The Ultimate Guide to reMarkable Move Templates: 7.3″ Layouts (2026)
The reMarkable Paper Pro Move is a masterpiece of miniaturization. By shrinking the e-ink experience down to a 7.3-inch “pocket” format, reMarkable has created the perfect device for journalists, field engineers, and commuters. However, this new form factor introduces a critical problem: legibility. If you try to use a standard PDF planner designed for an A5 or A4 screen, the text becomes microscopic.
To use this device effectively, you cannot simply recycle old files. You need dedicated **remarkable move templates** that are engineered for the 954 x 1696 resolution. These layouts account for the narrower aspect ratio, use larger line heights for handwriting, and leverage the Canvas Color display to organize information without clutter. In this guide, we will explore the best templates for the small screen and how to avoid the “shrinking trap.”
Why 7.3″ Changes Everything
The screen of the Move is not just smaller; it is a different shape. While the larger reMarkable tablets have a 3:4 aspect ratio (like a sheet of paper), the Move is closer to 9:16 (like a tall smartphone). This means that standard **remarkable move templates** need to be Vertical First.
If you force a horizontal weekly calendar onto this screen, the columns become so narrow that you can’t write a word longer than “Lunch” without hitting the edge. As noted by PCWorld, the device excels at “list-making and rapid logging,” and your templates should reflect that. You need vertical lists, not horizontal grids.
3 Essential Layouts for the Move
When curating your library of **remarkable move templates**, focus on these three designs that maximize the limited screen real estate.
1. The “Steno” Pad
Modeled after the classic journalist’s notebook, this layout features a single vertical line down the center.
Use Case: Meeting notes. You write “Cues” or “Topics” on the left narrow column, and detailed notes on the right wide column. This mimics the Cornell method but adapted for a tall screen.
2. The Vertical Weekly Stack
Forget the “Monday to Wednesday” horizontal spread. The best weekly view for the Move stacks the days on top of each other (Monday at the top, Sunday at the bottom).
Use Case: Planning your week. This gives you the full width of the device to write sentences like “Call John about the Q3 report,” which wouldn’t fit in a grid box.
3. The “Pocket” Kanban
Instead of three columns side-by-side, which is impossible on 7.3 inches, a Move-optimized Kanban uses “Zones.”
Use Case: Project management. The top half of the page is “To Do,” separated by a bold line from the bottom half, “Done.” You physically drag items down as you complete them.
Color Coding on Small Screens
On a small device, clutter is the enemy. You cannot afford to have thick borders or large headers taking up space. This is where the Canvas Color display saves the day. The best **remarkable move templates** use color to create structure without taking up pixels.
- Red Margins: A thin red line on the right side of the page can designate an “Action Item” zone. You don’t need to write a header; the color tells you what it is.
- Blue Grids: Using a pale blue graph background allows you to sketch diagrams that guide your hand but disappear when you read the black ink.
According to Wired Magazine, this “semantic use of color” allows for higher information density on smaller screens.
DIY Specs: Make Your Own
If you want to design your own **remarkable move templates** using tools like Canva or Adobe Illustrator, you must use the exact dimensions of the device to avoid blurry lines.
The Golden Specs
- Width: 954 pixels
- Height: 1696 pixels
- DPI: 226
- Margins: Leave 80px on the left side (or right, depending on your settings) for the toolbar.
Pro Tip: Export your files as “PDF Standard.” Do not use PNGs unless you are “hacking” the device’s system files, which we do not recommend for beginners.
How to Install
Getting these files onto your device is straightforward, thanks to the reMarkable cloud.
- Download: Save your chosen **remarkable move templates** (PDF files) to your desktop.
- Open App: Launch the official reMarkable Desktop App.
- Drag & Drop: Pull the file into the app window. It will sync instantly.
- Organize: On your device, long-press the file and use the “Move” function to place it in your “Templates” folder for easy access.
