Q & A

The stuff you'll want to know before hooking your tablet up.


Why we built this

We're a small team that still thinks on paper. We wanted our notes in the conversation with our AI: send a meeting summary to the tablet, then ask what we scribbled last week. So we built remarkdown.

Getting connected is a short trial. Pro is for keeps: your AI opens your notes, searches inside them, and reads your handwriting. Questions? support@remarkdown.org.


Questions
What is remarkdown? An MCP server for your reMarkable

remarkdown connects your AI to your reMarkable tablet. Ask your AI to send a meeting summary over and it lands on your tablet as a native notebook you can write on. On Pro, the AI can also read your notes back — typed pages and handwriting — and search the words inside them.

Which AI assistants does it work with? Any AI client with remote MCP support

If your AI client can add a remote MCP server, it can talk to your tablet through remarkdown.

Setup guides are on the connect page.

Is there a free version? A short trial, then Pro

No. There is a trial: pair your reMarkable, connect your AI (Claude, ChatGPT, Notion, Raycast or any MCP client) and send a few notes, so you can see the two working together on your own tablet.

After those first pushes, remarkdown is Pro only: unlimited pushes, reading your handwriting, and search.

What does Pro add? Your AI reads your notes back

With Pro, your AI can open your documents: typed pages come back as text, handwritten pages as images it reads directly. Search covers the words inside your notes, not just the titles, and transcription makes your handwriting searchable too.

Pro is $9/month or $81/year. Cancel any time. Your synced note contents are deleted from our servers.

Can I get a refund? Pro has a 14-day guarantee

Pro comes with a 14-day money-back guarantee, no questions asked. Self-hosting is a separate add-on and isn't covered by that guarantee.

What are AI credits? They pay for handwriting transcription

Credits pay for transcription, turning your handwriting into searchable text. Instead of reading a whole page at once, we split it into geometry-aware cutoutsA small section of a page — like a paragraph or a diagram — that we transcribe on its own.: regions your page's own layout defines, like a paragraph or a margin note, each read on its own. That's how we transcribe handwriting better than the tablet's built-in reMarkable OCR. You pay 1 credit per cutout and cached cutouts are free, so re-reading a page only charges for new regions.

Monthly Pro starts with a one-time grant of 250 credits ($10 worth); annual Pro starts with a one-time grant of 625 ($25). Reading and search never use credits — only transcription does. When you run low you can top up from $10, and larger top-ups include bonus credits.

Do credits expire? No

When you run out of credits, we stop transcribing handwriting for you, but nothing breaks: your AI can still see each handwritten page as an image and read it directly, which works well for short notes. For longer or denser pages, our precision OCR reads the page region by region, following its layout, to turn your ink into clean, searchable text. That's what credits pay for. You can top up whenever you like, and credits never expire.

Can it read my handwriting? Yes — read directly, or transcribed for search

Yes, two ways. When your AI opens a document, handwritten pages go to it as images it reads directly. Separately, transcription turns your ink into searchable text, so "find my notes about pricing" works on handwriting too.

Transcription is on by default for your recent notes; you can widen the window, cover everything, or switch it off in Preferences.

Can my AI see my whole tablet? No — one connected folder you pick

No. You pick one connected folder, and that's where your AI reads, searches, and writes — subfolders included. Documents outside it aren't listed, searched, or read. It does see your folder names, so it can help you file things.

Want everything in reach? Point the connected folder at Root. Change it any time from your dashboard.

What does remarkdown store about me? Names always; contents only on Pro, by choice

For every paired account:

  • Your email, from sign-in.
  • An encrypted device token your reMarkable issued when you paired. Only our worker can decrypt it.
  • An audit log of tool calls — which tool ran, when, and the document's title. Not its contents.
  • An index of your folder names and the names of documents in your connected folder, so listing and search are fast.
  • Usage analytics (page views and errors) so we can find bugs. We use PostHog, served through our own domain.

Note contents — the text and the page images — are stored only if you're on Pro with Document Reading enabled, and only for the connected folder. Turn reading off or downgrade and that copy is deleted. Full details in the privacy policy.

Do you sell my data? No. No ads either.

No. We don't sell or rent your data, and we don't run ads. You pay for Pro; that's the business. The service providers we rely on (hosting, auth, billing) are listed in the privacy policy.

What about my reMarkable password? We never see it

Pairing uses the 8-character one-time code my.remarkable.com generates for any new device. You paste the code in, we trade it for a per-device token, encrypt that, and toss the code. Your password never enters the picture.

How do I connect my AI? Pair once, then a two-minute setup

Sign up, pair your tablet with the one-time code from my.remarkable.com, then copy your connection URL and follow the short guide for your assistant on the connect page. Most setups take under two minutes.

Is this affiliated with reMarkable? No — an independent, unofficial product

No. remarkdown is an independent product from Remarkdown LLC, not endorsed or sponsored by reMarkable AS. There's no official public reMarkable API, so we use the same cloud sync API the official apps use. Nothing touches the device itself: no firmware mods, no SSH, no root.

Can I delete my data? Yes, self-serve from your account page

Two steps if you want a full wipe.

  1. Click Disconnect on the dashboard. That revokes the device token, so remarkdown can't talk to your tablet anymore.
  2. Then head to auth.remarkdown.org/account and use the Delete account button. That removes your email, your tokens, the audit log, and any synced content on our side.
