Everything without a marker is kept exactly as you wrote it, searchable and linked to its page.
the pricing page feels too loud
Inside a line,details count too.
Signs anywhere in a line add details. They work with every marker.

Write it so Axsuroreads it well.
- The marker comes first.At the very start of the line, followed by a colon.
- One thing per line.A new task, event or idea starts a new line with its own marker.
- Everything else is a thought.Lines without a marker are kept as they are. Lines right below each other form one thought.
- Fix what was read wrong.On the page, “Fix” corrects a line. Axsuro remembers how you write for the next pages.
Your own markers
Your words,your rules.
You write errand: instead of todo:? You circle your appointments? Teach Axsuro how you write: in the app under Settings → Markers → Your own markers. They work from the next page you scan.
- errand:a task
- shopping:a task in your list “Shopping”
- Everything on a sticky notea task
- Everything you circlea calendar event
