-# Using Supernote Nomad offline
-
-I am a note taker. For years, I've been searching for a good digital device that could complement my paper notebooks. I've finally found it in the Supernote Nomad. I use it completely offline without cloud-sync, and in this post, I'll explain why this is a benefit.

-
-I initially bought it because Retta stated on their website that an open-source Linux firmware would be released soon. However, after over a year, there still hasn't been any progress (hopefully there will be someday). So I looked into alternative ways to use this device.

-## The Joy of Being Offline
-
-In a world of constant connectivity, the Supernote Nomad offers a sanctuary. By keeping it offline, I can focus on my thoughts and notes without compromise of my privacy.
-
-### Battery for Days
-
-One of the most significant advantages of keeping Wi-Fi off is the battery life. The Supernote Nomad can last  a week, on a single charge when it's not constantly searching for a network. This makes it a good companion for long trips or intense note-taking sessions.
-
-### Your Data is Your Data
-
-Privacy was my main concern. By not syncing my notes to Retta's cloud service, I retain full ownership and control over my data. There's no risk of my personal thoughts and ideas being accessed or mined by third parties. It's a simple and effective way to ensure my privacy.

-
-## My Offline Workflow
-
-My workflow is simple and efficient, relying on a direct USB connection to my Linux laptop.
-
-### Getting Notes to my Laptop
-
-I connect my Supernote Nomad to my Linux laptop via a USB-C cable. The device is automatically recognized as a storage device, and I can directly access the `Note` folder, which contains all my notes as `.note` files. I then copy these files to a dedicated archive folder on my laptop.
-
-### Converting Notes to PDF
-
-To make my notes accessible and shareable, I convert them from the proprietary `.note` format to PDF. For this, I use a fantastic open-source tool called `supernote-tool`. It's not an official tool from Ratta (the manufacturer of the Supernote), but it works flawlessly.
-
-=> https://github.com/jya-dev/supernote-tool
-
-I've created a small shell script to automate the conversion process. This script, `convert-notes-to-pdfs.sh`, resides in my notes archive folder:
-
-```bash
-#!/usr/bin/env bash
-
-convert () {
-  find . -name \*.note \
-    | while read -r note; do
-        echo supernote-tool convert -a -t pdf "$note" "${note/.note/.pdf}"
-        supernote-tool convert -a -t pdf "$note" "${note/.note/.pdf}.tmp"
-        mv "${note/.note/.pdf}.tmp" "${note/.note/.pdf}"
-        du -hs "$note" "${note/.note/.pdf}"
-        echo
-      done
-}
-
-# Mage the PDFs available on my Phone as well
-copy () {
-  if [ ! -d ~/Documents/Supernote ]; then
-    echo "Directory ~/Documents/Supernote does not exist, skipping"
-    exit 1
-  fi
-
-  rsync -delete -av --include='*/' --include='*.pdf' --exclude='*' . ~/Documents/Supernote/
-  echo This was copied from $(pwd) so dont edit manually >~/Documents/Supernote/README.txt
-}
-
-convert
-copy
-```
-
-This script does two things:
-
-* It finds all `.note` files in the current directory and converts them to PDF using `supernote-tool`.
-* It copies the generated PDFs to my `~/Documents/Supernote` folder.
-
-### Syncing to my Phone
-
-The `~/Documents/Supernote` folder on my laptop is synchronized with my phone using Syncthing. This way, I have access to all my notes in PDF format on my phone, wherever I go, without relying on any cloud service.

-### Firmware updates
-
-One usually updates the software or firmware of the Supernote Nomad via Wi-Fi. However, it is also possible to update it completely offline. To install the firmware update, follow the steps below (the following instructions were copied from the Supernote website):
-
-* Connect your Supernote to your PC with a USB-C cable. For macOS, an MTP software (e.g. OpenMTP or Android File Transfer) is required for your Supernote to show up on your Mac. 
-* For Manta, Nomad, A5 X and A6 X devices, copy the firmware (DO NOT UNZIP) to the "Export" folder of Supernote; for A5 and A6 devices, copy the firmware (DO NOT UNZIP) to the root directory of Supernote.
-* Unplug the USB connection, tap “OK” on your Supernote to continue, and if no prompt pops up, please restart your device directly to proceed to update.
-
-## The Writing Experience
-
-The writing feel of the Supernote Nomad is simply great. The combination of the screen's texture and the ceramic nib of the pen creates a feeling that is remarkably close to writing on real paper. The latency is almost non-existent, and the pressure sensitivity allows for a natural and expressive writing experience. It's great to write on, and it makes me want to take more notes.

-
-## Conclusion
-
-The Supernote Nomad has become an additional tool for me. By using it offline, I've created a distraction-free and private note-taking environment. The simple, manual workflow for transferring and converting notes gives me full control over my data, and the writing experience is second to none. If you're looking for a digital notebook that respects your privacy and helps you focus, I highly recommend giving the Supernote Nomad a try with an offline-first approach.
-
-The Supernote didn't fully replace my traditional paper journals, though. Each of them has its own use case. However, that is outside the scope of this blog post.
