🎉 Just received reMarkable software version 3.28!

Looks like version 3.28 just landed on my reMarkable :) Anyone else received it yet? Curious to see what’s new and what everyone thinks of the update!

Hi everyone,

I’m the developer of slowDigest, an iPhone app I built to solve a simple problem: saving articles to read later and actually getting them onto my reMarkable in a clean format.

The workflow is:

Save an article → add it to slowDigest → create a reading digest → send it to your reMarkable.

You can share articles directly from Safari or other iOS apps. slowDigest extracts the article content and removes the usual web clutter, then creates a formatted PDF with:

• Cover page
• Table of contents
• Estimated reading time
• Page numbers and bookmarks
• E-ink-friendly typography
• Custom article order

The resulting PDF can also be used on Kindle, Kobo, Supernote, Boox, or other e-readers.

The free version includes up to 3 digests per month and honestly it's good to enjoy a goos biweekly test and I also have a few codes for free months for those who would like to try more intense !

slowDigest on the App Store

I’d be particularly interested in feedback from reMarkable users: how do you currently save and read web articles on your device, and what is missing from your current workflow?

I’m actively developing the app, so practical feedback is welcome.

clearest example I could capture tonight -- the brightness settings bar

example of it resolving itself upon screen refresh [ghosting (from prior screen's \"My Files\" box) in upper left, as well as the brightness settings bar]

From my understanding, this yellow ghosting is reminiscent of what would happen when a Paper Pro was defective -- or is this normal? Per u/rmitchellscott 's https://rm-panels.scottlabs.io/ , it's nowhere near these severe recurring green artifacts....

But the menus didn't cause ghosting like this right out of the box. And it came on what feels like pretty suddenly, within the Move's first fifty days.

Objectively, it doesn't bother me, but should it given this is Gallery 3? Thank you so much!

I’ve had my Paper Pro Move for a little over 6 months now, and with the one-year anniversary of the device coming up, I figured it was a good time to share a few thoughts.

It’s an incredible device. I came over from my Remarkable2 and I use my move 90% of the time both as a reader and as my main notes taker. It’s slowly become one of my goto daily drivers that I’m using almost all the time now.

Recently I’ve also been experimenting with making planners for it. Mainly, because I wanted something tuned to the Paper Pro Move screen, and also because I have been able to learn how to do this from this community.

And, I’m sharing it here…

It’s a 2026 daily planner PDF with linked monthly pages, daily pages, navigation links, notes, schedule blocks, to-dos, focus areas, and a few reflection sections.

Still a work in progress, but I think it’s at the point where other Paper Pro Move users might get some use out of it.

GitHub/download:
https://github.com/JarvisGH1/remarkable-paper-pro-move-planner/releases/tag/v0.4

I’d appreciate any feedback from those who try it. Especially on line weight, readability on-device, navigation, and whether weekly pages would be useful.

Again, wanted to share something I made with this community and open to your thoughts, feedback, and support!

I’m having a strange issue with my reMarkable 2 and I’m wondering if anyone has managed to solve the same problem.

The tablet works normally and charges over USB-C, but I can’t get any USB data connection working. The USB web interface switch appears in Settings, but tapping it does absolutely nothing — it never turns on.

I was trying to connect using reManager/SSH, but the problem seems to be lower-level than that because the Mac isn’t detecting the reMarkable as a USB network/data device at all.

Things I’ve tried:

• reMarkable 2 is fully up to date
• restarted the reMarkable several times
• restarted it while connected to the Mac
• tried the 15-second power-button reset/reboot sequence
• tried a genuine Apple USB-C cable
• tried other USB cables
• connected directly to the Mac rather than through a hub
• changed macOS Privacy & Security → Accessories to allow USB accessories
• tried two different Macs
• kept the reMarkable awake and unlocked
• tried enabling USB web interface repeatedly — switch appears but won’t activate
• ping 10.11.99.1 gives 100% packet loss
• ssh [root@10.11.99.1](mailto:root@10.11.99.1) just hangs and never reaches the password prompt
• checked networksetup -listallhardwareports
• checked ifconfig
• checked system_profiler SPUSBDataType
• checked ioreg -p IOUSB -l -w 0

The Macs don’t appear to enumerate the reMarkable as a USB device at all. It charges normally and the USB-C connection feels solid with no obvious physical damage or excessive movement.

