+<h1 style='display: inline' id='using-supernote-nomad-offline'>Using Supernote Nomad offline</h1><br />
+<br />
+<span>I am a note taker. For years, I&#39;ve been searching for a good digital device that could complement my paper notebooks. I&#39;ve finally found it in the Supernote Nomad. I use it completely offline without cloud-sync, and in this post, I&#39;ll explain why this is a benefit.</span><br />
+<br />
+<br />
+<a class='textlink' href='https://supernote.com/pages/supernote-nomad'>Supernote Nomad</a><br />
+<br />
+<span>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&#39;t been any progress (hopefully there will be someday). So I looked into alternative ways to use this device.</span><br />

+<h2 style='display: inline' id='the-joy-of-being-offline'>The Joy of Being Offline</h2><br />
+<br />
+<span>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.</span><br />
+<br />
+<h3 style='display: inline' id='battery-for-days'>Battery for Days</h3><br />
+<br />
+<span>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&#39;s not constantly searching for a network. This makes it a good companion for long trips or intense note-taking sessions.</span><br />
+<br />
+<h3 style='display: inline' id='your-data-is-your-data'>Your Data is Your Data</h3><br />
+<br />
+<span>Privacy was my main concern. By not syncing my notes to Retta&#39;s cloud service, I retain full ownership and control over my data. There&#39;s no risk of my personal thoughts and ideas being accessed or mined by third parties. It&#39;s a simple and effective way to ensure my privacy.</span><br />

+<br />
+<h2 style='display: inline' id='my-offline-workflow'>My Offline Workflow</h2><br />
+<br />
+<span>My workflow is simple and efficient, relying on a direct USB connection to my Linux laptop.</span><br />
+<br />
+<h3 style='display: inline' id='getting-notes-to-my-laptop'>Getting Notes to my Laptop</h3><br />
+<br />
+<span>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 <span class='inlinecode'>Note</span> folder, which contains all my notes as <span class='inlinecode'>.note</span> files. I then copy these files to a dedicated archive folder on my laptop.</span><br />
+<br />
+<h3 style='display: inline' id='converting-notes-to-pdf'>Converting Notes to PDF</h3><br />
+<br />
+<span>To make my notes accessible and shareable, I convert them from the proprietary <span class='inlinecode'>.note</span> format to PDF. For this, I use a fantastic open-source tool called <span class='inlinecode'>supernote-tool</span>. It&#39;s not an official tool from Ratta (the manufacturer of the Supernote), but it works flawlessly.</span><br />
+<br />
+<a class='textlink' href='https://github.com/jya-dev/supernote-tool'>https://github.com/jya-dev/supernote-tool</a><br />
+<br />
+<span>I&#39;ve created a small shell script to automate the conversion process. This script, <span class='inlinecode'>convert-notes-to-pdfs.sh</span>, resides in my notes archive folder:</span><br />

+<span>This script does two things:</span><br />
+<br />
+<ul>
+<li>It finds all <span class='inlinecode'>.note</span> files in the current directory and converts them to PDF using <span class='inlinecode'>supernote-tool</span>.</li>
+<li>It copies the generated PDFs to my <span class='inlinecode'>~/Documents/Supernote</span> folder.</li>
+</ul><br />
+<h3 style='display: inline' id='syncing-to-my-phone'>Syncing to my Phone</h3><br />
+<br />
+<span>The <span class='inlinecode'>~/Documents/Supernote</span> 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.</span><br />
+<br />
+<a class='textlink' href='https://syncthing.net/'>https://syncthing.net/</a><br />
+<br />
+<h3 style='display: inline' id='firmware-updates'>Firmware updates</h3><br />
+<br />
+<span>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):</span><br />
+<br />
+<ul>
+<li>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. </li>
+<li>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.</li>
+<li>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.</li>
+</ul><br />
+<h2 style='display: inline' id='the-writing-experience'>The Writing Experience</h2><br />
+<br />
+<span>The writing feel of the Supernote Nomad is simply great. The combination of the screen&#39;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&#39;s great to write on, and it makes me want to take more notes.</span><br />
+<br />

+<br />
+<h2 style='display: inline' id='conclusion'>Conclusion</h2><br />
+<br />
+<span>The Supernote Nomad has become an additional tool for me. By using it offline, I&#39;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&#39;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.</span><br />
+<br />
+<span>The Supernote didn&#39;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.</span><br />
