App Store IDs Hint at iPad Versions of Pixelmator Pro, Motion, Compressor, and MainStage

Apple has not confirmed the ports, leaving key details unresolved.

Overview

  • New App Store identifiers spotted by MacRumors contributor Aaron Perris suggest iPad builds of Pixelmator Pro, Compressor, Motion, and MainStage.
  • Multiple outlets, including 9to5Mac, Cult of Mac, and The Mac Observer, reported the findings after Perris shared the IDs on X.
  • All four titles are currently Mac-only and would expand on Apple’s prior move to bring Final Cut Pro and Logic Pro to select iPads in 2023.
  • Pricing remains an open question, as these apps are one-time purchases on macOS while Final Cut Pro and Logic Pro require iPad subscriptions at $4.99 per month or $49 per year in the U.S.
  • No release timing has been announced, and a common venue for such news—the Final Cut Pro Creative Summit—has been postponed until spring 2026.
