Project 3: Rocketbook integration with Joplin
Added 2024-12-17 14:19:40 +0000 UTCJoplin is partnering with a French government institution to bring you innovative new features! We will work on accessibility, voice typing, HTR and add Rocketbook integration. Today we'll present the planned Rocketbook integration:
Rocketbook is a popular brand of smart notebooks designed to make note-taking more efficient and sustainable. These notebooks feature special erasable pages that you can write on with specific pens and then wipe clean with a damp cloth. What makes Rocketbook even more appealing is its ability to scan and upload your notes to cloud services for easy storage and sharing.
We plan to create an integration between Rocketbook and Joplin, designed to make the note-taking process even smoother. While Rocketbook typically works through its own official app, we plan to integrate it directly into Joplin without relying on third-party apps or APIs. This means that you can enjoy the benefits of Rocketbook’s smart features while using Joplin as your primary note-taking platform.
The great thing about this integration is that it’s not limited to just Rocketbook. As long as the smart notebook uses QR codes to identify pages, the same functionality will work. This means you can use Joplin with a wide variety of smart notebooks, making it a versatile tool for all your note-taking needs.
With this integration, we’re making it easier than ever to combine the power of smart notebooks with the flexibility of Joplin’s open-source platform. Whether you're using Rocketbook or another smart notebook, Joplin will be ready to help you organise and access your notes in the cloud!
Comments
They are not sponsoring us for this. The purpose of Rocketbook is to be able to use a physical notebook and pen, takes notes with it, and then import these notes into Joplin. So it will be possible to search them, export them, etc. It's the convenience of physical notebooks without losing the archival capabilities of Joplin. Rocketbook is just one brand of "intelligent notebooks" as they are called. Joplin will be compatible with these but also with any other intelligent notebook. You could also potentially print your own from freely available sheets. There's no vendor locking with Rocketbook.

2025-02-03 15:46:42 +0000 UTCIs Rocketbook sponsoring you for this? I'm just a bit surprised to see Joplin spending time to work on a feature for a commercial brand 😕 If they are paying a lot and the money will go to develop other features, then I guess it's fine 🙂

2025-01-25 11:51:43 +0000 UTCThis is fantastic! I used to use Rocketbook products quite frequently, but hated the tie in with their app. Being able to use Joplin for this functionality would be stellar! Thank you so much

2024-12-18 14:29:38 +0000 UTCNo we wouldn't be able to use Rocketbook's OCR as they don't expose their API. Joplin will handle the OCR (this will be as part of project 4)
