Starring what matters

A 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.

Starring a source

In your Library, each row leads with a star. Tap it and that source pins to the top of the catalog, above a heavier rule that separates the pinned ones from the rest; tap it again to unpin. There's no heading over them. The filled star on each row is what says why they're up there. The All sources control also offers Starred, so you can narrow the whole shelf to them.

Starring a thought

Any single thought can be marked too. Open an entry and the star sits at the top, beside Edit. Every entry in a source's list leads with one as well, the same way a source row does, so you can star as you read back through a reading without opening each one.

Starred thoughts rise to the top of that reading, above the same heavier rule. It's the identical pattern as the Library, and the same again inside Unfiled. Nothing is labelled anywhere: the filled star says why a row is up there, and the rule disappears when nothing is starred.

What a star isn't

Nothing is shared, nothing is published, and starring changes nothing about the thought itself: not its text, not where it's filed, not what Rux draws on. It's a private shortcut back to the things you'd want to find again.

To organize by what a thought is about rather than how much it mattered, use its themes and tags instead. See Filing thoughts and managing sources.
