SuperTemplate is a plugin for Supernote, a brand of e-ink writing tablet, tested on the A5 X and Manta models. It works together with a set of ready made note templates that include a title box and a spot for the date and time. After you write your title by hand on the guide line, you double tap the logo area with your finger, and the plugin takes care of the rest. When triggered, it stamps the current date and time onto the page, offering four formats across five languages, and it hides a searchable date keyword so the page can be found later using Supernote's built in search. It also turns your handwritten title into a real heading that shows up in the note's table of contents, keeping your handwriting exactly as written, even if letters stick out of the box, and typed text boxes work the same way. You can choose to keep your handwriting as the heading or have the device convert it into typed text using on device character recognition, with support for your own custom fonts. You can even switch between heading styles by underlining or double underlining your title with the pen. The plugin runs entirely on the device, with no cloud service, network connection, or account needed. It will not redo work on a page that is already finished, and it explains itself with a popup whenever it declines to act. The README also documents a known Supernote firmware bug that causes brief screen flashing during use, which the plugin works around and repairs automatically. Installation involves copying a plugin file to the device, enabling it in the device's plugin settings, then installing the bundled templates from within a note. Building the plugin from source requires Node, a Java Development Kit, and the Android SDK. The project is released under the MIT license, with the author accepting optional support through Ko-fi.
