What it is
The Minesweeper you already know, native on the reMarkable Paper Pro. Tap a cell to reveal it, long-press to plant a flag, and clear the board without detonating a mine — with a live timer running in the footer. Drawn for the Gallery 3 e-ink display and launched as a standalone app.
Features
- Classic rules — reveal, flood-fill, flag, and a running timer.
- Touch-native — tap to reveal, long-press to flag, tuned for e-ink.
- Standalone app — opens from the AppLoad menu, nothing else required.
Licence & provenance
Minesweeper is a generic game; this is the author's own original code — custom display and touch handling written directly against the rMPP's QTFB shared-memory protocol, not a wrapper around any third-party build. It ships as a proprietary app (personal-use licence in the zip). The only bundled third-party asset is the Noto font under the SIL Open Font Licence.
You're paying for the port, not the idea
Minesweeper the game is nobody's to sell — what you're buying is this native rMPP implementation: the display/input adaptation, the packaging, and the on-device testing.
Runs as a standalone app (this is the safe kind)
An AppLoad app: a separate program launched from the AppLoad menu. It does not inject into xochitl, patches no system QML, and carries no crash-loop or boot-bank risk. Uninstalling is deleting one folder.
Install
Requires xovi + rm-appload on-device (free; links in the README). Copy the
minesweeper/ folder into /home/root/xovi/exthome/appload/, open AppLoad, tap
to play. No xochitl restart, no system files touched. Uninstall = delete the
folder. Full steps in the README.
Caveats
- Tested on firmware 3.26.0.68; e-ink/QTFB behaviour can shift across firmware, so updates are best-effort after reMarkable releases.
- Independent product — not affiliated with or endorsed by reMarkable AS.
