My biggest reservation about remarkable is the subscription service. How is the experience if you don’t pay for the Connect service?

- SuperShibe 1y agonot exactly what you asked for but there's a community project you can selfhost[1] that emulates the cloud on your own server [1]https://github.com/ddvk/rmfakecloud https://github.com/ddvk/rmfakecloud
- loughnane 1y agoI use rmfakecloud even though i'm grandfathered in to the cloud. It's great. I locked the fw on my remarkable 2 to 2.x and used ddvk hacks and it's just worked for years. I don't need any new features.
- Groxx 1y agoI've been considering downgrading tbh. The new stuff is mostly good, but the infinite-page conflicts a lot with other gestures (I really wish I could disable it) and it's overall noticeably slower nowadays.
- loughnane 1y agoFor a while I kept feeling the urge to upgrade. Now I view it as an appliance so the urge is gone.
- summermusic 1y agoI'm curious too, because there is a help page[1] linked in the FAQ that appears to be completely blank! [1] https://support.remarkable.com/s/article/Using-reMarkable-without-a-subscription https://support.remarkable.com/s/article/Using-reMarkable-wi...
- SuperShibe 1y agohuh that loads for me. appears to require some javascript tho. please note that no subscription != no cloud. of the features listed in the help page all but "tags" require an remarkable cloud account and may stop working if remarkable cloud ever shuts down.
- toomim 1y agoIt's fine. You really don't need to pay for the connect service.
- chrisweekly 1y agorm2 owner since it was released over 5y ago. connect service works well but is wholly optional.
