Pens and devices compatible with Nebo

Nebo works smoothly on Windows, iOS, and Android, supporting a variety of pens and devices. Check the list below to see which tools are compatible and get the best note-taking experience for your setup.

Nebo is not compatible with traditional graphic tablets.

Compatible pens

Nebo is designed to work seamlessly with active pens for the best experience, but it also supports passive pens, also called capacitive pens. Using an active pen unlocks added precision by allowing Nebo to distinguish between your pen strokes and touch, something passive pens can’t offer. Active pens are designed for certain devices and can come with the device or be bought separately. Check with your device manufacturer to see if an active pen is included.

For the best experience with Nebo, we recommend using an active pen. If you can’t use an active pen, update your settings in preferences. Check the Manage your settings article for guidance.

Compatible devices

Nebo supports devices running iOS 16.0 or later (non-beta versions). For an optimal experience with Nebo, we recommend having at least 6GB of RAM. See below a list of supported iPad and Mac devices to check Nebo compatibility.
