remarkable-cli-tooling VS remy

If you are looking for a separate handling of pulls and pushes, maybe you will have success with remarkable-cli-tooling, for example. For now I'm trying to nail the "sync-everything-in-one-folder" approach, but I am also considering to enable other approaches in the future.

I am using the Remarkable CLI tooling (https://github.com/cherti/remarkable-cli-tooling) on v.2 and it’s grand. It is all computer-side and just seems to push and pull from the RM’s storage.

I’ve had good luck with the tools in this GitHub repo: Remarkable CLI tooling. If you’ve got some simple CLI chops, resync.py does a great job.

I use https://github.com/cherti/remarkable-cli-tooling which can do that. If you like terminal tools, this might do the trick for you.

https://github.com/cherti/remarkable-cli-tooling can do that. However I don't know how they work under windows, the README points to the WSL, but they might also just work natively?

In case you use third party tools, resync.py from here has a backup command that will pull pdf copies of all documents on the remarkable via cable. Usability might be limited though, as it is a command line tool, so maybe not necessarily what you are looking for.

I'm using https://github.com/cherti/remarkable-cli-tooling which has a "backup" command in its resync.py that backups all documents as pdf. Runs for quite a bit, but all documents get pulled as rendered PDFs, so if you loose your device or it breaks you can open all documents with a standard reader and have access to your notes right away.

There is the option to use the built-in webinterface directly (which is what a lot of the tools out there are using internally), alternatively, there are a couple of CLI options, such as reHackable scripts, which are unfortunately discontinued, or reMarkable CLI tooling or a reMarkable FUSE filesystem. There are more listed on https://github.com/reHackable/awesome-reMarkable , you might want to go through that list if you find something that suits your needs.

https://github.com/cherti/remarkable-cli-tooling with resync.py being inspired by repush.sh , which was unfortunately discontinued before fixing all its bugs.

resync.py can do that with the --overwrite_doc_only flag, but that requires that you access the system via SSH, that might or might not be your cup of tea.

What I do is I create backups with rsync (so "low-level" backups of the actual data the tablet is using to represent the notebooks, not just the rendered pdf). Then I use Remy to browse them if needed. (Disclaimer: I'm the developer of Remy) It currently lacks a way to export/import the notebooks in native formats (that would allow you to restore archived ones through the GUI) so if you need that you need to do it manually, which requires some basic knowledge of how the notebooks are internally stored.

reMy and RCU are the best alternative desktop clients. The former has a focus on notebooks, while the latter is focused on ease-of-use and does it all (templates/notebooks/wallpaper/and much more). Both use their own rendering engine for custom PDF export options. Neither installs anything to your tablet, so they usually work through software updates. (Disclaimer: I am the author of RCU).

You can also take backups using easy, convenient, community-written software, like RCU (which I'm the author of), reMy, reMarkable HyUtilities, rmExplorer, rmAPI, and many others found in the Awesome reMarkable list.

You could use something local, that uploads over SSH instead of the Web UI. The Web UI and rM Cloud choke on files over a few hundred MBs. reMy + 2.x firmware might be what you're looking for -- it has sync capability. (I assume OneDrive has something like a shared PC folder that you can use as the target directory.)

You could try reMy, which has its own renderer. There are more rendering programs in the Awesome reMarkable list, many of which will work with 2.15 and below--just avoid anything saying 'cloud' or 'web UI'.

Mathpix has this functionality and is cheap. I integrated it into Remy, see here for a demo (although it's a bit outdated, the app has now way more features). It's not a fully fledged integration, I was planning to use it for having a search index that could match on handwriting but had no time to implement it.

If you need support for the new v3 software update, not sure. Otherwise Remy can do that for you

I use my own Remy tool (in conjunction with rsync for backups). Unfortunately it is not working with v3 just yet but I plan to eventually add support for it, once the effort to reverse engineer the new file format settles.

You're not alone :-); we started discussing it here https://github.com/bordaigorl/remy/issues/49

But parsing and rendering are two different things. RCU used to use the remy parsing, while the developer put considererable effort into the rendering himself. Yet he wasn't satisfied (I was) and started to completely rebuild it. That's where he lost interest in RCU :-(