Wi-Fi SSH is currently disabled, so unfortunately I can’t use that as a workaround without first getting USB SSH working.

The device is out of warranty, so before I consider this a failed USB data connection/port, I wanted to check:

Has anyone had this exact issue and actually fixed it?

In particular, has anyone found a software/firmware fix, hidden setting, factory-reset fix, or a way to enable SSH over Wi-Fi without first having USB SSH access?

I’d be really interested to hear from anyone who had the USB web interface toggle visible but completely unresponsive, as that seems to be the key symptom.

Really want to try our reManager!

Preface: just my 2c, so go easy on me. 🙂

Seems like Remarkable’s enterprise B2B strategy isn’t really paying off. Which sort of checks out as IT gatekeeping is tightening up in those spaces. Handwriting really isn’t a medium that business can leverage at the level of scale they need. (Not that handwriting isn’t valuable to the individual).

I would think Remarkable would want to double down on their consumer market. Invest more in the product development that would make users pay more to buy/use. Stick to the vision that it is specifically NOT an iPad, ie no internet, no apps, but factor in all the mods this community is asking for that will make the written form as optimized as possible.

The corporate world is leaning hard into conversational ai as the vehicle for note taking/collaboration/action. It also scales better because businesses can standardize the information obtained within and across communication. (This isn’t meant to be a discussion on ethical ai use in business, only that there are far more efficient modalities of information gathering and transmission that isn’t easily displaced by the written form.)

I am a longtime fan of the Remarkable portfolio but their B2B strategy seems poorly defined. Refine the text recognition and let me act on my own writing. Hyperlinked table of contents and tagging. Querying my writing. I want my own content to be its own language model, personally. Protected of course. That’s where I think Remarkable can expand into. As well as the actual form factor functions that ensure it doesn’t need constant replacing.

Es ist still geworden -
Passiert noch was?

I have a Remarkable Paper Pro and bought it about 2 months ago. I'm on my second stylus tip... considering replacing again. At this rate it seems like about a month per tip. That feels a bit excessive to me... but maybe I'm just overthinking it. How long are your stylus tips lasting?

1. Plug in, charges for an hour or so.
2. Unplug, use for a bit.
3. Plug in, does not charge.

Any thoughts on my Rm2, and why it sometimes does not take a charge? A loose female C port on the device?

Hello everyone! As promised, I will be sharing a link to a custom planner generator each month. Feel free to have a look:

Let me know if you have any questions 😊

My remarkable is at version 3.12.4.4 and has been stuck there for some time. When I try to upgrade, the process gets stuck in "Checking for update". After SSHing into it and looking at the upgrade processes manually, it seems it's stuck in a persistent state of recovery_status=in_progress, which I suspect is hanging the upgrade process. I'm attaching the output in hopes that someone can clarify how to reset this flag and allow the natural update process to proceed.

So this is an update to my previous post https://www.reddit.com/r/RemarkableTablet/s/ykD1TptFm0

I received a new paper pro today. And this one doesnt seem to ghost. It says its produced in may 2025. Should i return the new one to try and get a newer produced paper pro? Are the new manufactured ones any better or this is good?

I'm delighted to announce the Beta Testing of my ReMarkable to OneNote sync app.
For some time I've been using my ReMarkables (v2 and Move), but the one thing that was always missing from my workflow was the ability to two-way sync with a Windows-native note tool such as Microsoft OneNote. Since it didn't seem to exist, I built it myself, and will be launching it as open-source.
Now it's approaching completion, I'm looking for beta testers to give it a thorough shakedown before a wider release. Anyone that thinks this would be useful to their workflow, is technical enough to handle an early release and happy to help, please drop me a line.

