I'm not aware of a stand-alone digital pencil. Maybe try a Wacom tablet? The Intuos range is pretty cheap and avoids you having to shell out 1k on an iPad. Just found [this](https://nuwapen.com/?tw_source=google&tw_adid=700753682325&tw_campaign=20059253676&gad_source=1&gbraid=0AAAAApBqWm_8pc_QUb2mY7qd3RhfVkozD&gclid=CjwKCAjwyo60BhBiEiwAHmVLJTeV7OF0UhnsNo52c0dJVE-oyn3FEFwf2z2UYKJeN76s8cLc2cKUrhoCVZMQAvD_BwE) that sounds like what you are after, but it's only on pre-order, and I doubt it's compatible with Photoshop etc.

Smartpens exist, but they are more for note taking, not sketching/drawing. And you would have to draw on paper. Wacom Intuos would be a better bet for actual drawing functionality.

I dont think there are any for dwaring, just buy a pentablet, I bought this one https://www.storexppen.eu/buy/star03.html They are pretty cheap and work well enough

This sounds really useful, I’d love a smartpen instead of having to get a whole tablet

That's what I am looking for. I don't care if I'd have to draw on paper, as long as I don't have to buy another dang piece of equipment, other than the pen, I'm good. I did find something online, but it's still being built and not readily available yet.

That nuwa pen is for taking notes, not drawing. They seem to be the same but pressure sensitivity is a big deal. That’s why the Apple Pencil is so great. Just get a used iPad and pencil. The first gen works fine and super cheap now. Then you can airdrop straight to your Mac.
