It's a failure of their marketing that they didn't make this clear. The device is capable of working 100% offline. Notes are stored on the device, with cloud sync being optional. File transfer is possible with SSH, or the (poor) app or the equally poor web interface when connecting via USB. You don't have to create an account for the rM cloud, you can use the thing without ever connecting it to the Internet.
- ThrowawayR2 7y agoThanks for clearing that up. Sounds a bit awkward to use offline but that's acceptable, at least to me.
- pushcx 7y agoThe marketing sounds like they've stepped up the app/cloud bits with a browser plugin, etc. Do you know for certain the second version still supports the non-cloud snycing? The support site is incompletely updated for the new device; it's not clear at all if they still permit private operation.
- ACS_Solver 7y agoNo idea about the new model. I'd hope it can still work offline, given the team's background in free software, but who knows. The tech lead sometimes posts here on HN when the rM is discussed, so Martin, if you're reading this, a comment would be great :)

Found an article in the "remarkable 2" section of the support site. No mention of support for offline/private syncing, which is a real shame. (The "read more" links go to v1 pages and seem to be autogenerated.)
