Desktop app

The reMarkable desktop application enables you to view, LiveView, organize, import, and download files.

Once you have set up the desktop and/or mobile application your device is connected to the reMarkable cloud. All your notebooks, documents and ebooks will be synced across your devices when connected to a Wi-Fi.

The desktop app supports the following versions:

• Windows 7 and newer
• MacOS 10.13 and newer

Due to technical dependencies we are unfortunately not able to support MacOS 10.12 on our desktop versions above 1.7.1. If you are affected by this, you will be able to continue the use of 1.7.1 for a limited time.
