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.</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'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.</span><br /> -<br /> -<a href='./using-supernote-nomad-offline/nomad2.jpg'><img alt='A picture of the Supernote Nomad' title='A picture of the Supernote Nomad' src='./using-supernote-nomad-offline/nomad2.jpg' /></a><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.

For this, I use a fantastic open-source tool called <span class='inlinecode'>supernote-tool</span>.

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'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.</span><br /> -<br /> -<a href='./using-supernote-nomad-offline/nomad1.jpg'><img alt='Another picture of the Supernote Nomad' title='Another picture of the Supernote Nomad' src='./using-supernote-nomad-offline/nomad1.jpg' /></a><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'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.</span><br /> -<br /> -<span>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.</span><br /> -<br /> -<span>Other related posts:</span><br /> -<br /> -<a class='textlink' href='./2026-01-01-cloudless-kobo-forma-with-koreader.html'>2026-01-01 Cloudless Kobo Forma with KOReader</a><br /> -<br /> -<span>E-Mail your comments to <span class='inlinecode'>paul@nospam.buetow.org</span> :-)</span><br /> -<br /> -<a class='textlink' href='../'>Back to the main site</a><br /> -<p class="footer"> - Generated with <a href="https://codeberg.org/snonux/gemtexter">Gemtexter 3.0.1-develop</a> | - served by <a href="https://www.OpenBSD.org">OpenBSD</a>/<a href="https://man.openbsd.org/relayd.8">relayd(8)</a>+<a href="https://man.openbsd.org/httpd.8">httpd(8)</a> | - <a href="https://foo.zone/site-mirrors.html">Site Mirrors</a> - <br /> - Webring: <a href="https://shring.sh/foo.zone/previous">previous</a> | <a href="https://shring.sh">shring</a> | <a href="https://shring.sh/foo.zone/next">next</a> -</p> -</body> -</html> |
