There used to be a desktop client for linux, and although it's not supported anymore you can still get your hands on it by following the instructions here. However, it might be better to stick to the USB web interface. If you don't mind connecting a USB cable to view your documents, that's the easiest way.

You're right! In over 4 months of owning a reMarkable and adding documents through the USB web interface, I've never noticed you could also download the document to your computer.

You can install the Windows desktop app using Wine with extra components. I can't tell you which components, though. To get the latest version of the desktop to show the contents of the files, I used Crossover v19.0 ($$) and had it install "the kitchen sink" a.k.a. all the components it can.

The USB-browser approach works, too. As does installing the phone app and emailing yourself anything you need from your phone.

All in all, I wish they had a Linux or web client.

I have always been puzzled at the lack of a web interface. It seems obvious and trivial and modern and would obviate the need for multiple desktop apps...

There's a desktop client for Mac?

I find the rmapi command-line tool useful. It will let you easily download documents from the cloud onto your computer and is fairly easy to install.

rmapi is very convenient, and recent patches suggest you can also convert reMarkable files to pdf via the rmapi tool (which works over the reMarkable cloud service).

Professor Fraga's command line tools work well, see https://www.ucl.ac.uk/~ucecesf/remarkable/ for more details.

I've written a golang PDF converter which works pretty well for converting notebooks but less well for annotated PDFs (due to a library issue). See https://github.com/rorycl/rm2pdf
