Since we launched the reMarkable paper tablet last year, a significant share of the development has been happening “under the hood” of the device. Lately, however, we have doubled the size of our team (and growing), we have improved our quality assurance processes, and we have listened to and analysed feedback from thousands of customers.

All of this is resulting in big improvements and accelerated development. That’s why, in the coming weeks, customers will begin to see more new features and enhancements to their reMarkable paper tablets.

Over the next week, we will roll out a new software update. This is planned to be followed by yet another software update, with additional improvements just a few weeks later.

Launching this week; new template selection, flight mode, improved Passcode and more

New notebook settings

When creating a new notebook, you will now have the possibility to name the notebook and select a template right away. Choose one of your recently used templates, or tap “View all templates” to see all available templates. After creating a notebook, you can find the notebook settings by tapping the three dot menu, and select “Settings”.

Major revamp of the Template selection

We have made it easier to choose and change your templates. You can now find the template selector under the Three dot menu and then select Settings in a Notebook or a Quick Sheet. The thumbnails for each template have been updated to make them easier to distinguish from each other.

When tapping “View all templates”, the templates are organized under five categories: All, Creative, Grids, Life/Organize and Lines. In this section you can also filter between Portrait and Landscape-based templates.

With the new template selection tool, it will be more intuitive to select the template of your choosing, and your reMarkable will remember the templates you use the most. The revamp of this functionality was prioritized based on the feedback of reMarkable users.

Flight Mode

We have now implemented Flight Mode. Some airlines are very strict when it comes to Flight Mode, and it is not necessarily sufficient to show that Wi-Fi is turned off. You can find this in Device settings. When Flight Mode is activated, there will be an icon on the home screen showing that it is enabled.

Improved Passcode

To ensure a higher level of security with regards to sensitive documents we have improved the Passcode interface. Users are now better equipped to customize the level of security. The new Passcode interface is easier to use and gives better feedback both in setup and use.

Factory reset

Many customers have requested a safe and clear way to ensure that they have deleted all the content on their device. This function is an easy step-by-step process that can be found in Account settings.

More functionality is on its way

As mentioned, we are working to launch yet another software update within just a few weeks. This will contain more improvements and features which will improve the user experience further.

After this release is out, we will continue to listen to the reMarkable community and work on many other functionalities that will further improve the usage of the reMarkable paper tablet. We look forward to continuing our efforts to ensure reMarkable fits into people’s workflows!

How to get the latest updates

NB: You need to connect your reMarkable to Wi-Fi to get the latest update.To get the most out of your device, we also advise you to update the reMarkable apps for PC and mobile and login across all devices. Learn how to do this in this article.

If you haven’t updated your device within the last month, we recommend that you charge your device for at least an hour and keep your device connected to the charger before installing this update.

Open Settings by tapping the rM-icon in the top left corner on the home page

Make sure you are connected to Wi-Fi in settings.

If the update is available to you, the device will automatically check for updates and download the latest software.

When the download is finished, click Restart device to complete the update.

The update will roll out in controlled increments over the next seven days to all users, so if you haven’t received a new update yet, don’t worry. It will be made available to your device as well, as long as you are regularly connected to Wi-Fi.
