A minimal PDF calendar for the ReMarkable 2, inspired by the Hobonichi
Techo planner. This PDF calendar is created using a script but pre-made
calendars can be downloaded from here.

- Clickable dates for fast navigation!
- From the month view, click the dates to jump to the
corresponding day view page. - From the day view, click the month name to jump to the
corresponding month view page.
- From the month view, click the dates to jump to the
- Hour rulings for each day.

- A4 document size (also supports US letter)
- 5.5mm grid line spacing
- Gentium Font
- Spaghetti code?
To use, simply download a copy of the PDF and upload to the Remarkable 2.
Once uploaded, open the PDF and set the viewing for landscape mode.
Be sure to set the page scaling to fit the screen width.
Continue reading for instructions using the code included in this repository.
- Ensure that both Git and Python3 have been installed.
git clone https://github.com/elainajones/remarkable-calendar.git- This will download the code locally on your machine.
cd remarkable-calendarpython3 -m venv venv- This will create a Python3 virtual environment.
.\venv\Scripts\activate(venv)should appear in the shell.- Linux users only:
. venv/bin/activate
python3 -m pip install -r requirements.txt- This will install necessary dependencies.
The simplest way to run the code is to enter the following command.
The current year will be automatically determined from your computer's
date settings.
python3 main.py
A calendar PDF will be saved locally as calendar.pdf.
The -h or --help option can be added to the end of the command to
show additional options.
python3 main.py --help
This includes the following options to customize the date range.
--start-date- Human readable date with support for multiple formats
- eg:
'2024/09/27'or'Sept 9, 2024'(make sure to enclose inside')
--end-date- Human readable date with support for multiple formats
- eg:
'2024/09/27'or'Sept 9, 2024'(make sure to enclose inside')
Advanced users familiar with Python can customize the font by providing
their own font files.
Important dates can be added to the calendar by editing the 'dates.csv'
file or supplying a custom path using the --date-file argument.
- Rows will be added in the order they are listed.
- If no Long Description is provided, the Short description will be
used instead. - Short descriptions should be kept under 16 chars to avoid overlapping.
- Fixed dates
- Month, Day, and Short Description columns need to be filled
- Non-fixed dates
- Day must be left blank
- Month, Week Day, Order columns need to be filled
The following is the expected structure of the dates.csv file,
including examples for dates you can add. Not all columns need to to
contain values.
| Month | Day | Week Number | Week Day | Order | Short Description | Long Description |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | 1 | New Year's | Happy New year! | |||
| 1 | 7 | Example Range 1 | Example Range 1 | |||
| 1 | 8 | Example Range 1 | ||||
| 1 | 8 | Example Range 2 | Example Range 2 | |||
| 1 | 9 | |||||
| 1 | 9 | Example Range 2 | Example Range 2 | |||
| 5 | Monday | -1 | Memorial Day |
Multiple events can be added for the same day and will be displayed in
the same order they are added. A date range can be achieved by adding
consecutive dates. For overlapping ranges, a blank entry can be added
for alignment (refer to the example table above). The short description
can be left blank for the consecutive days.
For example:
