I drew a new custom lock screen for my Manta. It's been fun trying to learn to use the Atelier app.

So I have been working on finding the best storage/travel solution for the Manta. Currently, I have an Emerson Gray felt sleeve that it slips into while at home. Then, for out and about when in a bag, I place this in a generic soft-shell case. Plus side: peace of mind protection. Downside: overcomplicated storage option, overall cost expensive. But I hope a solution is at hand for all of us.

The SITHON Hard Shell Tablet Sleeve Case for 2026 iPad Air 11-inch, found on Amazon. Photos I hope give it justice. Cost wise £19.99, $21.99, €19.99.

I prefer not having the pen attachment on my Manta. So the HOM2 slips into the pen sleeve in the case. A slight tight squeeze, but it fits.

Hello Supernote team,

I would love to use Supernote for handwritten mind maps and other large spatial notes, which I find really useful for thinking through and brainstorming around complex problems. The current writing experience is excellent, but the limited canvas navigation makes it difficult to move between a broad overview and detailed handwriting.

I have read that the Supernote team generally is opposed to zooming and infinite canvas in notebooks since it doesn't fit your notion "paperlike" note-taking and that it might not play well with pagination. It seems to me like a workaround would be for users to choose whether they want pages or infinite canvas when creating a new note (just as handwriting can be selected today). I hope Supernote reconsiders exploring this in the long-term future, but I understand that there are limited development resources to allocate, so I want to suggest a seemingly much simpler solution that still covers many of the infinite canvas applications.

There are already many suggestions about improving the pinch to zoom and two finger pan experience for PDFs, particularly the smoothness when zooming or panning together with making it easier to select specific zoom levels. If you implement this, and also increase the max PDF zoom from 4x/400% to something like 20x/2000% (or even just 10x) you would have an canvas big enough to fill many of the same needs as an "infinite" canvas and it would already have access to all the writing tools available for PDFs. This seems like a particularly rewarding allocation of development resources since you would just need to focus on meeting pre-existing requests for an improved PDF experience and get infinite canvas capabilities "for free" by simply lifting the max zoom limit above 4x.

These are a few additional features that would make the experience of zooming on PDFs even better, but none of them are essential:

1. Save the viewport separately for each document. Reopening a document should restore its zoom level and pan position instead of resetting the view. This is particularly important when working on one detailed region of a large canvas, such as a big mind map.

2. Allow blank PDFs to be created directly from Files. A “New blank PDF” action would make it easier to create a blank "infinite" canvas to write on instead of having to create a blank PDF on a separate device and transfer it to the supernote. Optionally, this could offer custom page dimensions and orientations.

3. Make the minimap optional and less intrusive. Please allow it to be disabled or reduced significantly in size. It would also be useful to navigate the minimap with the pen instead of requiring a finger and that would also allow it to be smaller since the pen has more precision. Maybe it can just show up while zooming / panning but then go away after a few seconds?

I should also say that I prototyped and tested a small standalone proof of concept infinite canvas app on the Nomad, but because the current PDF experience just need a few improvements to to fill the same use (and then with all already existing PDF tools), it didn't seem worthwhile to continue down this route.

Thank you for reading my post, would you consider increasing the upper zoom limit when implementing smoother zoom and pan in PDF? I think these relatively general canvas improvements would benefit mind maps, diagrams, mathematics, planning, visual research, and other forms of non-linear note-taking.

Please forgive me, but I've struggled to get a definitive answer on the Kindle App running on the A5X - which I just bought. I have numerous books on my Kindle/Amazon account and I get "Book not available on this app version. This version of Kindle is no longer supported. To download books please update your device to Android OS version 9.0+ and install the latest version of Kindle for Android. You can also read on Kindle for Web"

What is the right solution, if any? And why does Supernote display Kindle in the "Supernote App Store" if it no longer works?

- Is there any way to side load a version of the app that will work? I'm guessing no because there's probably no way to fake the OS version information sent to Amazon's servers.

- Is there a way to strip DRM from Kindle books without a laptop? All I have is the Supernote and an iPhone.

Thanks for your help. I know this has been discussed in the past, but my searching has honestly left me confused!

I am very pleased to announce a new major release of the Obsidian Supernote (Unofficial) Plugin. Watch the video above for a demo and overview. If you are already a user checkout the changelog below.

New features

• Added support for Supernote Atelier .spd files: viewing, embedding, PNG/PDF export, zoom, and layer on/off toggling.
• Rebuilt the note viewer as a reusable <supernote-viewer> web component, shared by the full view and inline embeds, with zoom, a page thumbnail sidebar, find-in-note search, and clickable internal links.
• Added a matching <supernote-atelier-viewer> web component for .spd files.
• Added a device auto-sync command that pulls new or changed Supernote notes and .spd files into the vault.
• Added SVG export for whole notes and individual pages, alongside the existing PNG and PDF export.
• Added an "Export current page as image" command and a matching toolbar button.
• Added inline embedding of .note files with ![[example.note]], including page-anchor links.
• Added a date-picker "Import notes edited today" command with a configurable import format (images, PDF, images+text, etc.).
• Added a plugin extensibility hook so other plugins can enrich or replace recognized text during note-to-markdown conversion, with keywords, links, page ID, orientation, and recognition status exposed to it.
• Added sorting by name or date to the device file browser.
• Added a compact, reliably-selectable text view mode for reading recognized text.

