Markers: what to write at the start of a line

A marker is a short word with a colon at the start of a line. It tells Axsuro what the line is: a task, an event, an idea. Upper or lower case does not matter, and the German words work just the same, also mixed on one page.

todo: send offer to Lena @Lena #Website ! Fri

Lines right below a marker that have no marker of their own belong to it. That is how a meeting gets its notes and a task its note.

#Private lines

private: at the start of a line keeps it for you alone, together with the lines right below it that have no marker of their own. Only you see these lines, on the page and on the photo; people you share a notebook with and your teammates do not. Axsuro makes nothing from them and never reads them into Ask, summaries, assistants, exports, Send to or shared links. Privacy mode blurs them, for example while you share your screen. In every plan.

#Signs inside a line

These signs add details to a line and work with every marker:

• @Name is a person: for whom or with whom.
• #Name is a project. The first #Name on a page creates the project; everything with the same #Name lands on the project page.
• ! makes a task important, !! very important. The sign stands as a word of its own, before or after the text.
• A date in a task becomes its due date (by Fri, by 14.10.), in an event its day.

#Repeating tasks

On the Plus plan and up: write, for example, "every 1st", "every 2 weeks" or "every Friday" in the task. When you tick it off, the next one comes.

#Your own markers

In Settings → Markers you can add up to 30 markers of your own. That can be your own word (errand:) or a look: circled, on a sticky note, in a box, in BLOCK LETTERS. You choose what it becomes. Your own markers count for every page read from then on.

#Marker stickers

Instead of writing the marker, you can put a marker sticker next to the line. It counts exactly like the written marker.

Tip: The overview with an example page is also in the app under Settings → Markers.
