reMarkable 2 Review: The Best Digital Notebook That Feels Like Paper

If you’ve ever wished for a distraction-free, paper-like digital workspace that lets you think clearly and work anywhere, the reMarkable 2 tablet might just be your dream device. We’ve used this tablet daily for over three years, and it continues to be one of our favorite tools for deep work, creativity, and productivity. Below, we’ll break down what makes the reMarkable 2 so special—and why it deserves a place in your workflow.

📝 A True Paper-Like Writing Experience

Unlike iPads or other tablets, the reMarkable 2 doesn’t try to be everything—and that’s what makes it incredible. Its CANVAS display mimics the tactile feel of paper, offering just the right amount of resistance with the included Marker Plus (which even has an eraser!). Whether you’re jotting notes, sketching, or editing PDFs, it feels like writing with a pen, not tapping on glass. As a big fan of analog writing instruments, there is no comparison between the reMarkable and other tablets.

🧠 Distraction-Free Focus

No app store.
No notifications.
No social media.
Just you and your thoughts.

The reMarkable 2 is designed for focus and deep work. If you’re constantly derailed by alerts or tempted to check emails mid-meeting, this device helps you reclaim your attention.

📁 Organize Everything, Effortlessly

We love how easy it is to organize everything with folders, tags, and cloud sync. You can also:

• Write directly on PDFs
• Convert handwritten notes to text
• Access your content on your laptop or phone using the reMarkable app

With a Connect subscription, your work syncs securely across devices, making it easy to pick up right where you left off.

The reMarkable 2 has never felt outdated or gimmicky. It’s not a replacement for your laptop or phone—it’s a complementary tool built for clarity. From work meetings to personal journaling, it helps you stay in the zone and capture what matters.
