Claude-powered OCR for messy handwriting, but macOS-only and reMarkable's audience is niche.

Strengths
  • •Replaces reMarkable's weak OCR with Claude API, genuinely better recognition for real handwriting
  • •Self-hostable open-source with clean web dashboard and transparent pricing
  • •Automatic background sync via agent eliminates manual exports, fits into Notion workflow
Weaknesses
  • •macOS-only agent severely limits addressable market; Windows users excluded
  • •reMarkable user base is small; integration lock-in to their ecosystem limits leverage

Post Description

I built an open-source cloud service for reMarkable tablets that does three things:

Syncs notebooks from your reMarkable to the cloud via a macOS background agent Runs AI-powered OCR on handwritten pages (Claude API, not Tesseract) Pushes transcribed notes to Notion as searchable pages Stack: FastAPI backend, Next.js dashboard, Python agent. Self-hostable. The reMarkable's handwriting recognition (via Connect) is okay for typed-looking text but struggles with real handwriting. I wanted something better that also gave me web access to my notes and pushed them to Notion where I actually work.

Looking for beta testers — especially people with messy handwriting.
