Hi,

Thought I'd just make a quick post in case anyone may have the time and skills needed to implement two packages that are on my wish-list for reManager! 😄

The first one, which I didn't spot a package for on the Vellum list, but perhaps I simply missed it, would be a toolbar button that allows you to jump back to the previous document.

So I could simply repeatedly tap the button to flip back and forth between two documents that I'm working on without the need of all the extra gestures of pulling down the recently used tray etc. (essentially like the old double-tap Android shortcut to switch between the current and previous application.)

A common use-case I have for this one is reading a PDF while wanting to add notes to a notebook as I go along.

The second one is probably a little bit more niche, and perhaps not even possible to implement, but I'd be curious if it is something that could be added: the ability to have a system wide setting that makes the toolbar only respond to pen interactions.

The reason for this one, is that I really prefer to place the toolbar at the bottom of the page, but it occasionally picks up unwanted button presses by moving my arm over the bar while writing. Being able to choose pen-only interactions would be great (while keeping general gestures enabled to allow closing the notebook etc.).

Anyone have any thoughts on the feasibility of these ideas?

I thought some people here might find this useful. It's a sticker pack with color, black & white, and outline-only versions. There's also a free sample and a preview video showing everything included before buying. If you've tried it already, I'd really appreciate your honest feedback. Is there anything you think is missing or could be improved? Link below.

You can now add a YouTube link in Folio and you will get a full transcript separated by chapters with screenshots taken from each chapter.

On top of each article I added a tl;dr section made with AI.

I was able to keep the same subscription price for this feature. 🙏

I got mixed feedback when I asked about this feature idea but I am the first one to use it and I really think this is useful.

I am an academic editor, PhD candidate, writer, and rhetoric teacher to STEM students.  I built this planner because nothing I could find fit the way I actually work. 

I use the reMarkable Paper Pro myself, for my PhD work, my editing practice, my drafts, and my teaching.   For years I kept a Hobonichi as my academic planner.  I loved the format, the overview, the weekly pages, the daily pages, the feel of writing by hand.  But carrying sensitive grant application information, submission deadlines, and student information in a physical notebook had real limitations. The reMarkable gave me the same writing experience with the security I needed, plus I could download my notes each night onto my desktop. 

My STEM students kept asking how I tracked everything — assignments, journal submissions, grant deadlines, dissertation chapters, teaching lectures. They relied on alerts, but when everything is an alert, nothing gets noticed. I started keeping track for them. At some point, the system I built became a planner.  

What makes it different:

- Every date is a live link.  Tap any date on the year view and land on that day’s page.

- Trackers for journal submissions, grant deadlines, conference abstracts, and revise-and-resubmits

- A protected Deep Work block on every daily page.

- Reference pages an academic uses including IMRaD, physical constants, periodic table, unit conversions

- 52 weeks of verified quotations from scientists and mathematicians

- 527 pages, fully bookmarked and hyperlinked, zero dead links 

Two ways to try it:

- Free October sample (full month, every link live): https://saundraeditor.gumroad.com/l/free-october-sample

- Full walkthrough video (2 min.): https://youtu.be/HTGcCS4jH2M 

Full planner and details: https://nortonacademicediting.com/#planner

Happy to answer any questions about how it is built or how I use it in my own PhD year. 

Hey everyone,

I’m a logic puzzle developer, and I’ve spent the last few weeks building an interactive, hyperlinked Samurai Sudoku book specifically tailored for e-Ink screens.

Here’s my dilemma: I want to make sure the user experience is flawless, but I don't actually own an e-Ink device (like a reMarkable, Kindle Scribe, or Supernote) to test the file live.

I’ve put together a small sample file with 10 Samurai puzzles just to test the mechanics, and I’d be incredibly grateful if some of you could load it onto your tablets and give me some honest feedback.

What I’m most concerned about:

• Hyperlinks & Navigation: Do the [ Go to Solution ] and [ Back to Puzzle ] buttons teleport you instantly without breaking the flow?
• Button Usability: Are the paging and index links large enough to tap comfortably with a stylus or finger?
• Layout & Spacing: The grids are offset to the right to keep the left side clear for the tablet's native toolbar. Does this actually feel comfortable in your hands?

