## What it is
A collection of binary patches that add extra features to reMarkable 1 and 2 e-ink tablets, such as pinch-to-zoom, bookmarks, Zen mode, and custom gestures. It works by patching the device firmware binaries for specific firmware versions.

## Use cases
- add pinch-to-zoom to a reMarkable tablet
- enable bookmarks and recent files gestures on reMarkable
- get Zen mode and extra pen shortcuts on reMarkable
- patch reMarkable firmware for additional functionality
- restore deleted files on a reMarkable tablet

## When to choose
