Fewer things,
made properly.

Templacity is a small studio: a handful of people who design quiet, well-built templates for e-ink devices, hosts, readers, and home keepers. We publish slowly, on purpose, and we only ship what we’d use ourselves.

№ 01 · Beginnings

It started with one bad planner.

We bought a reMarkable and went looking for a weekly planner that respected the screen. What we found were PDFs ported from print: tap zones in the wrong places, margins that fought the pen, contrast tuned for paper, not e-ink. So we drew our own, for ourselves, and used it for a year before showing anyone.

That’s still how it works. A template earns its place by being lived in first. The person who draws our Scribe layouts owns a Scribe. The person behind the host ledger has run a listing for four years. Nothing here is a guess.

We’d rather make one template that fits a life than forty that fill a store.

Two years on, we’re still small, and we mean to stay that way. A studio you could fit in one room, writing slowly, on purpose.

№ 02 · How a template gets made

Slow is the whole method.

i.

We live in it first.

Every layout begins as a private tool we keep on our own device for weeks. If we stop reaching for it, it never gets a product page.

ii.

We tune it to one screen.

Hit zones, pen feel, margins, contrast, all set for the exact device generation. Nothing is ported; everything is drawn to fit.

iii.

A week of edits.

The same room, the same eyes, the same slow pass over every page. We cut more than we add. Most of the work is taking things out.

iv.

Then we keep it.

When a device changes or a reader writes in, the template follows, on the house, for the life of the file. Buying once is the end of paying.

№ 03 · What we stand for

Three things we won’t trade away.

i.

Taste over volume.

We’d rather publish one template that fits a life than forty that fill a store. Every file goes through the same room, the same eyes, the same week of edits.

ii.

Investment in each niche.

The person who makes our Scribe layouts owns a Scribe. The person behind the host ledger has run a listing for four years. We don’t ship what we don’t use.

iii.

Real customer care.

Replies from people, not macros. A broken file fixed or replaced within a working day.

№ 04 · How we review

How we review.

Templacity is a working template studio first and a publication second. We build planner systems that have to render correctly on real e-ink screens, so device quirks (refresh behavior, pen latency, file handling, screen geometry) are problems we deal with in production, not specs we read about.

i.

Specs come from the source.

Hardware claims trace to manufacturer spec sheets and firmware changelogs, not to other roundups.

ii.

Community reality checks.

Where owners consistently report something the spec sheet hides, we say it and point to where the discussion lives.

iii.

Disclosed incentive, no rented opinions.

We earn money selling our own template bundles, never from device makers. A verdict that steers you wrong would cost us customers who bought templates for the wrong device.

Questions about a verdict or spotted an error? Tell us at [email protected] and we will check it against the sources.

№ 05 · The hands

Small studio, named by what they keep.

We sign our work as a studio, but every hub has a person who actually lives there.

The one who draws
e-ink & planners

Lives on a reMarkable. Believes a good margin is invisible and a bad one ruins the page.

hosting & ledgers

Four years and a hundred-odd stays in. Knows exactly which numbers matter after the first season.

The reader
books & life

Keeps a reading log that doesn’t ruin the reading. Softer paper, warmer rules, fewer fields.

A small stack of cream envelopes tied with twine, a fountain pen resting on a handwritten letter, and a brass letter opener.
The keeper
care & replies

Answers every letter by hand. The reason a refund is a sentence, not a form.
