reMarkable and Supernote are often compared as devices, but the more interesting difference is the philosophy behind them.
A note from Mitchell: "reManager and the mods I've created would not be possible without the incredible work of others in the community:
- Asivery's suite of tools that make up the "mod framework"
- Fouz
- Ingatellent
- Eeems and the other Toltec developers
If there are mods that end up improving your life or work, please consider clicking on them in reManager and checking for a Donate button to support the creator that made them!"
Kind thanks to you all for the efforts on reManager! Check them out at reManager.io

reMarkable gives you a clean, curated experience that mostly stays out of the way. Supernote feels more open, more community-led, and more welcoming to people who enjoy shaping their own workflow.
In this discussion, I’m joined by Ed and Mitchell to talk through that divide: open versus curated, community development versus official features, plugins, mods, advanced settings, and whether users should have more control over the devices they own.
This is less about which tablet is “best” and more about which kind of e-ink user you are.
