Why NFiDB exists

This has been
a long time coming.

I am tired of the iPad being the best drawing device on the market, but the most power-user-unfriendly one when it comes to moving files, doing basic tasks that would be free on Android or Windows, or even just using it as a secondary monitor.

NFiDB is an attempt to steal back some of our freedom and allow the device to be used how we see fit.

It will make your iPad useful into the future, even if it is just as a backup drawing tablet.

The major impetus was to be able to draw on my laptop using Rebelle and Krita without needing to haul around an extra graphics tablet while I traveled.

Let this be just the first of future tools that allow us to actually use the wonderful hardware we purchased in the way we want to use it—without subscriptions.

The functional goal

Basic functionality should not be a subscription.

NFiDB is meant to functionally replace Astropad Studio, EasyCanvas, Duet, SuperDisplay, and—to some extent—spacedesk.

Props to them. Get that bread. But I am not paying a subscription for this incredibly basic functionality, and you should not have to, either.
