About Simply Customize It

Simply Customize It handles the technical side of personalizing a reMarkable tablet so the user doesn't have to. Templates and screen images sync over SSH/SCP, but the app hides all of it behind buttons so customization with no terminal, no command line, no fear of breaking the device.

Kyra built the app after a curiosity about changing her reMarkable's sleep screen turned into blog posts, SSH scripts, and eventually a full app. It spent nearly three years as a side project before its May 2024 release, and has been updated continuously since including day-one support for the reMarkable Paper Pro the October it came out and, more recently, the 1.4.0 update in July 2026 that added true one-tap recovery after firmware wipes.

Key Features

  • Import, edit, and sync custom templates in PNG, SVG, and native .template format, with filtering, sorting, grouping, and multi-select cleanup
  • Add screen images (including your sleep screen) individually or as a group for faster re-uploads
  • Firmware-Ready storage keeps your customizations safe in the app, since reMarkable wipes its own file system on every update
  • One-Button Recovery: set up once per device, then clean up, sync, and restore everything a firmware update wipes with a single tap
  • Manage multiple reMarkable devices with separate, isolated profiles
  • Step-by-step onboarding walks you through connecting and syncing from the very start, including enabling Developer Mode on Paper Pro devices
  • Dimension warnings catch a mismatched template or screen image before it reaches your device
