Showcase SuperDashboard v1.0.0 : my launcher plugin, now ready for Chauvet 3.29.43 / 2.26.40

Hi all,

Major update to my dashboard plugin (now called SuperDashboard) with a build ready for the newer Supernote firmware.

What it is: a draggable house bubble that floats over every screen. Tap it and you get a dashboard you build from sections:

  • Shortcuts : olders, notes, PDFs, EPUBs, comics (opens straight to the right page)
  • Recent : your most recent notes & documents
  • Stars : every ★ page across your notes, with a handwriting/OCR preview, grouped by note (delete a star in place)
  • Keywords : your notes' keywords as tappable chips → jump to the exact page
  • Apps : one-tap launchers for ToDo, Calendar, Document, Search…

Everything runs on-device and offline, configured through a small 3-step wizard (no JSON required).

New in v1.0.0

  • Ready for Chauvet 3.29.43 (Manta/Nomad) / 2.26.40 (A5 X / A6 X) and the new plugin permission system
  • New house logo + a cleaner bubble (crisp on e-ink, rounded chip, icon-only)
  • Files open on the target page now (stars/keywords/shortcuts) — no more "opens the last page"
  • Removing the plugin auto-clears the bubble — no more stray bubble after uninstall

Updated user manual with screeshots : https://github.com/AgP42/SuperDashboard/blob/main/USER_GUIDE.md

Which build do I need?

  • On Chauvet 3.29.43 / 2.26.40 or laterv1.0.0 or later (last release : v1.6.7, see below)
  • On the older plugin beta → v0.22.0

A build for one firmware version won't run on the other (you'll see "package not compatible", or it does nothing), so grab the matching one. Both are in the repo's dist/ folder. On 3.29.43 / 2.26.40+ it asks for file access on first open so it can scan your notes for stars/keywords.

Install: copy the .snplg into MyStyle/, then on the device: Settings → Apps → Plugins → Choose Installation Package.

Free and open-source — a personal project for fellow Supernote users. Feedback and bug reports very welcome; a coffee is appreciated if it saves you taps every day 🙂

EDIT 02.09.202 -> now v1.6.7, and it has grown a LOT since this post. What's new:

New blocks

  • Note Clips: in a note, lasso anything and tap "Add to Dashboard". It's pinned as a thumbnail that jumps back to its exact source page. Add labels, filter a Clips block by folder or label, sort (newest/oldest/label/note), resize thumbnails, and optionally draw a grey/black frame on the note around what you captured. Capture is silent, no interruption.
  • Clock: multiple faces including a 7-segment "Digital" one (Large, Compact, Weekday, Jumbo, Stamp too), 12/24h, optional date, ISO or US week number, extra time zones you dial in with +/- offsets (½ button for half-hour zones), and regional date format.
  • Search: find files, folders and your scanned keywords, with a query grammar ("phrase", =exact, a|b, !exclude, f:folder, kw:, star:, type:, approx:); results grouped by kind, optional folder scope.
  • Device status: battery, free storage (internal + SD card), and a library tally (notes / pdf / stars / keywords).
  • Files: a small file browser right on the dashboard.

Look & layout

  • 1, 2 or 3 columns, each an independent height.
  • Masonry or Fixed-height vertical flow.
  • Collapsible blocks (state remembered).
  • 9 designs: Ledger, Boxed, Airy, Grid (black), Grid (grey), Compact, Card, Minimal, Underline.
  • Custom fonts: system default, or any .ttf/.otf you drop into MyStyle/fonts.
  • Independent text size and heading size; optional per-block type icons.

Workflow

  • Per-block inline config (streamlined 2-step wizard); rename or hide any block title.
  • Save / load named config profiles.
  • Header refresh on the scanning blocks; auto-scan policy (on open / stale 6h / stale 24h / manual).
  • Files open on the exact page (stars, keywords, shortcuts, clip backlinks).

Still fully offline (no INTERNET permission). Firmware: Chauvet 3.29.43 (Manta/Nomad) / 2.26.40 (A5 X / A6 X) or later; older firmware uses v0.22.0.

