The notebook for founders, managing directors and executives

1. One notebook for the whole day. Write meetings, calls and thoughts into the same notebook, the way you always have. Any paper works.
2. Mark the lines that matter. meeting: at the start of a meeting, dec: before decisions, todo: before actions, wait: before anything you need from someone else. @Name records who it is about.
3. Mark confidential lines as private. A line that starts with private: is only visible to you. Nothing is made from it, and it never goes into shares, summaries or to an assistant.
4. Photograph the pages in the evening. Take photos of the day's pages with the iPhone and Android app or upload them in the browser. Several pages work in one go.
5. Check and confirm. Meetings and decisions appear straight away. Tasks and events wait for Confirm, so you can fix a word first.

Running a company means moving from one conversation to the next: investors, the team, clients, candidates. By the evening the notebook holds everything that matters. But it holds it in the notebook, between arrows and half sentences, and the question "What did we decide on that?" usually comes up when the book is back at the office.

There are good reasons to write by hand in these conversations. You look at the person, not at a screen, and you only write down what counts. Axsuro doesn't change that. It reads the pages you already write, line by line, and a short word at the start of a line, a marker, tells it what the line should become.

• meeting: Leadership weekly @Lena @Tom
• hiring Q1: two roles in sales
• dec: raise prices from February
• todo: prepare board update by Thu !
• wait: Q4 numbers from @Tom
• cal: Mon 9:00 call with the bank
• private: renegotiate Lena's salary

Axsuro turns that into a meeting with Lena and Tom, a decision in the decision log, an important task due Thursday, a task "Waiting for someone" with Tom, and an event on Monday. The last line stays on the page with the label "Private", visible only to you.

Every marker is explained on How markers work.

Every line with dec: or decision: is listed with its meeting under "Decided" and kept in the decision log. When someone asks in three months when the price rise was decided, you find the line with its date and page, or you simply ask Axsuro with Ask: the answer comes only from your notes, with links to the pages.

wait: makes a task "Waiting for someone". If it is still open after five days, your phone gets one notification with a short reminder to that person, ready to send. You check it, change what you like, and send it with one tap or from your own mail app. The reply comes straight to you.

With Axsuro Business, ok: or approved: with your signature next to it also becomes a sign-off: Business center → Sign-offs keeps it with the crop of the photo as proof, also as a CSV.

Everyone you write as @Name gets a page in Axsuro: tasks, what you are waiting for, open questions, events and meetings with that person.

• "Before you meet" (Plus and up): when an event with the person is coming up within two weeks, their page starts with what you promised them, what you are waiting for and how the last meeting went.
• "What is open with Anna?" (Pro and up): a short AI summary of where things stand, with up to five points to raise.
• Meeting series: write meeting: Leadership weekly again next week and Axsuro shows "Open from last time": everything from the previous round that is not done yet.

A leader's notebook holds things that are not for everyone. A line starting with private: (and the lines right below it without a marker of their own) is only ever visible to the person who wrote it. It never goes to team members, into shares, into Ask or other AI features, to connected assistants or into an export. That holds on every plan, Free included.

When you share your screen in a meeting, privacy mode (the eye at the top of the web app) blurs everything private. To be clear: the photo of the page is still read, otherwise Axsuro could not find the line. It is stored in Frankfurt, read in the EU, and your notes are never used to train AI models.

New under Page templates: "Your week, to tick off". Axsuro prints your open tasks, what you are waiting for and the week's events on one sheet, every task with a box. Tick it on paper, photograph the sheet, and the tasks are done in Axsuro, and with a connected Google, Microsoft or Todoist account there too. This works on every plan.

If you work with Claude or ChatGPT, you can connect your assistant to Axsuro on Pro and up. It searches your pages, tasks, events and meetings and can at most propose tasks and events, which wait for your Confirm. It never sees private lines.

The plans are compared on the pricing page. Every new account starts with 14 days of Pro, no card needed.
