Customizing your reMarkable shouldn’t require SSH commands, terminal windows, or the fear of breaking something. Simply Customize It handles the technical side so you can focus on making your tablet feel like yours. Every reMarkable firmware update wipes your custom templates and screens. It’s just how the device works. Simply Customize It keeps a copy of everything, so when an update happens, one tap cleans up, syncs, and puts your device back exactly how you had it. WHAT YOU CAN DO • Templates: import, edit, and sync PNG, SVG, and native .template files, with filtering, sorting, and multi-select cleanup • Screens: add, preview, and upload sleep, startup, and other screen images one at a time or combine them into groups to upload at once • One-tap recovery: set it up once per device, then restore everything an update undoes • Add faster: drag images straight into the Mac app, or share from Photos on iPhone and iPad • Multiple devices: separate profiles for each tablet • Guided setup: step-by-step help connecting, including Developer Mode on Paper Pro and Paper Pro Move WORKS WITH reMarkable 1, reMarkable 2, Paper Pro, Paper Pro Move, and Paper Pure (beta) PLANS Free to set up unlimited devices and test the connection. Then choose Templates, Screens, or All Access, monthly or yearly, with a free trial on each. Built by an indie developer who uses her reMarkable daily. Not affiliated with reMarkable AS. Simply a fellow user who wanted a calmer way to customize. --- Questions or feedback?
