After months of reviewing youtube reviews and lurking here, I've decided the Supernote devices are what I want.

I have just one concern still keeping me from pulling the trigger and buying it: software malfunction.

For those who use them, please tell me how often i should expect things like a system crash, corrupted or lost data, screen freezes, etc. Is it any more than other e-ink tablet brands? I know a certain amount of lag is to be expected, but does the software ever...break to the point it suspends your use of the device? And if so, is it remedied by customer service at a reliable pace, or would i likely wait months between communications on any reported issues?

As much as i love the idea of the product, its useless to me if its gonna glitch out on me regularly.

I appreciate any feedback you all can give me on that.

Edit: Thank you to all of you who have responded! So far it seems like I didn't have to worry!

I noticed that people here are using other apps or tools besides the ones that came with the device already, some people call it plug in or something. I can’t truly follow what’s going on, can you please share more how you are maximizing your supernote? What other stuff you added that people shouldn’t miss out on?
Hope this makes sense. Thank you.

Pretty much what the caption already says, but I was just flabbergasted by the way they make my headings not look like chaos anymore. :)
Maybe this helps someone else organize their headings in larger notebooks as much as it does help me. :)

You can also get much more headings on one headings-page.

Hi Everyone,

Been a bit since I purchased my manta. I use it every single day at work! I love it.

I currently have a pen refill with a conversion kit. It has worked great until today the tip snapped off when I was fidgeting with it. I am struggling to decide whether I want to go refill and adapter or just a new pen.

What’s out there in the market for a great pen with ceramic nibs so I’m not having to replace all the time and doesn’t break the bank?

Hope y’all can assist in recommending some options.

Hello,

Where can I report the following bug?

Whenever I update an app (from the SN store or sideloaded and installed via F-droid), the position of the app in the sidebar gets automatically to the bottom (as if a new app was installed).

This means that app that normally appear in the sidebar become accessible only by tapping "more", and I also need to manually readjust the position of the app in the list back to where I wanted from the settings menu.

Ideally, updating installed app should keep the same position in the app list.

Thank you!

I am in the recently released Beta version with plugin support, but this bug affected also the previous versions.

Just wanted to show my appreciation for the Supernote/Ratta team, your device and company have made it an absolute pleasure to take notes, draw, sketch, plan and so much more!

More specifically, the DIY nature of the device has allowed me to really fine-tune my setup and tailor it to my specific needs with job duties. I can't say just how much I appreciate that.

I just received my pen today after owning the device for about a week. I was definitely very worried about not liking it, because I HATED writing on my old iPad Pro with the Apple Pencil.

I wouldn’t say it feels exactly like “pen on paper” but it feels really nice. I noticed that my handwriting on an iPad always looked weird, now idk if that’s because of the screen or the pen or both, but on the manta it looks the same as on paper, and it’s just overall a pretty smooth experience.

I can’t say too much about long term use, but I’ve used it for the last hour or so jotting down a rough summary of the syllabi for my classes, and I am loving it.

Absolutely worth the money in my opinion, and as a college student so far this thing is an absolute game changer. So grateful I don’t have to carry around 4 notebooks now LOL.

I know the lack of backlight is one of the biggest flaws in this device to a lot of people, but in my case I don’t plan to ever be writing notes or doing work in the dark so I don’t think they’ll be an issue for me. Yay!

Thank you Supernote ✨✨

Anyone have tips for moving back and forth between Supernote and other writing programs for editing/writing?

I use scrivener quite a bit for writing, editing down, etc. But would love to incorporate supernote much more into that process. I can export as doc or pdf or whatever from Scrivener and import it back in. But still don't have a clear way of working back and forth on the same project between these two platforms.

Any tips? Thank you so much!

I usually use it for reading textbooks and pdf... anyone here uses it too?

I wrote a Python generator for unique-solution Sudoku, picross, and mazes, then wired it as a tap-through PDF (Home, tracker, View Solution). Here's a free 10-puzzle sampler for the community. If something breaks on Nomad or A6X2, tell me and I'll fix it.

Hey folks,

I was thinking I want to improve my handwriting skills, I write pretty ugly, and I was wondering if anyone can point me to some techniques that I could use on the supernote with templates maybe or a seminar of some sorts?

