Magic Screen transforms your MacBook display into a touchscreen. With the included stylus, it’s easily the most versatile MacBook ever.
If you have ever found yourself reaching out to tap your MacBook screen only to remember it does not support touch, Intricuit has developed a seamless solution. Launching on Kickstarter, Magic Screen is an ultra compact magnetic overlay that transforms your MacBook into a fully functional touchscreen and drawing tablet. By snapping perfectly onto your existing display, it brings pressure sensitive stylus support and intuitive touch gestures to your workflow without requiring any permanent modifications.
PROJECT OVERVIEW
Name and Creator Magic Screen The First Snap On Touchscreen for Your MacBook by Intricuit.
What It Is Magic Screen is a sleek tempered glass overlay that magnetically attaches to Apple M series and Neo MacBooks. It instantly adds 10 point multi touch and stylus support, allowing you to sketch, zoom, and navigate directly on your screen.
KEY FEATURES
Magnetic Installation The screen snaps on and off effortlessly using built in magnets. It is designed to sit perfectly flush with the MacBook display so you can use it in tight spaces like airplanes or coffee shops.
Dual Operating Modes You can use it attached to the laptop as a native feeling touchscreen or detach it to use as a standalone drawing tablet for better ergonomics during long creative sessions.
Included Smart Stylus The device supports the included pressure sensitive pen featuring 4096 pressure levels, pencil hover, and palm rejection for pixel perfect illustration and note taking.
Smudge Free Display Because the Magic Screen handles all the physical input, your actual MacBook screen remains completely free of fingerprints and smudges.
Multifunctional Folio Case To prevent the screen from wobbling when you tap it, the included Folio Case braces against the laptop. It also serves as a protective carrying pouch and a supportive base when used in drawing tablet mode.
Durable Tempered Glass The overlay is crafted from premium tempered glass that is thin enough to flex safely when the laptop is closed but tough enough to withstand accidental impacts.
REWARDS
Kickstarter Pricing Early backers can secure the Magic Screen by pledging to the campaign, ensuring they get the device well ahead of the broader retail market.
Options Backers must choose the correct size for their specific 13, 14, 15, or 16 inch MacBook model. There is also an optional 15 dollar upgrade for a matte anti glare coating.
Delivery The team is currently finalizing mass production and aims to begin shipping out rewards globally starting in late August.
CONCEPT
The core concept is Seamless Touch Integration. The creators at Intricuit believe that adding touch to a laptop should not require buying a completely new machine or carrying bulky external monitors. By designing a protective, removable layer that handles all the touch data, they aim to give Mac users the freedom to interact with their favorite apps naturally while keeping the sleek footprint of the original device.
INSPIRATION
The project was inspired by the realization that while MacBooks continue to become incredibly powerful year after year, the actual experience of interacting with them has grown somewhat ordinary. The small startup team wanted to bring a sense of magic back to the Apple ecosystem. They spent two years developing and refining prototypes to prove that a focused team could deliver a highly useful, unexpected tool that makes people genuinely excited to use their computers again.
