indicator dot turns solid and the button shows Disconnect. Your pen now controls your computer.

• Pen: Moves the cursor and draws in any app (Photoshop, Krita, OneNote, etc.)
• Fingers: Work as a trackpad — one finger moves the cursor, two fingers scroll
• Pressure & tilt: Supported in apps that use them

Important Notes

• Your computer initiates the connection, not the tablet. Always connect from your computer’s Bluetooth settings.
• If you’ve previously paired your tablet with this computer for other purposes (file transfer, etc.), remove the old pairing first from your computer’s Bluetooth settings, then pair fresh with TabletPen.
• TabletPen works as a standard Bluetooth HID device — no drivers or host software needed on your computer.
