Line syntax

Jot, the ⌘J bar and Today's line all read a typed line the same way. Before you press ↵, each says what the line will do.

Line	Means	Example
stop, done or idle	End what's running	stop
now + text	Switch to an activity	now reading
note + text	A moment	note bought tickets
time range + text	An activity that already happened	2-3pm design review
name + number	A measurement	mood 4
anything else	A moment, or a switch on Today's timeline	lunch with Ana

Jot also reads two more:

Line	Means
>Type name	Makes an object of that type. See Jot
several lines	A page, with ⌘↵

Time ranges

The two ends can be split by -, –, — or to:

• 2-3pm, 2pm to 3pm, 9:30-10:15, 14:00-15:30
• With am or pm on one end, the other takes it too.
• With neither, Sorus picks the reading that ended most recently: at 4pm, 2-3 means 2 to 3pm.

A range is placed on the day you're looking at.
