Tiny reMarkable

A macOS menu bar app for uploading PDFs (and images) to your reMarkable tablet and downloading documents back as PDF via the reMarkable cloud.

How it works

• AppKit NSStatusItem + native NSMenu. Cloud access goes through ddvk/rmapi, which isn't bundled — on the first cloud action the app downloads the release matching your Mac's architecture and caches it in ~/Library/Application Support/tinyreMarkable/, so rmapi updates are picked up without a new app release.
• Auth: reuses the devicetoken from the official reMarkable desktop app if it's installed. Otherwise the menu offers Sign in to reMarkable…, which opens my.remarkable.com and pairs with an 8-character one-time code.
• Download: a plain uploaded PDF is exported as-is; a PDF you wrote on has its ink rendered locally and composited onto each page; a pure handwritten notebook is rendered page by page. Rendering runs in parallel, and single-page exports only render the page you ask for.

Install

Grab the latest .dmg from Releases and drag Tiny reMarkable to Applications.

macOS might show a security warning the first time. In that case, go to System Settings > Privacy and Security, scroll down and click open.
