# A shopping list from handwritten notes

> Write buy: milk, eggs, bread on a page and each item lands on your shopping list. Share it and sync it with Apple Reminders, Google Tasks, Microsoft To Do or Todoist.

Keep writing your shopping list on paper. Axsuro turns it into a list you tick off on your phone in the shop.

## How to write it

Write `buy:` or `shop:`, then the items, separated by commas or one per line:

```
buy: milk, eggs, bread
shop: detergent
  coffee
  batteries
```

Each item becomes its own entry on your **Shopping list** under **Tasks**. Lines right below still belong to the list.

The first `buy:` line creates the list. You can also create it yourself: **New list → Shopping list**.

## Without a marker too

Axsuro also recognises plain lines such as "need to buy batteries" or "milk and eggs to buy", and the lines under a heading "Grocery list". This only applies to everyday things: groceries, household and drugstore items. "Buy a ticket for the conference" stays a task. When Axsuro is not sure, the entry waits for your yes.

## Shopping together

Share the list with someone at home. You both see the same list and both tick things off.

## In other apps

To have the list in **Apple Reminders**, **Google Tasks**, **Microsoft To Do** or **Todoist** too, open it and choose **Edit → Sync with**.
