Stylus maker Adonit releases its first iPad drawing app




Adonit makes some of the best iPad styluses out there, and now it's starting to make an iPad drawing app to help you sketch with them. The app, called Forge, is being released today. It's specifically designed to work with Adonit's pressure-sensitive Jot Touch stylus, but it'll work with any generic stylus and even your finger, too.


Forge is set up to let you iterate on designs and ideas


Forge is a fairly straightforward drawing app with five tools, a quick color selector, and most of the screen left empty for you to sketch on. All of the tools work well and do a good job of translating your marks into smooth and stylish lines, especially when you're using the Jot Touch. Forge's interface has a minimal aesthetic that tries to streamline the process of getting you from opening the app to starting to draw — it should look really familiar to anyone who's used Adobe's Line and Sketch apps before. For the most part, it's as simple as you want it to be while still allowing you to quickly change brush sizes and adjust your color choices.
