@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?

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? 🤣

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.

#TAONAW - #Emacs and #OrgMode: Handling #project in Emacs - the 2025 version
https://taonaw.com/2025/11/14/handling-project-in-emacs-the.htmlI 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.

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.

Orgzly kind of has me wanting to move away from the OBTF thing I'm doing and split things a little more. Not a lot, but probably by Category rather than by Area, which does mean (up to) 10x as many files (100 max instead of 10), but it feels worth it? I'll report back if I decide to do it
#Orgzly #OrgzlyRevived #Emacs #OrgMode -
Update on #Orgzly revived, I'm liking it now that I have it set up! Still not super consistent about using it, but I'm hoping to get better with time. For now I'm just doing a simple emotion I'm feeling as the header, then why I'm feeling that emotion in the text. I have it set to make a created stamp, which means I can file them into a mood chart. I may eventually do something fun with the info, sort of like the old year in pixels app I had, but for now I'll leave that be
-
Since #Journelly still isn't an android thing I've been looking into alternatives, and I think #Orgzly revived comes kinda close? I've got a notebook that goes to my cloud server set up, and I can just type a thing and mark it as done with a timestamp. Even has a persistent notification for quickly doing it!
I'm doing this because I wanted a diary, but doing that on my PC just... Didn't work, for various (entirely my brain) reasons, but this seems like it could do well. Plus Orgzly let's me see all of my org files, which... Might be a curse, but we'll see :D
It's still not... Totally social-media like, which is what I actually want, because this format does work well, but it is only a few taps. I just wish they had auto timestamps built in. Closest they have is scheduling things for today, which doesn't have the time, just the date (I need time for reasons)

@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.. -
