@marlinz008 I thought about such an experiment as well with one very particular use-case: mobile capture.

I was using #Orgzly Revived which has its issues with larger Orgdown files and this overcomplicated sync cascade causing Syncthing conflicts all the time.

I was using it for read-only access to my Orgdown files + mobile capture in one inbox file.

Then I started with #Orgro in parallel just for the capture process so that I don't rely on Orgzly's ultra slow sync process to finish on each capture.

Since Orgro has very weird behavior with shared content (basically I wrote Elisp functions to fix the format for all different kinds of capture content types), I thought about vibe-coding my first Android app just for the capture process in a text file in the format I want.

Not high on my prio list. Let's see how that goes. #ClaudeCode is removing features or adding very annoying stuff so I might as well end up with no proper #AI to do this.

Turns out that the best de-Googled phone note-taking PKB solution *for me* isn't a pretty e2e encrypted app + desktop-client + web site with a proprietary free-for-now sync protocol, or even a local-only app with text backup (with weird JSON backup formats), it's #Orgzly Revived + #Syncthing + #Emacs + auto-revert-mode and some care to make the notebook simple: each note a top-level heading, smart tagging, no subheadings. Since I used Emacs and Syncthing already it wasn't much of a leap.

Anyone have a fave multi-device #bookmark-sharing workflow?

I like to keep 0 open tabs, and I use bookmarks extensively. For years, I've been using the #firefox sync service to keep my bookmarks synced between my phone, laptop, etc. I figure it might be a good idea to have an exit plan just in case.

Once upon a time, I used #orgzly on android and #org-mode on proper computers, synced with dropbox. Any better options out there than #orgzlyrevived and ssh-sync to my server?

@peaoPerdido

Yes, maybe. I have a system that works well for me, but with caveats. It's org-mode.

On mobile, I collect bibliography things, papers, quotes, data, not appointments or anything cumulative, just a gathering point.

On Emacs I use org-roam because I hypertext everything. That means unique identifiers doled out from a central store, ie it cannot decentralize.

On Android, #orgzly syncs via webDAV making basic orgMODE. I import orgmode into orgroam using tangle, so I can find & edit it, and it all syncs, or rather it does because…

I run #Nextcloud on an RPI5 with a public URL via apache2, my teledyn domain and LetsEncrypt, and NC offers WebDAV!

So… on Android I can ShareTo or take notes in Orgzly, which are bidirectionally synchronized with the version on the RPI5 NC, which is bidirectionally synchronized with the ~/Nextcloud where my Emacs pulls the orgMODE source to the tangled orgROAM page's block.

the only way to see org-roam itself would be to use VNC.

Clear as muddied water? 🤣

@e11bits

I use #orgzly on android and share with #orgmode via #Nextcloud WebDAV. I need NC for other tasks but I expect The simpler #owncloud would also work.

https://taonaw.com/2025/11/14/handling-project-in-emacs-the.html

I can relate to that.

I, too, am searching for an #Orgzly replacement for Android. I also have similar project management.

So far, I'm not using archive files in the same way because I like to find old stuff with the same method as current stuff.

My projects aren't scheduled, just the tasks beneath. Most of them are linked with org-edna.

Any recommendations for an Android app to read (only) and search through ten mid-size to large #orgdown files I currently sync via Syncthing?

#Orgzly revived does kill captured data (in my setup situation) and #Orgro can't even open my larger files.

Edit: logseq Android is not good with large files + search results. Unfortunately, this doesn't work either.

Edit: Emacs without physical keyboard and being on the go is not an option to me.

#Orgmode #PIM

@alerque @Torx

I've been meaning to properly set up #emacs' #orgmode for that but haven't had the capacity to do so and nc tasks worked well enough (until I actually started using it to a decent capacity).

This might be precisely what you are looking for though. And I might need to just do that ig.

There's an org-mode caldav adapter that, when I looked into it, gave me the impression of "very jank but might be workable".

Maybe I could even use #orgzly instead of #Tasksorg and nix #CalDAV.

@tiang I also use n
#orgzly (revived), I managed to make it work by syncronizing with syncthing, but as a receive only only mode, as I found that when editing calendar entries, Orgzly kinda messes then up 😅 What I miss is a calendar view, that would be most helpful.. at the moment I'm just using the 7days widget, which does not really give depth on what's combing..

@peaoPerdido

I use nextcloud davx as the transport, #orgzly has a URL to my #emacs #orgmode folder, and then, since I use #orgroam I have a node that syncs my 2-way edits via tangle.

Anotado menú de la semana que viene.

Ahora en #orgmode, con sincronización entre PC y móvil vía #nextcloud y edición en móvil mediante #orgzly

Nada vistoso, pero molando.

The downside is adding from my phone. I use #orgzly that I replicate with #nextcloud via #apache on an RPI5, #owncloud is also good. In #orgroam I have the orgzly mirror tumbled into a bookmarked page where I periodically relocate notes not needed on my phone.

I DREAM of the day all of my notes are on only MY server, and only MY phone could access them. This is my compromise.

@me Not want you want since it involves syncing to a remote Git repository but I discovered ZettelNotes recently which supports Org files, much more feature rich than Orgzly-revived or Orgro.

Once setup to sync with Git repo it does so in the background.

Not tried collaborating yet though as only I write my org/org-roam notes.

@publicvoit Do you have org files on your phone. I was thinking of sharing the agenda files and then having that on the phone. Do you have experience with #orgzly or similar apps? Do you have any other org things on your phone? I am very reluctant to put anything on my phone. Maybe if I could encrypt it.