What are some must-know tips for reMarkable Paper Pro users?

Looking for anything from hidden features to workflow tricks that made a real difference.

You can get any of these templates for free with your subscription.

Please share in the comments if there's a template you'd like to see next...

Exactly as title says. Worked fine for months, all the sudden it can't function at all. I have done countless hard reboots and updated to the newest software. Customer Support advised me to perform a software reset using desktop app, which I did [successfully]. The problem persists and still I am unable to use any of my documents [even new, empty notebooks will crash almost immediately].

Customer Support provided zero helpful assistance [pretty sure the "talk with a person" option on the CS page is just an AI assistant. If not, these ppl are retarded].

Performed a factory reset, and not thirty seconds after opening a blank document it crashed again.

wtf am I supposed to do now?

Hi all. I got gifted an rm2 this year and use it a lot - it's been a game changer for helping my organisation. I don't subscribe to connect and honestly don't really have any need for it except that I see a lot of posts about remarkables breaking and it's stressing me out that I could lose my work! Is connect the only way to ensure you can recover it if it breaks? Seems expensive just to be a back up plan!

Second question if you are still here....is there a way to move faster between recent files? Sometimes I'm flipping between two notebooks in completely differently folders and it's super annoying to navigate...

I've had my Paper Pro Move for about 3 months now, and while I like the device overall, I've been feeling like the battery life is pretty disappointing.
I don't usually use it for long periods at a time, so I don't actually run out of battery, but it is still annoying.

I just tested this again as I have done several times, and it dropped from 40% to 38% in about 5 minutes of normal writing. Which is pretty much consistent with the other times. This was with brightness at 4 and Wi-Fi on.

That seems like quite a lot of battery drain to me. At that rate. What kind of battery drain are you seeing during normal writing? I'm wondering if my battery is behaving normally or if I should contact reMarkable about it.

Well, I can answer completely honestly on what happens when a 10lb dumbbell meets the RMPP.

The dumbbell won.

I was handing it to my spouse, when it slipped from his hand and fell on the corner of the dumbbell on the floor.

Well time to dig my rm2 out of storage and sync it back up while I save up for another Pro.

My university is getting me a tablet for note taking, as I have ADHD. Their default tablet is Remarkable, but in the past they have bought other tablets for students, if they could make the case. So I am trying to figure out if Remarkable is a good fit for me.

I currently take and organise my notes on OneNote. I know that Remarkable doesn't directly support OneNote, but there are options for me to import them into Remarkable. However, seamless integration and syncing between devices is very important to me. Because the way I work is that I read my notes on a tablet, create revision notes from them on my computer with a large monitor, and then go back to my tablet for revisions. So it seems that if I use Remarkable, then I should use Remarkable's own apps (whether on the tablet or desktop) for the entire note-taking -> creating revision notes -> studying journey.

So I am trying to find out whether the Remarkable desktop app provides the functionalities I need for creating revision notes:

- creation of charts, tables, and free text,

- having different coloured and sizes of font,

- bold, italic,

- bullet points and numbered list,

- highlighting of text in different colours, and

- changing cell colour of tables

Can the Remarkable app do that?

Hey guys, I need to buy a case for this thing cause it's making me nervous seeing the cracked screens, the actual case from ReMarkable is wayyyy too much, has anyone had luck with Amazon rip offs?? If so, which one?

I’m seriously considering the paper pure for my corporate job as I currently take notes on paper which is obviously not optimal or effective BUT I have genuinely trash garbage unreadable handwriting. Is it a total lost cause on me? Send me your messy af hand writing that’s still getting understood and turned into type from your RM or tell me I’m doomed

I'm a newbie to this tech, as I have only been a casual user of Samsung Galaxy tablets and phones, never this. The learning curve to connect my phone/tablet, my desktop computer, and this Remarkable seems long for this ol' geezer, but I'm diving in. LOL
