What's actually running

RUNNINGWriting on a Boox Go 10.3 Lumi. Native app, raw Onyx pen strokes with pressure. Ink latency 30 ms → 5 ms. Measured 31 Aug 2026.
RUNNINGReading real handwriting. 87.5% of words exactly right on a real handwritten line. Diacritic errors 7.1% — and the index strips diacritics, so accent-free typing still finds the page.
RUNNINGBacklog import. A real archive run: 11 pages, 27 regions indexed. Typing speed up, really build and UI UX each returned a page that had been unfindable by text before.
RUNNINGreMarkable file import. .rm v6 read directly — the strokes, not a flattened image. Verified against four real files from the community test suite.
RUNNINGCross-notebook search. SQLite + FTS5, one index across every notebook and every device. Click a hit and it lands on the exact strokes.
RUNNINGMCP server. 16 tests, and a real MCP client connects to it.
RUNNINGDesktop app. Electron; library, page redrawn from strokes, search, recognition, correct-and-confirm. 12 store tests that run without opening a window.
RUNNINGBrowser writing surface. Runs in the tablet's own browser on any e-ink device — nothing to install, ~30 ms latency instead of 5.
NOT YETDiagram rebuild. The stroke classifier — box vs arrow vs circle vs text — is the next engineering task and the first attempt scored zero. The screens exist. The rebuild does not. Honest state: not working.
NOT YETScrawled pages and diagrams. Recognition is good on writing laid out in lines (~97% of regions). On rough scratch pages it is not reliably measured, and we won't quote a number we don't have.
NOT YETSupernote and Kindle Scribe. Not read.
NOT YETPhotographing paper notebooks. The biggest expansion of who this is for, and not started.
NOT YETDevice pairing. The sync server filters by local address range. That stops a stranger in a café; it isn't yet security.
NOT YETSigned installers. Both apps run; neither is packaged for download. See get the app.
NOT YETCommitment extraction and meeting-audio index. Slice three. Not started.
NOT YETCertifications. None held. The honest table is on the security page.
NOT YETHardware. Nothing has been manufactured. Four written conditions gate it — see the device.

What comes next

Three slices, in order.

Each one has to reach a real person's hands before the next one starts. No horizontal layers, no half-built platform waiting for the rest of itself.

SLICE 01 · RUNNING

“Pour the old archive in, and find things”

Import raw strokes from reMarkable and Boox — not PNGs. Local index, full-text search across every notebook and device, batch processing of the backlog. Even the rough version beats what the whole industry ships.

SLICE 02 · NEXT

“A scrawled map, cleaned up”

Stroke-level semantics: which shape is a node, which is an edge, what was drawn first. Re-layout, export to Mermaid, SVG and OPML — and publish a benchmark for handwritten diagrams, because nobody has one.

SLICE 03 · AFTER

“Don't forget what you promised”

Pull commitments and open loops out of the notes, so the archive stops being a graveyard. Handwriting becomes the index into your meeting recordings — one user has already built this by hand, which is the clearest signal there is.

Where this is heading, stated once and not sold as a slogan: the notebook is one input. An audio recorder is the second, with evidence behind it. The immutable archive underneath, and the MCP door on top of it, are what stay constant. A second input does not open until the first one works end to end.

Software pricing

Draft, and we'll say so.

Two pieces of evidence point in opposite directions and both are real: some of the people who want this most are furious about subscriptions, and yet 568,000 reMarkable owners pay a monthly fee. Which is true depends on who turns out to want this — which is exactly what the wishlist is for.

Tier	Draft price	Who	What's in it
Free	$0	Anyone	Local import and search, one device, 200 pages
Personal	$9/month	Knowledge workers	Unlimited, every device, diagram rebuild, MCP
Pro	$29/month	Consultants, solo lawyers	Commitment extraction, meeting-audio index, batch export
Firm	$49/seat	Practices, 5 seats up	Encryption, MDM/Intune, SSO, remote wipe, data residency, BAA, SOC 2

Two things we won't do: charge a subscription purely to unlock sync — that's the thing reMarkable customers resent most, and inheriting that resentment is a gift — and lock your data in. The 200-page free tier is a limit on volume, not on days, because the moment this product earns its keep is when you pour your old archive into it.

For scale: break-even is around 730 paying customers. Not a million users. reMarkable alone has roughly 600,000 people already paying for note software — 730 is 0.12% of that.