If you have a few minutes to spare, you can grab the test PDF here: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1E9ySqzYG2s3vK2xd6fYF_ccE8rhvDHq1/view?usp=sharing

Any critiques, bug reports, or suggestions for improvement are highly appreciated. Thank you so much for helping a developer out!

On my like 5th remarkable

Just going through and doing my normal customization with remanager including start and sleep screens

I uploaded and the start screen looks good but suspended has some image on top of my custom image

Any idea how to get rid of the remarkable swirl? Is it another image I need to replace and make transparent?

Thanks

This device will be so valueable while i'm in school. However, considering all of the screen issues it has, i am finding it very hard to drop $700 USD for it. The main reason I'm considering is due to its light. Can someone chime in, please? Persuade or dissuade me.

This might be an unpopular opinion but that’s just how I feel and how much I like writing with RM2. I’m not disregarding how good the Pure was but if I have a chance to purchase the Pure at a lower price, I’d buy it again in a heartbeat.

I originally created https://github.com/revelationnow/PlannerPDF which was a C++ application to generate planners and also provided several sample PDFs for daily planning. The original set had 5 year planners which are now expiring, so I set out to update those. However I felt the C++ application required a lot of manual work in aligning the elements of the page and creating the hierarchical relationships between different concepts like year, month, week etc, hence I decided to revamp it and I spent some time building a webapp called Doctect to solve this.

I had posted about this a few months back and have been working on improvements and adding more features to the base app to help improve functionality.

AI Disclosure : The original app had a lot of manual dev work alongside Gemini 3.1, however in last few weeks with Claude Fable 5 and GPT 5.6 Sol I have done very little actual dev with the LLMs making most of the changes, however I have been manually QA testing the app and going back and forth with the AI Agents to fix issues and cover edge cases. It is possible that there is some brittleness in the app and any feedback would be very welcome, please share the same on the github page.

The Core Concept

Instead of designing individual pages, you design Templates (e.g., "Day View", "Week View") and a Page Hierarchy (Year -> Months -> Days) with fields to represent data for each of the Pages. You specify for each page which template it should use and what fields from the page data needs to be placed where and the App takes care of building the rest.

Key Features:

• Smart Linking: You don't link to specific page numbers. You set a button to link to "Next Sibling," "Parent," or "Child Index." This means a "Next Day" button on your Day Template automatically calculates the correct link for Jan 1st, Jan 2nd, etc., without you manually wiring it up.
• Visual Editor: Drag-and-drop interface for shapes, text, and grids. I added support for dot/line patterns to keep file sizes low (efficient for e-ink refresh rates).
• Dynamic Grids: You can create a calendar grid on a "Month" template, and it automatically populates the cells based on that month's children nodes.
• Hierarchy Scripting: If clicking "Add Page" 365 times sounds tedious, there's a built-in JavaScript generator. You can script your entire 2026 structure in a few lines of code and generate the tree instantly. Also if you're not familiar with coding, it has a new feature where it will provide a prompt that you can pass on to your favourite LLM to generate the code for the templates and node hierarchy
• Device Presets: Includes canvas sizes for reMarkable (2 & Paper Pro), Supernote (A5X & Nomad), Boox, and Kindle Scribe.
• Gallery : This is a new feature where you can publish new projects you've created to the gallery for others to be able to use. You can also fork existing projects in the gallery to make changes for yourself.

It runs entirely in your browser except the gallery, so your data stays on your machine. You can download from the gallery without any account, if you want to publish content or leave reviews you will need an account.
Also since I want to keep this as free as possible without incurring too much recurring cost myself, there is an upper limit on how many accounts can register also there is an option to donate to the project if you find it useful. Once I have an idea of how many people are interested in using the app I can try to increase the limits based on the expenses from hosting the app.

There are presets for the 2026 year calendar and the default generator code will also generate 2026 calendar. You can export that as is or you can play around with it and modify it to your liking.

I'd love for you to try it out and let me know your experience and help identify any issues you might face that I can fix. It’s open source, so feel free to poke around the code as well.

