Antara for reMarkable Paper Pro

A thought for today,
on your reMarkable.

Antara turns the Paper Pro sleep screen into a typeset quote card — 2,026 of them, a different one every time you wake the device. Nothing on the system is modified.

stoic collection 32 characters — type — lines

132 → 56 px

One box. Any length. The type finds the size.

Nothing here is a screenshot and nothing is placed by hand. Quotes are text; the renderer wraps them and steps the size down until they fit, then draws them. Same box below, three different lengths — the dashed line is the box.

2,026 across 20

Collections, not one big pile.

Each pack is one file. Rotate all of them, or pick the two you want tonight.

3 commands

Getting it onto your device.

Before

Turn on Developer Mode on the tablet — this wipes it, so let it re-sync first. Then plug it in over USB and install your key: ssh-copy-id root@10.11.99.1

Then

Turn Sleep Screen Illustrations off in Settings. With it on, the firmware draws your last document over the card and you will think the install failed.

Install
make sleepscreen-probe   # does your firmware support it?
make rotation-set        # render the cards
make sleepscreen         # install

Press the power button. A quote is your sleep screen, and it changes every time you wake the device.

Undo

make sleepscreen-remove — it deletes one line from a config file. Your original sleep screen returns because it was never touched.

What it never touches.

This reads undocumented firmware internals, so it is built to leave nothing behind. The card lives in /home beside your notebooks, and the firmware is pointed at it by a single setting it already supports.