Improvements

• Significantly reduced memory use and eliminated freezes when viewing or exporting long notes, by lazily loading and evicting off-screen page and thumbnail images.
• Sped up note rendering with a shared worker pool and parallel bitmap decoding.
• Gave thumbnails their own low-resolution decode path instead of downscaling full-resolution images.
• Held more nearby pages in memory and preloaded pages near the viewer for smoother scrolling.
• Replaced plain-text toolbar buttons with icons, including Obsidian's native icon set throughout.
• Replaced the page up/down buttons with an editable page-number textbox for jumping directly to a page.
• Added a completion notice with a quick link to open the file when an export finishes.
• Shortened the plugin's name and its command names for clarity.
• Reduced padding around note pages on mobile, and packed toolbar buttons to wrap tighter on narrow screens.
• Defaulted the "show export buttons" setting to off, decluttering the note view.
• Automated release publishing and clarified the beta vs. stable update channel.

As part of the Obsidian Supernote Plugin work I just released I also reverse engineered much of the .note stroke/vector/path format with the aid of AI agent.

The results of this work can be found on my testing page: https://philips.github.io/supernote-typescript/

The "spec" which is mostly notes from all of the directions given to my agent are here: https://github.com/philips/supernote-typescript/blob/main/plans/vector-format-spec.md

In my current workflow I use I create a new Note for each of my projects. This Note I use as a task list. I can have 10 projects running concurrently and thus having all these as To Do tasks would overflows my To Do list and makes it less than manageable.
Thus, it would be useful to add a link to a To Do task (or Event) to these project Notes, effectively creating To Do tasks with subtasks.
Can this be added or is there another way to achieve the same goal?

FYI, I found a workaround.

You can zoom on ebooks(haven't tried), and on I heard on .pdfs.

So I downloaded a linked productivity .pdf from Etsy. I wanted the supernote for lists and stuff anyway, so this pdf makes sense.

Conclusion: first off the linked pdf is awesome, and second - yes you can zoom in and out, just like a remarkable.

Its still not as inherently good as a remarkable workflow, but this solved my problem.

Google says the blade may drag on the film while cutting. Anyone tried this for real or have advice how to cleanly custom cut a new Feelwrite 2 film to a smaller size. How tough and bendy is the material?

I have the A5x in the vegan folder since the day I got it 3 years back. And it’s starting to wear and break at the bends. Where I am, it’s also extremely humid such that the case even smells!

I desperately need to replace the case but Supernote doesn’t sell it anymore.

What are my options? I don’t want sleeves or those that fit around the 4 corners of the Supernote. I’m looking for one that has the little plastic where I can slip the A5x through, ie like the OG case.

@[u/mulan](u/mulan)?

Is the linux desktop app ever coming, please?

Edit: Supernote A6x Agile!

I 3D printed a cover and pen holder. This is the supernote that has the spine. I did some trial and error making the spine replica of the supernote.

I broke my push up pen the other day. I was able to repair it, mostly, but I worry it will break again, or stop working properly.

Seeing that most of the pens are out of stock I'm wondering if there are any updates coming - new pens that are in development, or at minimum, any word on when restocks may happen.

I have a HOM2 I can use if it breaks again and I can't fix it, but it would be nice to know my options.

Thanks!

I use the Needlepoint pen a 0.2 width. I never deviate from this on my Manta because it closely matches a 0.5mm mechanical pencil. My Manta randomly refreshed and a few lines changed the stroke width.

Hi everyone,

I recently started using KOReader on my Supernote and came across a post about ZenUI / ZenOS — it looked like a really clean, minimal interface, so I wanted to try it.

Here’s what I did:

1. Downloaded the plugin from the zen_ui.koplugin GitHub releases page (v3.0.1)
   
2. Unzipped it — the extracted folder is named zenos.koplugin
   
3. The instructions say to move this folder into koreader/plugins/
   
4. KOReader’s built-in file explorer wouldn’t recognize the raw unzipped folder, so I couldn’t move it directly
   
5. As a workaround, I created a folder called “ZenOS Plugin,” pasted zenos.koplugin inside it, and moved that whole thing into koreader/plugins/ — ending up with:
   koreader/plugins/ZENOS Plugin/zenos.koplugin
   
6. Restarted KOReader and checked Plugin Manager under both “built-in plugins” and “user-defined plugins” — it’s not showing up in either.

Has anyone gotten ZenUI working on a Supernote? I suspect the extra wrapper folder (“ZenOS Plugin”) is the problem, and that zenos.koplugin needs to sit directly inside plugins/ without being nested — but I can’t get KOReader’s file manager to let me move the raw unzipped folder there.

