What is Remarkable?
Remarkable is a digital notebook that allows users to take handwritten notes, sketch ideas, annotate PDF documents and sync everything across devices via the cloud. It provides a paper-like writing experience through its e-ink display and (marker) stylus while still offering the advantages of going digital.
Some key features of Remarkable include:
- 10.3" e-ink display with Canvas screen texture that feels like writing on paper with little glare.
- Ultra low latency stylus allows for writing smoothly with high responsiveness.
- File organization and cloud sync - documents and notebooks can be organized into folders locally on the device and access/sync from anywhere via cloud.
- Read, annotate and highlight PDFs.
- Thin and light design in a tablet form factor that's comfortable for taking handwritten notes.
- Long battery life, lasting weeks on average.
- Supports export of notes and sketches to common formats like PDF to view or share on other devices.
Overall, Remarkable aims to blend the best aspects of analog writing and paper with the conveniences of going digital. Its simple yet robust interface is focused on writing, sketching and document annotation rather than complex apps and functionality. As such, it targets students, academics, journalists, artists and other professionals who want to write, sketch and markup documents frequently with maximum flexibility across devices.