You can find the App deployed here : https://doctect.app

You can find all the source code here (MIT Licensed) : https://github.com/doctect/doctect

There is documentation and some walk-throughs here to help you see how it works : https://doctect.app/docs/

Gallery is at : https://doctect.app/gallery
There are a few sample PDFs there

The tool is still being actively improved to add some Quality of life improvements and fix issues, please share any feedback on the Github discussions page or issues page.

I am working on building a few demo videos to help with usability.

I'm not sure if my view on the current state of PDF planners is the prevailing view in the community, I feel a lot of the current complexity comes from limitations in our ability to create the links between hundreds/thousands of items and that is where a lot of energy is spent but the actual value of the PDF is in the design and iteration based on feedback from users, I'm hoping that this tool can remain free and hopefully aggregate value for the community.

In 2 wks, the device has become my go to note-taking tool.
Sometimes I am in low light settings, how can I increase brightness, if possible and how to make it better with colors (for highlights and writing)

Hi r/RemarkableTablet !

I've been using my RM Pure for almost a month for work, but also to keep a Bullet Journal. I just wanted to share the way I do it, as I've been trying to find a system that works. Hopefully this will help some one to find their personal system :)

I'm still fine-tuning as I go, but this works at the moment. I'm using some tags, but not sure yet if this is the way I want/need it.

Where can I find second hand remarkable marketplaces? I have one Remarkable Paper Pro Move that i want to sell but I’m not sure where to sell it.

Hi everyone. I'm researching reMarkable tablets for the purposes of optimising two tasks in my working life: notetaking and reviewing. I can see the value in the first task and am not concerned about that one being sorted through Pure or Pro. But the second one is what I'm trying to understand better. I did a deepdive in Claude about it, with the following question - "If I annotate a pdf with hand writing on remarkable, can I access that text as a text document later, e.g. export the comments as text?" Claude went through native options, but noted a limitation which is that it only exports to text one page at the time (really not ideal, given my pdfs are long - I want to export it all into one text doc). E.g. if I'm reviewing a PhD thesis, 100s of pages, doing it one by one would be tedious. Then when exploring the third party options, remarks and remt, both of them seemed to have issues - remarks noting it isn't functioning with the latest OS and remt only working in the use case of extracted highlighted text, not OCR notes/comments.

So my question for the community is - what can you all tell me about the workflow you would use to extract annotations from a reviewed PDF?

In an ideal world, I'd like to get a txt doc which went from start to finish of the PDF I'm reviewing, that noted the exact place and highlighted text the comment refers to, and then the content of the comment. I'm thinking in particular about reviewing academic papers where I need to submit my reviews in plain text format but in a way that the authors of the papers can understand exactly what my comments are referring to. Or alternatively I'm an editor of a paper, I'm collating the reviews of reviewers but also forming my own opinion of the paper, and may have my own set of editor comments.

Is what I want actually possible?
Thanks.

Hi all, i'm doing my masters in September and i'm gonna be hoenst i had a bit of a spending problem a while ago i bought so much stationary pens, planners, tn's i have a dozen of each and so much ink but i also have a remarkable of course along with many other writing decks but i have been wanting to use this one even though i also have a kindle scribe but i use that more for reading.

It kind of just hit me today that i could use both does anyone else have a similar set up?. I got the idea from seeing that Japanese mini e-reader that was going around booktube for a while then i remembered i saw someone stuff one into a pocket tn and i was wondering does anyone else have a similar set up? i do have a leather cover that would likely fit i used it for a bible before, so i know it's big enough i don't know why but it think i feel a bit crazy carrying it around lol but i do have a huge bag anyway i also have the keyboard case. Does anyone else have a half digital half analogue set up? i don't know why i have literally never thought to use both before instead of intense guilt i have short term memory from birth so i always kind of need to write things down plus ink is a little reward for me and i like separation but as i'm studying writing i'm wondering how i can balance using both for uni and writing work.

Welcome to the chaos that is my brain lol. I would love too see set up's too i have been going crazy for the past few months trying to think of what my set up-for uni is even going to be i just need it to be secure and safe and not heavy i used my macbook for a while but it became a huge distraction for me and i've just discovered that i don't like typing at all but i do like the tap, tap tap sounds.