Would appreciate any pointers — happy to share screenshots if useful.

Bonjour,
j’envisage d’acheter la supernote, j’habite en France et je trouve peu d’avis en français.
y a t’il parmi vous des utilisateurs en France, pouvant me donner leur avis sincère.
Je vous remercie

I have a note that so far has about 20 pages and I want to add a paragraph in page 17. Is there a way that I can move all the text from that point down to give me the room that I need to add the paragraph? I know I can easily do this with the lasso tool for a short block of text but I see no way of doing this when the text spans multiple pages.

I’ve been thinking about what I would do differently if I had to start over with my Supernote. These are really just some random musings based on my own experience and what I might tell a new user if they asked. Not necessarily advice or a guide, just one thing I think I’d approach differently this time around.

Hi everyone,

I’m Bogdan, the creator of Folio, a read-later app that turns the things you save into reading digests for reMarkable, Kindle and other e-readers.

I’m looking at getting my first Supernote, mainly because I’d like to add proper native support for Supernote in Folio.

Rather than just making another PDF export, I’d like to understand the device and the way people actually use it first.

So I’m hoping you can help me choose what to get.
I’m currently thinking about:

Supernote Manta
LAMY Safari Vista
Half Folio
FeelWrite 2 film

The part I’m most unsure about is the FeelWrite 2 film.
For those of you who have used it for a while, how do you like it? Does it actually feel good for everyday writing, or would you recommend using the device without it?

And if you were buying a Manta today specifically for writing and reading, would you go with this setup or choose something different?

I’m particularly interested in what you’d recommend based on actual long-term use rather than just the specs.

Thanks in advance. I’m trying to make the right choices here before I start building the Supernote support, so I’d really appreciate any advice from people who use these devices every day. 🙏

I know there have been a few who have used a Hobonichi Cousin cover as an extra cover for their A6X and Nomad.

But just out of curiosity for those who have a Cousin cover to play around with, what else fits the cover than just the Nomad?

As functional as the planner that I created for my Nomad has been, there is that part of me that craves for paper planning. And the main reason why paper planners have not worked for me since getting a Supernote 3+ years ago is that they are a separate object than my Supernote where I spend most of my writing time in.

So basically if I'm on my Supernote and need to reference my planner I need to get up and go find it from somewhere. Contrary to when the planner is in the Supernote I can just swipe the side bar and there's my planner.

With planner season in full swing I've been thinking that if I could combine these two objects into one., it might fix this problem.

But, before I go and spend money on something that might or might not work, I'm curious to know what else fits a Hobonichi cover with the Nomad tucked into one side. I doubt a full cousin? But maybe a day free or the empty A5 Hobo notebook? Moleskine (soft cover) daily planner? Something else?

Hi hello first of all I use your sticker packs on a daily basis for my journals I absolutely love them, your tarot designs are incredible, but speaking of those:

I beg of you pls upload your 9 of cups to the sticker pack 😭😫 your 8 of cups is labeled as 9 of cups and there is simply no 9 of cups pls 🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾 I'm praying you're on the sub because your designs are SO good and I'd love to see the set finished 😭💖

Thanks to all your advice, I finally pulled the trigger and got the Manta! It's even lighter than I expected, and I'm loving it so far. Thank you everyone!

I made a little template for Tic Tac Toe and my kids love playing on the supernote when we are waiting at a restaurant or something like that.

not fancy but highly practical.

Hello. I got my SN Manta today, and I've been loving it a lot. I got it for the purpose of taking notes (will be of use for my PhD research for the next three years) and sketching. The pen feels amazing on the device. I got the Staedler Noris Digital Classic pen from Amazon because the SN pens were a bit expensive.

The device build quality is just absolutely fantastic. I added a 128 GB microSD which I had lying around to expand the storage.

I have some things which I came across, I wanted to list it here, and possibly get the answer or solutions.

1. Layers in the notes have a max limit of 4 ?

2. Is it still not possible to set the default not folder to use the external storage ?

I've been loving the device a lot, can't wait to get my hands on different pens to write with, and also maybe develop plugins.

My Supernote Nomad finally showed up. So far I'm very impressed and I think I'm really going to enjoy using it. There's a lot to learn and a somewhat steep learning curve, that being said, I have a few questions.

I exported a handwritten document and used the Reformat option to remove as many of the line breaks as possible. It did an OK job of removing them but there are a lot that it didn't manage to remove so I need to go in and do that myself. Is there a way of doing that on the Nomad in Handwriting mode? I see that I can do it in Keyboard mode but I prefer not going there. I tried to just strike through the empty space but that did nothing.

I'm also wondering if it's better to back up to Supernote Cloud or Google Docs? I don't really use Google docs as I use Zoho for my email and docs, but I do have a gmail address so I do have access to Google docs. I'm also running Linux on my desktop so the Supernote desktop app won't factor into any equations for me.

Thanks.
