Notes, markers and trails
Hikers stack a cairn of stones to mark the way for whoever comes next. Trailmark is the same idea for your own life: you leave markers now, and they're there when you need them. Three things to learn.
Trails
A trail is a collection, like a notebook. Most people end up with a few: House, Family, Vehicles, Taxes, the LLC. Starter trails fill one in for you. Pick "Vehicle" and you get the oil change, tires, inspection, plates and insurance, ready to date.
Notes
Markdown pages. Search covers everything, pinned notes stay on top, and a note can stand alone or ride along on a marker. Bring your notes in from Evernote or Obsidian.
Markers
A marker is a date that comes back: every year, quarter, month or season, or just once. Some come back by use as well as time, like an oil change every 6 months or 5,000 miles. Planting one takes a name, a date, how often and a trail. Type it as a sentence, or say it.
- Coming up: a heads-up a month out and a week out. Monthly ones only get the week.
- Started: you're working on it, so reminders go quiet.
- Done: closed for this time around. The next one opens fresh, and the history stays.
Behind you
Every marker keeps what happened each time: the date, who did it, and a line about how. Next year you open the marker and it tells you how you did it last year.
Sharing a trail
Share a trail like House or the LLC with one other person for free. You both see it, either of you can start or finish a marker, and the other gets a heads-up when you close one out.
Reminders that sound like you
The apps tell you how long ago you left the marker and what you did last time. Reminders are scheduled on your device, so they work with no signal. The web app is for reading and writing; the alarms come from the apps.
No account needed
Open the web app or install an app and start writing; there's no account to make. You'll sign in only for sync: your email and a password, plus a code we email the first time you use a new device.
