# RMHook

A dynamic library injection tool for the reMarkable Desktop macOS application, enabling connection to self-hosted [rmfakecloud](https://github.com/ddvk/rmfakecloud) servers.

## Overview

RMHook hooks into the reMarkable Desktop app's network layer to redirect API calls from reMarkable's official cloud services to your own [rmfakecloud](https://github.com/ddvk/rmfakecloud) server. This allows you to maintain full control over your documents and data.

### Windows Port

Looking for a Windows version? Check out **[RMHook-Win](https://github.com/NohamR/RMHook-Win)**: A Windows port of RMHook for the reMarkable Desktop application.

## Features

- Network request interception and redirection
- WebSocket connection patching
- MQTT URI modification for screen sharing features

## Compatibility

**Tested and working on:**
- reMarkable Desktop v3.27.2 (released 2026-06-13)

## Installation and usage

⚠️ **For legal reasons, this repository does not include a pre-patched reMarkable app.** However, the latest compiled dylib is available in the [Releases](https://github.com/NohamR/RMHook/releases/latest) section.

### Auto installation

Run in a terminal:
```bash
bash <(curl -sL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/NohamR/RMHook/refs/heads/main/scripts/auto-install.sh)
```

### Manual installation

#### Step 1: Prepare the reMarkable app

Uses the reMarkable Desktop app from your Applications folder or download it fresh from the [Mac App Store](https://apps.apple.com/app/remarkable-desktop/id1276493162).

#### Step 2: Inject the dylib

Use the provided injection script:
```bash
./scripts/inject.sh reMarkable.dylib reMarkable.app
```

This script will:
- Copy the dylib to the app bundle's Resources folder
- Inject the load command into the executable using `optool`
- Remove the code signature and resign with ad-hoc signature
- Remove the `_MASReceipt` folder
- Fix file ownership

#### Step 3: Handle document storage

##### Important path changes

The original Mac App Store version stores data in sandboxed locations:
**Original sandboxed paths:**
- App data: `~/Library/Containers/com.remarkable.desktop/Data`
- Documents: `~/Library/Containers/com.remarkable.desktop/Data/Library/Application Support/remarkable`

**After re-signing, the app is no longer sandboxed** and will use standard paths:
- Config: `~/Library/Preferences/rmfakecloud.config`
- Documents: `~/Library/Application Support/remarkable`

##### Migration options

**Option 1: Create a symbolic link** (recommended)
```bash
ln -s ~/Library/Containers/com.remarkable.desktop/Data/Library/Application\ Support/remarkable \
      ~/Library/Application\ Support/remarkable
```
The symbolic link approach allows you to keep using the original App Store version alongside the patched version.

**Option 2: Move files**
```bash
mv ~/Library/Containers/com.remarkable.desktop/Data/Library/Application\ Support/remarkable \
   ~/Library/Application\ Support/remarkable
```

#### Step 4: Configure rmfakecloud server
Quickly access the configuration file from the app's Help menu:
![help-config.png](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/NohamR/RMHook/main/docs/help-config.png)

Edit the configuration file at:
```
~/Library/Preferences/rmfakecloud.config
```

Example configuration:
```json
{
  "host": "your-server.example.com",
  "port": 443
}
```

#### Step 5: Launch the patched app :p

## Configuration

The config file (`~/Library/Preferences/rmfakecloud.config`) supports the following keys:
| Key    | Type    | Default           | Description                    |
|--------|---------|-------------------|--------------------------------|
| `host` | String  | `example.com`     | Your rmfakecloud server host   |
| `port` | Number  | `443`             | Your rmfakecloud server port   |

If the config file doesn't exist, it will be created automatically with default values on first launch.

## Troubleshooting

### App won't launch
- Ensure the code signature was properly applied
- Check that `xattr -cr` was run to clear quarantine attributes
- Verify the dylib is in `Contents/Resources/` folder

### Document sync issues
- Ensure your rmfakecloud server is running and accessible
- Verify the storage path migration was completed

## How it works
RMHook uses [tinyhook](https://github.com/Antibioticss/tinyhook/) to hook into Qt framework functions at runtime:
1. **QNetworkAccessManager::createRequest** - Intercepts HTTP/HTTPS requests
2. **QWebSocket::open** - Patches WebSocket connections
3. **MQTTAsync_createWithOptions** - Modifies MQTT URIs for screen sharing features

When the app attempts to connect to reMarkable's servers (e.g., `internal.cloud.remarkable.com`), the hooks redirect these requests to your configured host and port.

## Building

1. **Clone the repository:**
```bash
git clone http://github.com/NohamR/RMHook
cd RMHook
```

2. **Compile the dylib:**
```bash
./scripts/build.sh [mode]
```

### Build modes

The build script supports different modes for various use cases:

| Mode | Description |
|------|-------------|
| `rmfakecloud` | Redirect reMarkable cloud to rmfakecloud server (default) |
| `qmlrebuild` | Qt resource data registration hooking for QML replacement |
| `dev` | Development/reverse engineering mode with all hooks |
| `all` | Enable all modes |

**Note (qmlrebuild mode):** When using the `qmlrebuild` feature, you must clear the Qt QML cache before launching the app:
```bash
rm -rf ~/Library/Caches/remarkable
```
Qt caches compiled QML files, so changes to QML resources won't take effect until the cache is cleared.

Examples:
```bash
./scripts/build.sh              # Build with rmfakecloud mode (default)
./scripts/build.sh rmfakecloud  # Explicitly build rmfakecloud mode
./scripts/build.sh dev          # Build with dev/reverse engineering hooks
./scripts/build.sh all          # Build with all modes enabled
```
