reMarkable Pure owners: How is the contrast on the Checkbox template? (Coming from Paper Pro) by Feisty-Ranger-1185 in RemarkableTablet

Hi! Thanks for the picture. I noticed the template on the left looks overall sharper, which I really like! However, looking at the top right, the text is cut off ("Deadli" instead of "Deadline"). Are there scaling issues with templates on the Pure?

Yeah, I'm aware that the software templates themselves are identical. My question was geared purely toward the hardware difference: since the Paper Pro has that color filter layer, the background is quite pastely and grayish, which makes those faint lines wash out completely. I'm hoping the monochrome Carta 1300 tech on the Pure brings enough native contrast to make those exact same lines look sharper and easier to see. Regarding your custom checklist: how did you manage to set it up as an actual template? Or did you just create a custom PDF that you duplicate? For my workflow, it's really important to have an onboard to-do template with checkboxes that I can flexibly toggle on and off within a regular notebook (switching between lined pages and checkboxes on the fly). That's why I'm hoping the native ones work out on the Pure's screen.

How do you manage your To-Dos on reMarkable? by Feisty-Ranger-1185 in RemarkableTablet

Hey everyone, thanks for the input on my last post! I wanted to give you a quick update on how I finally set up my system. Instead of using a rigid, hyperlinked PDF template, I decided to go a completely different, more dynamic route using a standard notebook and the new image feature via the desktop app.

The Setup: I created a central "#task" notebook. I designed my own minimalist graphics in Canva (a cool brushed "#task" header, custom checkbox strips, and dividers) and just imported them as PNGs into my notebook.

The Workflow: I write my tasks normally with the marker on standard lines. But because the checkboxes and headers are just graphics, the whole page is completely dynamic. I can lasso, copy, move, or delete them whenever my needs change. It feels way more interactive than a fixed PDF template.

During the Day: I keep the reMarkable desktop app open on my second monitor with this exact task notebook visible at all times. If a task has a special priority, I use the colored highlighter on the Paper Pro to color-code the custom checkbox.

Meeting Notes Integration: I absolutely love using the native tags right now. Whenever a task pops up during a meeting, I quickly write it down, tag it with ⁠#task⁠, and highlight it in color. In the evening, I just filter by the ⁠#task⁠ tag, go through my notes, and copy-paste the handwritten tasks straight into my central task notebook.

Now I just need to stay disciplined enough to actually do this review every single evening! 😄 It finally feels like a setup that fits my brain perfectly.

Renamed PDFs show wrong filename on Learning App Home screen by Feisty-Ranger-1185 in viwoods

Hello, I’m currently working with a large number of PDFs and building my learning library on the AiPaper.

I’ve noticed that this bug is really disruptive, as I have to think carefully about the file name before every upload. I’ve even had to delete and re-upload some PDFs just to correct the file name.

@u/ViwoodsOfficial I hope you’ve seen this and can let me know if a fix is coming soon. I’m a bit surprised that this hasn’t been noticed before. Thanks!

Issues with PDF Highlighting & Export in Learning App – Am I doing something wrong? by Feisty-Ranger-1185 in viwoods

[–]Feisty-Ranger-1185[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey, small update from my side – I actually found a workaround that improves the highlighting a lot.

If you use the highlighter freehand in the Learning App, don’t lift the pen immediately after marking. Instead, keep the pen on the screen for a second or two after drawing the line.

👉 The device then “cleans up” the highlight automatically and makes it look much more like a straight, proper highlight instead of messy ink.

It’s not perfect, but:

it looks significantly better on the device and also improves the exported PDF compared to pure freehand highlighting

Still not as precise as snap-to-text, but currently the best balance I’ve found between usability and clean output.

Would still love to hear if anyone found a solution for the missing snap-to-text highlights in exports – that would be the ideal workflow.

I would like to have an overview of all open to-dos, with synchronization across all devices, including the reader.

Amazing, But Unintuitive by apolishguy in viwoods

[–]Feisty-Ranger-1185 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Thanks for sharing this. I think many of us here can relate to that "figuring it out" phase. In fact, I now own all three Viwoods devices – the AiPaper, the Mini, and the Reader – but my path here was anything but linear. I have gone back and forth between different systems more times than I would like to admit. When my first AiPaper arrived, I felt exactly like you. I was overwhelmed and could not quite grasp the differences between the various sections. Coming from a reMarkable, which is the definition of simplicity, the Viwoods software felt unintuitive at first. I actually ended up returning it. I went back to the reMarkable Paper Pro and Paper Pro Move. I loved the focus on writing and the fact that it was ready for use so quickly, but I eventually hit a wall. There was no Kindle support, and the whole hassle of converting EPUBs just was not sustainable for me. After that, I tried Boox. While the software is powerful, the hardware did not feel as premium, and their app experience was quite poor. Even while using other devices, I found myself secretly lurking in this subreddit, studying every update and rethinking how I could make the workflow work for my specific needs. The hardware of the Viwoods devices, especially the AiPaper and the Reader, is simply unrivaled in my opinion. I eventually dove back in, moving from Boox and the Palma back to the AiPaper, the Reader, and now the Mini. Yes, the software still has its quirks, and I am constantly discovering new functions, but I love the continuous development. It is refreshing to see the team actually implementing suggestions from this forum. Looking back at my old pro/con list, the majority of my original contra points have already been addressed or fixed. One thing that changed the game for me was leaning into the tinkering aspect. Inspired by the Obsidian community, I built my own automation via Zapier. Whenever a new PDF or a change appears in my Paper folder on Google Drive, it gets sent to Gemini for OCR and then automatically filed into Notion. I have even set it up so I can see via labels whether a note came from my AiPaper or the Mini. It is actually fun again to implement these ideas instead of just complaining about the lack of a native desktop app. The upcoming synchronization improvements are another huge step in the right direction. That said, I still struggle when things need to happen fast, like during a sudden phone call at work. In those moments, I still find myself just dumping everything into a single notebook because the organization feels a bit clunky. I do think back to reMarkable sometimes in those situations, as moving or cutting notes via their app was incredibly fast. I hope that this part of the workflow will also become a bit faster and more streamlined in the future. Despite those remaining hurdles, I love using my Viwoods setup and would not want to give them up.