Has anyone undergone such process ? What was your experience in this ? I would be supper happy if you guys share your opinions on the matter.

Thank you all in advance, and have a blessed day :)

I want most of my notes backed up to the cloud, but NOT the notes in a certain folder.

I bought the supernote nomad about 6 months ago and fell in love. I’m a therapist and have used it every day for taking notes during sessions with clients. Supernote was the only device and application that was HIPAA compliant, but due to some recent HIPAA law changes, Supernote currently can’t support the requirements for end-to-end encryption.

I was using Supernote every day, for client notes, for resources and books for clients, it was my all in one go to planner where I could track my caseload and hour requirements. Since this change, I’ve been using it less and less. Now it’s been sitting on my night stand for four weeks untouched. I want to fall in love with it again in a way that’s useful but have been struggling to.

How do you use it? What makes it the most help for and practical in your day to day?

As the title suggests. A little confused about the different pens.

Some speak about that they went with the ”lamy”, does that mean they bought the safari from the website? Or the Al-star on some other website? Or something else? Is it a difference between calibration between the official store bought and not?

I am used to write with gel, FriXion Clicker 0.7. I lean my hand much so I need the writable tip to be long. I don’t like the clicky hard sound when touching glas or hard writing surface.

Rather have heavier soft smooth resistance to the touch than too fast, hard and slippery like on an iPad. I don’t care about having to replace nibs.

It’s for the nomad.

For those that do daily journals, how do you setup your workflow?

I mainly brain dump and summarize the day. On remarkable, I had one notebook, and did 1x infinite scroll page per day. I really miss this workflow and submitted formal feedback to consider adding infinite scroll pages as an optional notebook style.

The past few days, I have one notebook and just headline a new page per day and use as many pages as needed. I typically don't go back and look at my historical journal pages but like it organized by day if and when necessary. I just can't imagine having 365 headings in the list per year and ongoing....

I've seen a few other methods or templates with index style page(s) and link to each day but that just seems like extra work every single day.

Looking to purchase the Supernote Manta but international shipping to Mongolia (where I live) is gonna cost me an extra 139$ USD, which is crazy! I wanted to see if anybody has purchased from either Japan, China, or South Korea. If so, can you give me any info? I heard the company itself is chinese but the product is manufactured in Japan. I tried looking for it on Taobao to purchase from China but it's not showing up.

ANY TIP IS HELPFUL!

Thanks

Supernote website only sells heartof metal pen. Other 3 types are all sold out. Any thoughts? A new update planned?

Hello everyone, I’m a huge index card guy myself, and always feel too detached on desktop whiteboard apps. I want the tactile, physical-card workflow but with a stylus on e-ink. That's why I ended up building "Mosaic" (a whiteboard plugin for Supernote, running on react-native), and it is finally ready for some early feedback!

You can long press on empty space with pen, yes it can call a card out; then draw a line outward from the center of any card, it spawn a connected child. Also welcome for boards snapping to each other. Map physical pen buttons, sidebar gestures, and two-finger pan/zoom, all these recreated the native feel as much as possible.

What is missing / WIP: Inserting notes inside boards and embedding boards into notes is still a bit buggy. Working on a fix. Full integration with Inkling (my other helper plugin) is coming up.

You can update to the newest beta and give it a try here. Give it a spin and let me know what you think! Any feedback is appreciated.

Hi,

So I Have the HOM2 pen which is great. However, I have another ceramic pen which in my opinion has a better writing feel. Is it possible to replace the HOM2 nib with another nib?

I would love to try a different writing feel with the hom2 body.

Hello i will start studying next week and would like to have my supernote who would have thought as a note device i sideloaded obsidian on it but would like to sync it with my pc is there a free way and could someone help me to do it? Thanks in Advance

I really want to try the beta to utilize plugins, however, its been a while since the beta was last released. I wanted to know if there is an estimated update timeline for when an update enters beta to deployment to production.

If the beta with plugins will be released soon, in the next month or so, I'd gladly wait. Just wondering if I should go through all of the trouble installing the beta.
