Templates for the reMarkable eInk tablet.

reMarkable Templates

Thanks for checking out the templates I've put together for the reMarkable eInk tablet. A good place to get started is the reMarkable wiki

Disclaimer

You should be comfortable with using the Terminal commands below. If not, consider an installer like this.

Getting Set Up

1. Plug your reMarkable into your computer.
2. Tap the Top Left Menu button.
3. Tap Settings.
4. Tap Help.
5. Tap Copyrights and licenses.
6. Note the local IP address of your device.
   • Something like 192.168.1.77.
7. Note your password.
   • Something like 8EeAOUlwbs3.
8. Open a Terminal on your computer and use the following commands to move your files around, substituting your IP and Password for the ones you just found. You'll need to enter your password each time you make a transfer in either direction (the password won't show up as you type it).
9. Add whatever templates you want to this directory and upload them to your device.
10. Update your templates.json file with new entries (in JSON format).
    • You'll probably want to use the "Blank" iconCode value of \ue9fe. You can find the other codes available on the wiki page for custom templates.
    • Note the filename property doesn't include the file format
    • Adding categories not already present in other entries will create a new category tab in the Templates menu on the device. You can make these as granular as you want, but I'd recommend keeping it simple and putting all your templates in "Custom".
11. Upload the updated templates.json file to your device.

Commands

Download templates.json from your reMarkable

scp root@IP_ADDRESS:/usr/share/remarkable/templates/templates.json ./templates.json

scp ./NEW_FILENAME root@IP_ADDRESS:/usr/share/remarkable/templates