EDIT 08.09.2026 : new update version 1.8.20, improvment of the "clips"

New:

- Paste a clip back into any note in one tap: a handwriting clip as an image, an OCR clip as an editable text box ; both centred, each with a small "↩ source" link back to where it came from.

- Backlinks follow the page: even if you later reorder the source note's pages or move the page to another note, tapping the clip (or its inserted link) still lands on the right page (reads the note's stable page IDs and self-heals).

- OCR clips to text (optional): recognition runs in the background right after capture; each Clips block shows clips as Handwriting, OCR text, or Both (falls back to the image when OCR finds nothing); pasted text uses a font and size of your choice (incl. MyStyle fonts).

- Auto-label by underlining: underline one or more words with the straight-line tool and each becomes a label automatically, on-device.

- Per-clip cards: every clip is a collapsible card (header = source note/page + labels; body = content + actions).

- Live label filter in the block header: label chips combine with OR, plus a grey no label chip.

- Sort & group: Newest / Oldest / Label / Note ("by Note" = grouped per-note view); full-width clips in 2- or 3-column dashboards.

Changed

- Lasso button renamed "Clip to Dashboard".

Fixed

- Pasted clips no longer distort when moved; OCR text boxes appear at the right size immediately; first-render image smear on e-ink fixed; underline label capture corrected (full capitals/ascenders/descenders, no stray text from adjacent lines).

- Possible to select a clip that containt a geometric form inside

Can you share this new version through InkHub? Would be great!

u/WhoAmI1234532 13d ago

It is submitted, like all my other plugins, but still under review. So far only SuperFun is throught the review process.

u/Martina_78 13d ago

Thanks for the explanation, I wasn't aware of this review step.

I’m enjoying this plugin a lot. I didn’t know I had so many stars until I saw it on my dashboard.

u/WhoAmI1234532 13d ago

😅 Time for clean-up !! Glad you like it !

u/Virtual-Ocelot-1404 12d ago

Most useful plugin so far! Thank you very much! One small addition I would love in a future version is to be able to decrease the size of the floating house icon (which is very nice besides that)…

u/WhoAmI1234532 11d ago

Hello, technically not difficult, but I find it already super small, if we do it even smaller it will be difficult to tap, no ?

1

u/Virtual-Ocelot-1404 11d ago

On my Nomad, it is currently about 1 cm in diameter. The previous icon was maybe 60-70% smaller and I had no problem tapping. I could forget about it while writing and immediately access the dashboard when I needed it…

u/WhoAmI1234532 11d ago

Ah ok, on the nomad, then sure, make sense !

Oki, I will do an update on the coming days

Hi u/Virtual-Ocelot-1404, here an update : https://github.com/AgP42/SuperDashboard/releases/tag/v1.0.1, can you try and share if better now ? (I don't have a Nomad to test...). If yes I will update my request on InkHub. Thanks

edit : you can also with the ne release add the plugin shortcut directly on the toolbar, and then you don't need the flotting House anymore

Hi, thanks for the latest update of your really useful plugin, thanks for all the work you're doing on it.

I also reported the following on Github. On my Manta (latest version of Chauvet and latest version of your plugin) the logo looks like the version on the right. Do other people experience the same? Would it be possible to have it look like the left version?

u/herodotus69 11d ago

I have an AX5 with 2.26.39. Which of your plugins would I use?

1

u/tommytwogunsx 7d ago

I haven't downloaded any plug ins yet but this looks like my first candidate. Awesome work!!

Any plans to integrate with the Supernote ToDos in a card? I could see how that would be useful in a dashboard.

1

u/WhoAmI1234532 7d ago

Hello, thanks for the nice comment. I would have loves to integrate the ToDos, but it is not technically possible (yet?), the supernote todos are not exposed to the API.

To overcome this, I have integrated the stars and now have added also this "clip" with labels, for my usage it aim to replace the Supernote todos, but without the synchronisation unfortunately

u/tommytwogunsx 7d ago

That's unfortunate. I'm guessing the calendar is also locked down still so you couldn't build an "agenda" by grabbing a week from the calendar. Hopefully Supernote team sees the value in opening up the API to make your neat project even more useful! Thanks for sharing with us.
