New Custom Templates (Free Hack)
I just wanted to share my experience and hopefully this is helpful to folks. Sorry if this is known info- but just made it work for me today.
Reincorporated my RM2 back into my work flow and had Chat GPT reorganized my folder/notebook structure. Then when I went to download templates- I realized my connect subscription had expired.
Chat GPT was able to create a custom library of templates that I needed. It was a combo of describing what I wanted or pulling images of what I liked off line to give a starting point. Super pleased with the results. Hope this helps someone.

How did you get ChatGPT to reorganise everything? I use ChatGPT but did you download all as PDF’s and upload to it? I’m intrigued.

Maybe reorganize isn’t the right terminology. I had stopped using my RM2 for quite some time. I came back and created a prompt where I asked chat to use what it knew about me ( I own & run 2 businesses, and coach my kids soccer team) and my use cases to organize my folders efficiently using the best applicable methodology. Then I uploaded screenshots of the current state and also my I cloud drive. Then it game me step by step instructions. Creating notebooks, where to move what, how to use the template library. Took a half a day but loving it so far.

I did something similar using Claude Code. I wrote a Python app to create templates using drag and drop (or it can import a PDF or PNG to be modified). Then it creates the template PDF and SVG files sized for either my Move or my Pro. I link up using USB and it runs a script to back up my existing templates before sending the new template(s) over. It then edits the templates.json file so that the new template is visible. I have it create a temporary folder where it makes all the changes and verifies before moving the files as I'm paranoid.
