Ink that follows pressure
Press lightly for a fine line and harder for a bold one. Pick a colour and one of four widths for the pen or the highlighter.
Guide · S Pen
An ebook reader for your S Pen
Your Galaxy came with a pen. It would be a shame to read without it. In Tomelet the S Pen writes, highlights and underlines right on EPUB and PDF pages: touch the page and write, hold the side button to erase, rest your palm, turn the page with a finger. Your notes stay with their words, even after you change the font.
Free on Google Play, with no account.
Pick it up and write
Open a book and write. There’s no drawing mode to find first: when the S Pen touches the page, Tomelet turns the stroke into ink and switches Draw on for you. Tap Draw when you’re done, and the page belongs to your fingers again.
Your fingers keep reading while the pen writes. They turn pages, pan and zoom, and the S Pen never drags the page out from under its nib.
Prefer to choose when the pen draws? Turn off Automatic pen input in Settings › Pen & ink.
The S Pen in Tomelet
Everything where your hand expects it.
Pressure, the side button and a resting palm do what pen and paper taught you.
The side button erases
Hold the S Pen’s button as you touch the page and the nib erases; let go and it writes again. The switch is S Pen button erases in Settings.
Rest your palm
Once Tomelet has seen your S Pen, only the pen draws, so your hand can rest on the screen. Draw with finger turns finger ink back on.
Pen tools where you want them
Dock the pen tools at the top, bottom, left or right edge of the page with Pen tools placement in Settings › Pen & ink.
Anchored to the words
Change the font. The note keeps its word.
A pen note belongs to the words it was written beside, not to a spot on the glass. Make the type bigger and it stays with its word: as a note marker beside the line that opens the drawing as you made it, or drawn over the text if you choose Drawing over the text in Settings.

Which Galaxy devices work?
Tomelet reads the S Pen on Galaxy phones and tablets that have one, such as a Galaxy S Ultra or a Galaxy Tab S. It uses what Android reports for the pen — contact, pressure, hover and the side button — so there’s nothing to pair and no plug-in to install.
Another active pen on Android works the same way, and if it has a side button, Tomelet offers to make it erase. On an iPad, Apple Pencil writes in Tomelet too.
Free to read. Pay for sync.
The reader is free and needs no account. That’s the complete reader, not a trial: every format, highlights, notes, bookmarks and S Pen ink, and export as Markdown or JSON. It’s supported by one skippable ad before a book opens, never while you read.
Tomelet Sync (US$9.99 a month after a 14-day free trial) adds end-to-end encrypted sync of your books, places, highlights, notes and ink across your devices, and removes the ads.
FAQ
Questions & answers
Does Tomelet work with the S Pen?
Yes. On a Galaxy phone or tablet with an S Pen you can write, highlight and underline on EPUB and PDF pages. Pressure shapes the line, the side button erases, and your palm can rest on the screen.
Do I have to turn on a drawing mode first?
No. With Automatic pen input on, as it is unless you turn it off, the S Pen starts writing the moment it touches the page, and your fingers still turn pages.
Can the S Pen button erase?
Yes. Hold the side button while you write and the nib erases. To stop that, turn off S Pen button erases in Settings › Pen & ink.
Do my handwritten notes move if I change the font?
They stay with their words. On a PDF, ink stays exactly where you drew it. In a reflowable book, a new type size keeps each drawing on its word: as a note marker beside the line that opens the drawing as you made it, or drawn over the text if you prefer.
Is writing with the S Pen free?
Yes. S Pen ink is part of the free reader, with no account. Tomelet Sync, the paid subscription, adds private sync across your devices and removes the ads.
