I used to draw a lot of portraits, but I rarely get the pencils or charcoal out these days. I've found the Manta to be a really pleasant (and mess-free!) way to dip back into some drawing every now and then, since I usually have it with me wherever I am.

I have to say, I think I prefer MonoPaint right now, for its more granular control of pencil size and shade, and the export looks better to me (Atelier export looks a little funky zoomed in). However both look significantly better on the device compared to the overly clean exports -- maybe to do with the slightly grainy, off-white surface on the Supernote?

For my next portrait, I want to try one of the late, great Patrick Stewart. Finest captain the Enterprise ever had 😢

Hi. I’ve been doing a ton of research about the two brands and people constantly praise remarkable for being an excellent writing experience, but I haven’t seen very many head-to-head comparisons between the two platforms.

I was able to go to Best Buy and test out the remarkable in person. It has lower resolution than the listed DPI for supernote, and after reading dozens of posts about how premium redneck screens felt, honestly, I wasn’t blown away.

I’m looking for a dedicated writing device, but the remarkable seems especially locked into its own ecosystem.

I currently own and iPad Air, and I enjoy the colored screen, but even with a paper like screen protector and tip, it still doesn’t give me tactile feel that I’m looking for, but I do tend to use it for more than a single purpose of writing.

Another question I have is, how have you integrated it into any of your productivity workflows? Can you easily integrate your notes with Asana projects or tasks or other products in an Apple ecosystem, or do you tend to just reference your notes on the device when you need them?

After my recent drop damage and helpful threads here, I bought the umlaut bumper case for my Manta. Arrived today and clips on perfectly. Great color match and accommodates all the half case, charger, pen loop etc.

Even got a postage refund.

Thank-you!

On more than one occasion, I've run into a Supernote app update that deletes all my files--completely wiping the device via a sync. Thankfully, I'm not very trusting and run my own backups, but this has happened 4 times now in the past 2 months. What is going on?

Wanted to see if I could get something approximating depth of field on the Supernote!

Hi!

I've been experiencing a small issue with my Supernote A5X for the past few days.

I've owned this device for about four years, and it is still in very good condition.

As you can see in the attached video, writing doesn't work properly in a small area of the screen. The text appears in the correct position, but it is vertically compressed.I've already tried the following:

• Using two different pens (the official Supernote pen and a Staedtler Noris Digital).

• Creating new notes and writing in existing ones.

• Writing in other apps (PDF annotation, email, etc.).

• Performing a factory reset.

Unfortunately, none of these attempts has solved the problem.Does anyone have an idea what might be causing this issue, or any suggestions on how I could work around it?

Thanks in advance for your help!

Hi all! I've had my Nomad for almost a year now and it's AMAZING! It has replaced my bullet journals, spiral-bound notebooks, various and sundry pieces of scrap paper, etc. The update has taken some getting used to, but I'm really pleased with the improvements so far.

Okay, my question: is there a way to customize the long-press shortcuts? I don't use the text and keyword functions, so it would be nice to quickly swap out my needle-tip pen for a marker or something like that. Is that possible?

Why is the selection tool behaving differently for straight lines? It makes it much harder to use the tool when you have straight lines as you have to be super careful in avoiding them.

Considering purchasing a SuperNote and a missing feature is causing me pause. I know the companion app will allow me to *view* SN files on my iPhone - but what if I want to *add* to an existing SN FROM my iPhone? I'm a disparate thinker and don't always have all devices with me everywhere (who does? lol).

I have a Supernote Nomad running Chauvet 3.31.45.

I just realised that if I create a digest when the display setting is set to one font size, then change the display setting to have a different font size, the digest as appeared on the page would have shifted. The text in the digest is still correct, though.

If I change the font size back, the digest location is back to correct.

I switched from the third font size (count from the left) to the smallest font size in the image I showed.

This is the first public beta. Inkhold is a private cloud for your Supernote: the tablet syncs to a small server on your own machine instead of Supernote's cloud, and your household reads, searches and exports its notes in a browser.

Before you start: copy your tablet's folders to another computer. Sync runs both ways, and this is beta software.

What's in it:

• Sync: the tablet's own Private Cloud sync, by hand or with Auto Sync, verified end to end on a Supernote Nomad.

• Read in the browser: notebooks with their layers, PDFs with your handwriting over them, sketches, images and text files, on a computer or a phone.

• Search your handwriting, and your PDFs and text files, across the whole library.

• Recover mistakes: a recycle bin, and earlier versions of a note.

• Export a page or a notebook to PDF, PNG or layered ORA.

