Scrybble remarks

With Remarks, you can export notebooks and PDFs from your ReMarkable.

1. Export your notebooks as PDF
2. Extract highlights as text

Goals

This is a fork of https://github.com/lucasrla/remarks. This fork has a few goals

• Support ReMarkable v3
• Support Type Folio output
• Retain support for older ReMarkable versions
• Note: This fork does not support all original output variants offered by the original remarks. The focus lies only on getting PDFs and text highlights out. You can use other tools such as Pandoc for conversion.

This project assumes familiarity with git, python and the commandline.

A visual example

Highlight and annotate PDFs

And then use remarks to export annotated pages to Markdown, PDF, PNG, or SVG on your computer:
