qrm 0.2.0

PyQt5 based reMarkable explorer

QrM - Qt5 based file explorer for reMarkable

Use a Qt5 based UI to manage view, upload, delete content of/to your reMarkable I/II via SSH.

Project page

Usage

Once configured run qrm to start up a UI, connect to and see a list of content on a (WiFi enabled and switched on) reMarkable device. Drag and drop EPUB and PDF files onto the window to make them available on the device.

Run qrm [ls|list] to list content on the connected device

Run qrm [upload|push] <FILE> [<FILE>] to copy stuff onto the connected device

Run qrm info to see configuration and stuff

Run qrm reboot to .. you know..

Run qrm config-auth <KEY>=<VALUE> ... to configure stuff, e.g.

Please note that currently reMarkable will not recognize file modifications done via SSH - to make new files available you'll have to reboot the device. Run qrm reboot or press the Reboot button to do this via SSH (or reboot it manually).

Configuration

In the UI just enter your credentials, they're getting saved automatically.

The command line interface allows persistant configuration using the config-auth sub-command:

qrm config-auth host=192.168.178.13 password='s0rry_Pl4in+ex+!'

Please note that currently only connection via IP address (rather than hostname) and plaintext password is working. This is subject to change ("of course").

ToDo for v1.0

• Allow hostnames instead of IP addresses
• Make use of shared keys and configuration in ~/.ssh/config
• Support drag&drop to add content in UI
• Support deletion
• Support Pdf
• Support web pages via Pdf

Future features

• Download and manage notes
• Make backups
• Other convenience stuff via SSH, e.g. installing software
