  • Weylus

    Use your tablet as graphic tablet/touch screen on your computer.

  • Try Weylus, it is a web-based solution, so it should work on any device that uses a stylus and a browser (e.g. a Surface). The best part is, it only needs server-side setup.

  • FreeRDP

    FreeRDP is a free remote desktop protocol library and clients

  • Interestingly, the RDP protocol does have support for sending stylus pressure but FreeRDP does not implement the client end (and I assume other linux RDP clients don't either).

  • WorkOS

    The modern identity platform for B2B SaaS. The APIs are flexible and easy-to-use, supporting authentication, user identity, and complex enterprise features like SSO and SCIM provisioning.