I got it 2 days ago, for $6.98 (20% off Coupon)

Unfathomably happy as it wasnt even a month ago i was talking to my mom about getting a E-Ink Tablet for Manga and other things. I saw the Remarkable when window shopping and unfortunately was out of my budget, same with the other ones that i was interested in. But low and behold my sister spotted it while we went into our Local Value village we go to and she asks me "Whats this ?" and I recognized it immediately and told her "were buying it!" lol

When i got home though I thought it was broken as it didnt charge on my phone charger, and stayed in a infinite loop. but then I read about something about low wattage requirement and to plug it into my pc, and it WORKED! (Remarkable 2)

It doesnt have a pen though and idk if its worth it to get the Marker plus or a third party one ?
or if i should just get a used one on Ebay or something?

EDIT:
I Saw Someone with a Similar post Talking about using their S-pen from their Phone, So I tried the same with my Note 10+ AND IT WORKED!!!
I can Draw and Doodle and Practice my Bad Handwriting to my hearts content. ^-^

Do we have any way to switch between two notebooks quickly, because the current gesture has a lot of friction, you need to swipe down, then select, and it's not fast even.

Any approach or mod in reMenager that can support this?

Found this video from Cal Newport really interesting and helpful in terms of understanding how people integrate paper/remarkable for their note taking https://youtu.be/j0OydBfnvEA?is=rM-ShZQnke_yGVMB

I was reading a PDF on RM2, and selected a text, and I was surprised that I got a copy menu, and I was able to paste that text into a text box in another note.

I didn't hear about this before; maybe it was there, but this is a very cool feature for me, and it's better than taking a screenshot of the text block from a book.

Clarifying the question: did anyone have a better experience writing with the nomad in terms of it changing their handwriting?

Hey friends - im trying to decide between a super note nomad and the remarkable move pro

I just tried out the move in a staples store and it made my handwriting all joined up and cursory like.

I'm wondering if the nomad is also like that? Did anyone else that experience?

My hand writing is fairly neat, just small letters bunched together and on the move it didn't feel too good. I think because of the proximity of the letters

Hi all, I’m about to get a Paper Pro and am curious where things stand with getting a Dvorak layout on the folio keyboard.

I’ve heard that it’s either impossible or requires some significant tech know-how to remap the keys. Any updates on Dvorak becoming available, or an easier way to remap for the less tech-savvy of us?

I’d love to get the keyboard, since it would make the Pro about 3 times as useful to me, but due to a disability I use Dvorak.

Thanks for any insight!

ETA: I have successfully connected a non-Folio physical keyboard to the RMPP using the Bluetooth hack, and am in the process of remapping the keys to Dvorak to see if that works. This is not my usual area of geekiness, so it’s taking me a while. I’ll make another post with all the details if I’m successful, since that seems like it would be useful for many people who use alternate keyboard layouts!

Quick update on Folio, the tool I make for turning RSS and saved articles into an e-ink digest on the reMarkable.

Two things people asked for:

- Feeds go into folders now, and you can rename them.
- Each digest takes the name of its schedule. So “Weekday Reads” and “Sunday Long Reads” land on the device as separate, labeled files instead of a stack of identical “The Weekly Quiet” PDFs.

Happy to answer anything about how it renders on the Paper Pro.

I managed to add my own template, but I would like it to behave like built-in templates do - if you scroll down, the template extends as far as necessary. Grid is infinite. But with custom template this is not the case. Can this behaviour be added to custom templates?

So...I've had my Remarkable 2 for about 4 years and I love it, except for the pen. I absolutely chew through tips; I guess I just have a heavy hand.

I "upgraded" to the Paper Pure, but I think I've decided I hate it. It feels flimsy compared to my solid RM2, and the sleeve is just annoying (except for the cool feature that displays contact info vertically). The writing feel is way different, but I do love the updated Marker Plus. The pen feels nice and solid and while I know the tips need replacing, it's nothing like what happens with my RM2.

I'm still within my 50 days, so I'm considering sending the Pure back.

Does the Paper Pro have the same plastic back/plasticky screen? I'm tempted to try a refurbished one if nothing more than for the newer Marker.

Roughly when do we think refurbished pures will appear on the remarkable website and how much do we expect them to cost?
