Short guides to how Ruxpin works: capturing, filing, Rux, and what happens to your words.
Getting started
Getting started: your first captureRuxpin is for the thought you have while reading. Speak it before it slips.3 min readSigning inRuxpin signs you in with your email and a password, or with your Apple ID. You set a password once when you create your record; after that, signing in doesn't need your inbox.3 min readGetting the appRuxpin is on the App Store, free to download, with your first 30 days open. If you're reading about a build you don't have yet, that's explained here too.2 min read
Capturing & filing
Filing thoughts and managing sourcesEvery entry files to a source: the book, essay, or whatever you're reading. You can file before you speak, while you speak, or later.3 min readReading offlineBooks don't need Wi-Fi, and neither does capturing.2 min readUploading a voice memoSome thoughts get recorded before Ruxpin is open: a voice memo in the car, a note dictated on a walk. You can bring those in.1 min readStarring what mattersA star is the one mark you make yourself. Everything else in Ruxpin is written by you speaking or by the analysis. Sources and thoughts can both be starred.1 min readInside a sourceTapping a source in your Library opens its own page: a map of where your thoughts landed in it, anything you've starred there, and every entry filed to it.3 min read
Rux & your record
Rux: what it sees and what it can'tRux is the reflective companion in Ruxpin. It reads your record, and only your record.3 min readYour reading vitalsThe Reader tab draws you as a reader, a small set of vitals you can watch over time. This guide explains what they mean and how each is worked out, so nothing on the tab is a black box.4 min readYour epigraph and vital notesThe epigraph and each vital's short note are set rather than computed live, written from your actual thoughts and dated at the foot, like a printed impression.2 min readThe dog in the cornerThe small amber dog around Ruxpin is Rux, a real dog, Ted's. The folded page corner in the Ruxpin mark is his ear.2 min readYour themes<!-- summary: Ruxpin notices what you keep coming back to and gathers those thoughts into themes you can browse and search. -->2 min readSharing your recordYou can turn your record into a card to post or send. It is made from your own numbers, and the card you get by default carries none of your writing.2 min read
Account & data
Your trial and subscriptionEvery new record starts with a 30-day full-access trial, with no card and nothing to cancel. The countdown starts the day you sign up, and Home shows a quiet line as the end approaches.1 min readYour data & deletingShort version: your words are yours, audio is never kept, and deleting means deleting.4 min readAI processing and your OKRuxpin uses one AI provider to turn your thoughts into text and reflect them back. Nothing is sent until you have said yes in the app, and this page says exactly what is sent and to whom.2 min read
