The interaction

Write a line. Rest the pen. The page answers.

You write by hand in a book. When the pen has rested for a few seconds, a short reply writes itself beneath your entry in a different hand. In plain notebooks nothing is answered. The software does this today, running on a reMarkable Paper Pro while the Enchanted Ink device is designed.

Today the software runs as a prototype on a reMarkable Paper Pro. reMarkable isn’t involved and doesn’t endorse it, and we aren’t selling software for reMarkable tablets.

Physical details

The design

A thin, softly rounded graphite body with one generous writing surface and very few visible controls; a warm textile folio; a comfortable, substantial stylus. Materials, dimensions and finish are being finalized and will be published with the specifications.

Enchanted Ink is its own e-ink device, designed for handwriting. The drawings on this site are design illustrations, not photographs.

Materiality

Made for the page.

A precise edge and a quiet surface. The physical design is still being developed; these drawings show the direction, not finished hardware.

  • Pen meets page

  • A quiet profile

  • One rigid screen, folio closing

  • Left on the desk, beside a paper notebook

Privacy and connectivity

Where your writing goes

In the prototype, the tablet itself sends a picture of the page, the book’s instructions and relevant earlier conversation to an AI provider (OpenAI or OpenRouter), and only once remote processing has been switched on; it’s off by default. That provider’s own retention and training rules apply. How our own device will handle this hasn’t been decided.

Offline: Writing works without a connection. Replies don’t: with no connection, or with remote processing switched off, the page says it can’t answer instead.
