# reMarkable
reMarkable is a line of e-ink tablets designed specifically for reading, writing, and sketching — with no social media, notifications, or app store distractions. The paper-like display and low-latency stylus make it feel close to writing on actual paper. The devices run a custom Linux-based OS and can be accessed via [[Secure Shell (SSH)]].
## Models
- **reMarkable 1** — original model (2017)
- **reMarkable 2** — thinner, faster, USB-C (2020)
- **reMarkable Paper Pro** — color e-ink display (2024)
- **reMarkable Paper Pro Move** — Paper Pro with cellular connectivity
## Key Features
- Distraction-free reading and writing
- Low-latency pen input on e-ink display
- PDF and ePub support with annotation
- Handwriting-to-text conversion
- Cloud sync (proprietary or self-hosted via [[rmFakeCloud]])
- Notebook organization with folders and tags
- USB connection exposes device at `10.11.99.1`
## SSH Access
The reMarkable runs Linux and provides root SSH access over USB:
```bash
ssh
[email protected]
```
The root password is found on the device under **Help > Copyright and licenses**.
## Cloud Sync
By default, reMarkable uses its proprietary cloud. For self-hosted sync, [[rmFakeCloud]] is an open-source alternative that gives full control over your data.
