What is reMarkable:

A digital notebook that feels like pen on paper when you use it. Made to help you think better, with smart tools that fit into your workflow.

## The Three Pillars of Better Thinking

### A place for your thoughts

Write, sketch and mark up on a display that feels just like paper. The CANVAS display responds in up to 12 milliseconds when you write on it, and is easy on the eye — using ambient light rather than a backlit display. On our Pro models, an adjustable front light means you can work comfortably in any lighting, without the strain.

### Where ideas come together

Edit, move, search, and convert your handwriting to typed text — for the type of convenience notes only digital notes can offer. Organise everything with folders and tags, and annotate PDFs and Word documents as naturally as a printed page.

### Compare the tech

A reMarkable paper tablet isn't an iPad or an e-reader, it's something  
different entirely. Here’s how it holds up.

### Focus-friendly

While other tablets are built for everything, reMarkable is built for one thing — better thinking. No browsers, no social media, no interruptions.
