Audity tools: iPad Pro, Pencil grip & WannaDraw app fuel TikTok fame

Audity tools that power her viral sketches

Audity, real name Audrey Hopkins, has turned a iPad Pro and Apple Pencil into a studio that feeds ↑ 13.2M followers on TikTok. In a candid VidCon 2026 sit‑down, she and husband Richard Conley unpacked the hardware and software that keep her whimsical output flowing. iPad Pro (12.9‑inch, 2020) serves as her canvas; she pairs it with a grip‑enhanced Apple Pencil to stave off carpal strain. “Without the grip I’d be done,” she says, noting frequent braces and compression sleeves. The duo’s custom app WannaDraw generates random mash‑up prompts, a feature born from a 2020 GIF‑search routine that quickly ran dry.

“We built the app at our kitchen table, learning Android and iOS on the fly,”

Conley explains. The app now boasts over ↑ 1M downloads. Audity also streams news feeds and binge‑watches documentaries via a Dropout subscription, which she calls a “creative catalyst.” She credits the mix of background media and her husband’s jokes for the fresh energy behind each sketch. Reuters and Bloomberg are among the sources she monitors for inspiration.
