Paper is a great tool for thinking. It lets your mind roam freely, without restrictions — and focus, without distractions. That’s why reMarkable is designed to harness the best aspects of paper, and add digital powers that can help you take your work further.

1. Keep all your notes in one place

Say goodbye to the mountain of paper and notebooks on your desk. With a digital notebook, all your work is in one place, instantly synced to the cloud, and easily available on your phone and laptop. You’ll never lose an important document again.

2. Write and edit on the go

Thoughts and ideas can happen anywhere, anytime. With a digital notebook, you’re always ready to capture them — whether you’re sitting on a bus or your sofa. reMarkable has two weeks of battery life, so it’s always ready for your next big idea.

3. Visualize ideas effortlessly

If you’re a visual person who thinks in boxes or figures, a digital notebook can really transform your workflow and help you communicate more effectively. When words aren’t enough, you can visually express your ideas through sketches, mind maps, and more — select, scale, and move sketches to fit.

4. Review documents, slides, and PDFs

Forget about printing and carrying a pile of heavy documents. Instead, you can transfer PDFs and ebooks to your digital notebook and write directly on the page, adding digital powers to notes and printouts — without sacrificing the feel of paper. Making commenting, reviewing, and signing a breeze.

5. Organize your notes

Folders, tags, search, and virtually limitless pages keep notes organized and easy to find. Everything’s securely stored in the cloud with Connect, and seamlessly synced across all your smart devices with our mobile and desktop apps. So your important documents are always at your fingertips.

6. Work smarter with handy templates

reMarkable has a wide range of templates for writing, drawing, and organizing, so you can work more efficiently. Manage your time with weekly and daily planners, stay on top of tasks with to-do lists, and capture everything that happens on a call with meeting note templates.

7. Explain complex ideas by sharing your screen

With Screen Share, you can turn your paper tablet into the perfect digital whiteboard. This makes it simple to unpack complex ideas on video calls by writing, drawing, and explaining as you go. It even has a laser pointer (hover the tip of your Marker above the display to make it appear). Or, if you’re in the same room as your colleagues, you can share directly on the big screen.

8. Take your work anywhere

At just 5.1 mm / 0.24 in, reMarkable Paper Pro is an extraordinarily thin tablet. It’s the perfect size to throw in your bag, without weighing you down. So you can enjoy comfortable, paper-like writing and reading — anywhere, anytime.

9. Save time typing up notes

With handwriting conversion, you can convert pages of your handwritten notes into typed text in seconds, edit the text on any device, and share it by email. Which means no more typing up meeting notes, and more time to focus on your work.

10. Write without distractions

Forget about email notifications, apps, pop-ups, and adverts competing for your attention. When you turn on your reMarkable, there’s only you and the words on the page. No interruptions, no distractions. So you can find your flow, and do your best work.
