reMarkable Tablet Integration (rmapi)

Fetch handwritten notes, sketches, and drawings from a reMarkable tablet via Cloud API. Process them — refine artwork with AI image generation, extract text to memory/journal, or use as input for other workflows.

Typical Use Cases

1. Journal entries — User writes thoughts on reMarkable → fetch → OCR/interpret → append to memory/YYYY-MM-DD.md or a dedicated journal file
2. Sketch refinement — User draws a rough graphic → fetch → enhance with nano-banana-pro (AI image editing) → return polished version
3. Brainstorming/notes — User jots down ideas, lists, diagrams → fetch → extract structure → add to project docs or memory
4. Illustrations — User creates hand-drawn art → fetch → optionally stylize → use in blog posts, social media, etc.

Processing Pipeline

reMarkable tablet → Cloud sync → rmapi fetch → PDF/PNG

                              OCR / interpret            nano-banana-pro
                                    │                     (AI enhance)
                                    │                           │
                              Add to memory/            Return refined
                              journal/project            image to user

Setup

• Tool: rmapi (ddvk fork) v0.0.32
• Binary: ~/bin/rmapi
• Config: ~/.rmapi (device token after auth)
• Sync folder: ~/clawd/remarkable-sync/

Authentication (ONE-TIME)

1. User goes to https://my.remarkable.com/connect/desktop
2. Logs in, gets 8-character code
3. Run rmapi and enter the code
4. Token saved to ~/.rmapi — future runs are automatic

Commands

# List files/folders
rmapi ls
rmapi ls --json

# Navigate
rmapi cd "folder name"

# Find by tag / starred / regex
rmapi find --tag="share-with-gandalf" /
rmapi find --starred /
rmapi find / ".*sketch.*"

# Download (PDF)
rmapi get "filename"

# Download with annotations rendered (best for sketches)
rmapi geta "filename"

# Bulk download folder
rmapi mget -o ~/clawd/remarkable-sync/ "/Shared with Gandalf"

Sharing Workflows

Option A: Dedicated Folder

User creates "Shared with Gandalf" folder on reMarkable → moves items there → agent fetches with rmapi mget

Option B: Tag-Based

User tags documents with share-with-gandalf → agent discovers with rmapi find --tag

Option C: Starred Items

User stars items → agent fetches with rmapi find --starred

Fetch Script

# Fetch from shared folder
~/clawd/scripts/remarkable-fetch.sh

# Fetch starred items
~/clawd/scripts/remarkable-fetch.sh --starred

# Fetch by tag
~/clawd/scripts/remarkable-fetch.sh --tag="share-with-gandalf"

Notes

• Tablet must cloud-sync before files are available
• geta renders annotations into PDF (preferred for handwritten content)
• Use convert (ImageMagick) to go from PDF → PNG for image processing
• For text extraction, interpret the handwriting visually (vision model) rather than traditional OCR
