Magma is completely browser-based, meaning that it will work on any device that has a browser, including iPads.

Recommended browser: Safari

Recommended memory: at least 4 GB RAM

1. Make sure you're using the latest version of iPadOS and Safari

2. Connect your Apple Pencil

3. Go to Apple Pencil section of your iPad settings and disable the Scribble feature

4. If you're in Low Power mode, switch it off

5. For a better experience, check out the gestures section below

In the application settings, you will find a range of customizable touch gestures. It's recommended that you set One-Finger drag to none if you are using an Apple Pencil to draw.

You'll be able to set gestures of up to five fingers. These include actions such as pan and zoom, color picking, toggling the UI, undo and redo, and changing tool parameters like opacity and size.

The Disable Touch setting will ignore any touch input from your fingers on both the canvas and the rest of the UI. You can only use your pen to activate the UI.

Disable touch gestures will disable touch for the canvas only, but you can still use fingers to interact with the rest of the UI like for selecting different tools or flipping the canvas.

Magma has a wide array of keyboard shortcuts. Pairing a wireless keyboard might make your experience of Magma smoother and more like being back at your computer.

Adjusting the browser zoom will significantly improve how much space you have for the canvas. Tap the aA button in the address bar of Safari and then the smaller A to decrease the browser zoom.
