Floating capture button
Floats over every app, about 5 mm across. Tap it to capture; drag it out of the way. It stays where you leave it.
A free plugin for Supernote
Turn anything on your screen into a note you can write on.
Tap the floating button in any app, drag a box over the part you want, and you're writing on it a second later. In PDFs and EPUBs your handwriting comes along as real ink, with a link back to the page.
01 How it works
-
Read and mark up
A book, a PDF, Kindle, a web page. Anything on your Supernote.
-
Tap, drag a box
The floating button captures the screen. Keep the whole thing or just the part you want.
-
Write on it
A new note opens with your cut-out at the top and the rest of the page free to write on.
02 What it does
Snap region
Box a paragraph, a verse or a chart. Just that part goes at the top of a fresh page, enlarged if it's small.
Your ink stays ink
Snap a PDF or EPUB page and your handwriting comes along as real strokes you can still erase and move.
A link back
Every snap from a document carries a ↩ Book, p. 42 link. One tap and you're back where you were reading.
Screenshot tools
Turn a normal Supernote screenshot into a note, or drop it onto the page you're writing on.
Inbox, margins, export
Collect every snap in one notebook, leave a writing margin, or export a page as PNG.

04 FAQ
Which Supernote models does it work on?
It's tested on the Manta. It's written to work on the Nomad, A5 X and A6 X too, but those are untested so far. If you try one, please report how it went on GitHub.
Does it send anything anywhere?
No. SnapMark asks only for file access and has no internet access. Your snaps are ordinary notes on your device.
Why doesn't it ask permission to capture the screen?
The floating button is native code running inside Supernote's plugin system, which is already allowed to draw over apps and read the screen. SnapMark only captures when you tap the button, and the source code is open if you want to check.
Tapping the button with my pen left a dot on my page.
The Supernote pen writes through anything floating over a page. Keep the button on the file name at the bottom right of a note, where the pen doesn't write, or tap it with your finger.
Where are my snaps saved?
In Note/Snaps/: page snaps in a folder per book, captures in Snaps/Screenshots/, and the optional inbox at Snaps/Snaps inbox.note. You can change the folder in SnapMark's settings.
How do I update?
Install the new .snplg over the old one, then restart your Supernote so the new version is the one running. Your settings are kept.
How do I uninstall it?
Turn the floating button off in SnapMark's settings, then remove SnapMark in Settings → Apps → Plugins. Your snaps stay where they are.
Is it an official Supernote app?
No. SnapMark is an independent, open-source project. It isn't affiliated with or endorsed by Ratta or Supernote.
Something doesn't work.
Please open an issue on GitHub with your device, firmware version, SnapMark version and what you tapped. The troubleshooting table may already have the answer.
