The new app version has been submitted to the App Store and both have been approved. I just hit the button to distribute them so you should be getting the update soon if not already. ![](https://storage.ghost.io/c/d3/68/d3684a67-f3a9-4c11-9d37-bc9fc8fe73ed/content/images/2024/10/-Announcing-a-Simply-Customize-It-Update----pinterest.jpg) *Tested only on the reMarkable 2 and reMarkable Paper Pro.* ## Unfortunately It’s More Work for You With the Paper Pro Although the app now works with the new reMarkable Paper Pro... it doesn't work right out of the box per se. My app works over WiFi connection so your iPhone/iPad/computer (whichever device has Simply Customize It) needs to be on the same network as the reMarkable *AND* the reMarkable Paper Pro will need to have it's `WLAN` turned on. To do that you will need to switch your device to be in `Developer Mode`, connect while over `USB`, and turn on `WLAN` by typing in `rm-ssh-over-wlan on`. I published [a *how to* previously that can be found here](https://www.simplykyra.com/blog/learn-how-to-access-your-remarkable-paper-pro-through-the-command-line/#steps-for-ssh-capabilities): [Learn How to Access Your reMarkable Paper Pro Through the Command LineWith the new reMarkable Paper Pro out I realized I needed to update my How To Connect post... here it is!![](https://storage.ghost.io/c/d3/68/d3684a67-f3a9-4c11-9d37-bc9fc8fe73ed/content/images/icon/Favicon_Transparent_60.png)Simply KyraKyra![](https://storage.ghost.io/c/d3/68/d3684a67-f3a9-4c11-9d37-bc9fc8fe73ed/content/images/thumbnail/compressed_IMG_9201-1.jpeg)](https://www.simplykyra.com/blog/learn-how-to-access-your-remarkable-paper-pro-through-the-command-line) That said, I need to also warn you that setting your reMarkable Paper Pro into developer mode will reset it and you'll have to do the introductory onboarding steps again. I have a Connect account so I was able to re-download all of my files with no fuss once I was logged in again and haven't had an issue yet but I also haven't attempted to revert it back either. Check out [the warning](https://www.simplykyra.com/blog/learn-how-to-access-your-remarkable-paper-pro-through-the-command-line/#warning) I included in the above post for more information. Essentially though it sounds like if you change your mind later about Developer Mode and want to exit apparently you're required to walk through the software recovery steps [found, through reMarkable, here](https://support.remarkable.com/s/article/Software-recovery??ref=simplykyra.com). ## Changes The biggest change to the app is that it now works with the new reMarkable Paper Pro! That being said there's a few more changes included: ### Renamed User to Device The functionality stays the same but I renamed the user accounts to devices. I had created the *user* thinking you may want to upload a sleep screen image to your friend's reMarkable or you may live in a household where multiple people have a reMarkable. With three different reMarkable devices out now I decided to rename it although you can still create as many *devices* as you want for as many people as you desire. ![Image shows the changes highlighted in the renamed user to device and the added target device value. For more information read the section above and below this image.](https://storage.ghost.io/c/d3/68/d3684a67-f3a9-4c11-9d37-bc9fc8fe73ed/content/images/2024/10/compressed_Screenshot-Announcing-a-Simply-Customize-It-Update----Image.jpg) ### Added Target Device to Device/User Additionally, there are a couple minor differences between connecting to the prior reMarkable devices and the Paper Pro so I've added *Target Device* to the device section so that the app knows which one it's connecting to. ### Improved Readability on MacOS I noticed awhile back that the readability on the macOS version of the app was all squished together and hard to read. I've since updated the display views to include dividing lines, spacing, and better formatted titling which allows for better readability. ![Collage of two views (template and screen) on the macOS app to show the readability.](https://storage.ghost.io/c/d3/68/d3684a67-f3a9-4c11-9d37-bc9fc8fe73ed/content/images/2024/10/compressed_Screenshot-Announcing-a-Simply-Customize-It-Update----Image2.jpg) ### Less Required Restarting Although we still need to restart your reMarkable to see the custom template changes you will no longer need to restart for newly uploaded screen images. That said, just in case you do want to restart your reMarkable device I've added an extra button to the device (previously user) section so you don't even need to leave the app to restart. ![](https://storage.ghost.io/c/d3/68/d3684a67-f3a9-4c11-9d37-bc9fc8fe73ed/content/images/2024/10/compressed_Screenshot-Announcing-a-Simply-Customize-It-Update----Image3.jpg) ## Works the Same Essentially the app works just the same but can now also work on the reMarkable Paper Pro. ### Screens ![](https://storage.ghost.io/c/d3/68/d3684a67-f3a9-4c11-9d37-bc9fc8fe73ed/content/images/2024/09/compressed_IMG_9197-1.jpeg) ![Two reMarkable side by side with the sleep screen images matched.](https://storage.ghost.io/c/d3/68/d3684a67-f3a9-4c11-9d37-bc9fc8fe73ed/content/images/2024/09/compressed_IMG_9201-4.jpeg) ### Templates ![A new category called "Custom" is shown with a singe blank template called Black.](https://storage.ghost.io/c/d3/68/d3684a67-f3a9-4c11-9d37-bc9fc8fe73ed/content/images/2024/09/compressed_IMG_9402.jpeg) ![Image shows a black paper with the words on it in pink and teal.](https://storage.ghost.io/c/d3/68/d3684a67-f3a9-4c11-9d37-bc9fc8fe73ed/content/images/2024/09/compressed_IMG_9403.jpeg) And with that I wish you a great day.