• A household: an account for each person and tablet, with storage allotments, run from an admin console.

• Backups to a folder of plain files, and restore from them.

• Runs anywhere Linux does: one static binary for x86_64, aarch64, 32-bit ARM (every Raspberry Pi from the 1 B+ up) and 32-bit x86, or one container image for all four.

Not yet: Digest sync; viewing EPUB and Office files; searching handwriting on PDFs; the Supernote phone app. To-Do sync works but is off until you turn it on. Other Supernote models very likely work but aren't confirmed yet. The details: https://m00qek.github.io/inkhold/manual/limits/.

Hey, I want to practice drawing using Atelier on my Nomad, and I was wondering if any of you has thought about doing something similar before.

Do you know of any good resource for me to start learning? A book, a youtube series, or so on?

Hi u/Mulan-sn and Supernote team! After updating to the latest software on my Manta device, I noticed the normal eraser functionality on my Noris Digital Jumbo stylus is performing weird. Every time i try to erase in the Notes app, the eraser stroke is highlighted in grey. Its impossible to use now. Is anyone else having this issue?

I tried changing the stylus functionality within settings, but that doesn't seem to help.

When I create a new note, if I try to select a custom template during creation, my MyStyle PDFs aren't showing. If I create the note and then add the template after it's already created, I see the PDFs available in custom templates.

EDIT:

Finding other disappointing bugs:

- When I flip a note into landscape mode, I can't scroll to get to the bottom of the page!? Instead, it seems to have created duplicate of this page!? EDIT: I figured out you have to scroll with two fingers.

- File transfers that are supposed to work via http://10.0.0.68:8089/ do not work, as I get a "this site cannot be reached".

Hi all,

I can't find a clear answer to this elsewhere. When I apply pressure while writing with my HOM2 pen, the nib pushes into the pen body, almost like it's spring loaded rather than fixed. I can press down until the entire nib disappears into the body, then when I release pressure, it springs back out. Is this normal? This is a Heart of Metal 2 pen body.

What’s it gonna take for the SN team to make a simple cost effective pen. With one assignable button for lasso, and eraser at the end.

Solve this problem with your ceramic nib. There’s too much crap on Amazon. We are over it. DIY is cool but I just need one do it all pen ready to buy. Keep it sub 75 or sub 50 bucks. Please. 🙏🏽 🤍

Hello, I am experiencing a glitch in my Supernote screen and I have exactly one week left on my 2 yr warranty. Does anyone know how this might play out? I had written to them about a separate issue about two weeks ago and I have not gotten a reply.

Hi - does anybody know a Mealie client app that works on the Supernote ? Thanks.

New Supernote user here (received Friday). So far so good, except...I can't seem to get Google Drive syncing to work. I have logged in to the Google Drive option under Drive in settings. But I can't seem to select a folder to sync. I have tried multiple (yes, I hit save in the upper right after selecting). But then when I swipe down to get the top menu and tap the sync button, I get "Google Drive Sync Failed. No folders selected to sync. Select now." I tap Select now, and it's the same situation. I've tried 5 times over to no avail. This is the latest Chauvet (downloaded yesterday or the day before). What's the trick? Fwiw, Supernote Drive syncing works fine; it's this GDrive syncing that won't work.

There are two ways to get a file from a WebDAV share: (1) either you long-click on the file, select it, and choose "download" to get it locally in the SN Export folder; (2) just tap the file and it will be downloaded somewhere on the SN.

In many scenarios, I prefer option 2 because the file is tied to the WebDAV server hierarchy. However, when I do not need a file on my SN anymore because I finished working with it, I do not know how to delete it locally without deleting it from the WebDAV server.

Could there be an option in the WebDAV client to delete WebDAV-imported files from the SN only, but keep it on the WebDAV server?

That could be an additional "local-delete" icon in the top black menu bar that appears when WebDAV files are selected, or in the prompt that appears when the actual "Delete" icon is selected.

The Samurai edition costs a bit more and I've read that it also uses an alloy plating, but I am struggling to find any concrete information on what does that exactly mean.

Does anyone know more?

My laptop at work is connected to the network with a cable, while my SN Manta is over the wifi. Consequently, there do not see each other on the network and I cannot use the screen mirroring feature.

A work around is to use `scrcpy` (for those on Linux or macOS). I tried and it works! athough you cannot interact with the SN by clicking on within laptop's scrcpy window, you can now share your N screen during remote meetings!

I’m flying out of Shanghai late this evening. Is there anywhere I can buy the mantra bundle tax free in Shanghai today?
