Open Axsuro

Tasks and events from handwritten notes

Write todo: or cal: on paper and Axsuro creates tasks and calendar events, also in Google, Microsoft or Todoist if you like.

Updated 2 November 2026 · Deutsch

What you plan on paper should not stay on paper. Two markers turn lines into real tasks and events.

Writing tasks

Write todo: at the start of the line:

todo: file tax return by 31.7. !
todo: send offer to Lena @Lena #Website
  • A date in the line becomes the due date.
  • ! makes the task important, !! very important.
  • @Name links the task to a person, #Name to a project.
  • wait: instead of todo: means you are waiting for someone else.

You find your tasks under Tasks, sorted into Today, Upcoming and Someday.

Writing events

Write cal: with a date and time, in any order:

cal: Thu 14.10. 10:00 coffee with Lena
cal: 10.–12.10. trade fair in Vienna

Events over several days work too. @Name and email addresses in the line become attendees. Once you confirm the event, they get an invitation.

Confirm or take over directly

So nothing wrong lands in your calendar:

  • What Axsuro reads with certainty goes straight in and is marked "Taken over". Check it sends it back to be confirmed.
  • What is uncertain or involves other people waits for your yes. With Go through them you go through everything at once, each next to its line from your photo.

You set this in Settings → Markers: switch "Take clear entries over" on or off, and with "Always take over" tasks or events go straight in even when Axsuro is not quite sure.

Connect Google, Microsoft or Todoist

Under Settings → Connections you connect Google, Microsoft or Todoist. Tasks and events then go both ways: what you write on paper is in your calendar, and what you change there, Axsuro sees too.

Tip: Your week shows each week what you wrote, what you did and what is still open.
