Save your SSH password before installing anything unofficial, factory reset does not restore firmware and can worsen recovery, especially on reMarkable 2.

In plain English

This is a community-curated list of software projects, tools, and resources built around the reMarkable paper tablet. The reMarkable is a device designed to feel like writing on paper, running a Linux-based operating system underneath. Because the hardware is Linux-based and open to tinkering, a sizable community of developers has built unofficial apps, utilities, and libraries for it. The list is organized into several categories. APIs cover ways to interact with the reMarkable cloud service and the tablet's internal file format from code, with implementations in Python, Go, Java, TypeScript, and other languages. Applications include ebook readers, note-taking apps, a calendar, an offline Wikipedia reader, and even ports of classic games like DOOM and chess. Cloud tools help with syncing documents from services like Google Drive, Mendeley, or via email. Device tools and GUI clients let you manage the tablet from a computer. The list also covers custom templates, screen sharing and streaming tools, interface customization projects, and launchers that replace or extend the default home screen. The README opens with a safety warning: before installing anything unofficial, you should save your SSH password somewhere secure. Losing access to SSH while the device is malfunctioning can leave it in a state that is difficult to recover. Factory resetting the device does not restore original firmware, it just clears user data and SSH credentials, which can create additional problems. The list notes that reMarkable 2 owners need to take extra care because the screen hardware differs from the original model and some projects may not be compatible. None of the projects listed here are affiliated with or endorsed by reMarkable AS, the company that makes the device. The full README is longer than what was shown.
