GoKawiilriddle — the diary of Tom Riddle, for the reMarkable Paper Pro
Write on the page with your pen. After a pause, the diary drinks your ink — your words fade into the paper — the page thinks for a moment, and an answer writes itself back in a flowing hand, stroke by stroke, then fades away.
No screen glow, no keyboard, no chat UI. Just ink appearing on paper.
This is the diary from the demo.
🪄 New to this? Start here
You need a reMarkable Paper Pro in developer mode with a launcher installed. If that sounds like a lot, it isn't — remagic walks you through turning on developer mode and sets up everything with one command. Come back here, drop riddle in, and start writing to Tom.
Already have xovi + AppLoad? Download the latest release — a ready-to-drop bundle, no compiler needed — or build from source.
Install the prebuilt bundle
Grab riddle-appload-aarch64.zip from the latest release and unzip it. Copy the folder to your tablet: scp -O -r riddle [email protected]:/home/root/xovi/exthome/appload/ Add an API key: cp oracle.env.example oracle.env in that folder and put your RIDDLE_OPENAI_KEY in it (any OpenAI-compatible key). Or skip it to use pi. In AppLoad: tap Reload, then The Diary. Write, and rest your pen.
⚠️ This modifies your device. It runs as root, stops the vendor UI (in takeover mode), and drives the e-ink engine directly. It has only been tested on a reMarkable Paper Pro (ferrari, aarch64, OS 3.26–3.27). It may not work on other models or OS versions, and you use it entirely at your own risk. Not affiliated with reMarkable AS. Keep SSH access working before you install anything — that is your escape hatch.
