Terms of Use

Slate Drive is a macOS app that shows your reMarkable library as a drive in Finder, sends files to the tablet, reads handwritten text and turns it into documents. It installs on your Mac and runs there; we have no accounts and no sign-up is required.

The app is distributed under the MIT license. Its text ships alongside the build and the source code, and it governs your rights to the code and to copies of it. These terms describe use of the finished app and override nothing in that license.

An active reMarkable Connect subscription and a reMarkable account: your library lives in the reMarkable cloud, and the app reaches it the same way the official programs do. Your relationship with reMarkable AS is your own; its terms and prices are set by reMarkable AS, and we have no influence over them.

macOS 15 or later and a reMarkable 2, Paper Pure, Paper Pro or Paper Pro Move tablet.

Third-party keys, if you choose to use those services: cloud recognition, an AI model, Readwise or Readwise Reader. You obtain the keys yourself, from their owners, and pay those owners directly. The app keeps keys in your Mac’s Keychain and never passes them to us — there is nowhere to pass them, since we have no servers.

The app itself is free. We charge nothing, sell no subscriptions and process none of your payments. The only money you can spend goes to the providers whose keys you entered yourself: cloud recognition, an AI model, Readwise. They do the billing, at their own rates.

We receive none of your notes, documents, recognized text, file names or usage statistics. The app runs on your Mac and reaches the reMarkable cloud directly, along with whatever services you switched on. The full account is on the Privacy page.

The library backup the app writes into a folder you chose consists of ordinary files on your disk. It stays with you after the app is deleted.

Use the app to reach a reMarkable account that isn’t yours and that you don’t have the owner’s permission to access.

Present the app as a reMarkable AS product. Slate Drive is independent: not affiliated with reMarkable AS, not endorsed or sponsored by it. “reMarkable” is a trademark of reMarkable AS.

Infringe anyone’s rights in the material you process and send through the app.

We build it carefully, test it on real libraries and describe on this site only what the build actually does. But we make no warranty of uninterrupted operation, freedom from errors or fitness for your particular purpose, to the extent applicable law allows.

The reMarkable cloud, recognition services and AI models are not our systems. Their availability, quality and terms rest with their owners. A change to someone else’s protocol or pricing can put part of the functionality out of reach.

Keep a backup. The app can make one for you — into an ordinary folder on your disk that Time Machine, or any backup system of yours, will pick up.

To the extent applicable law allows, we are not liable for indirect damages, lost profits, lost data or charges incurred with third-party providers in connection with your use of the app. The app is free, and a reasonable limit on our liability is the amount you paid for it.

None of this limits the rights the law gives you as a consumer and which cannot be waived by agreement.

We may change the app and these terms: a new version is published here, with its date. By continuing to use the app after publication you accept the new version. If it doesn’t suit you, delete the app; the library on your tablet and the copy on your disk remain yours.

You may stop using it at any time: disconnect in settings — this Mac’s access is revoked on the reMarkable server and local data is erased — and delete the app.

These terms are governed by the law of the jurisdiction in which ALTESSA SOLUTIONS INC. is incorporated, without regard to conflict-of-law rules; this does not deprive you of the protection of mandatory rules where you live.
