What is Reddit's opinion of
Orgzly?
From 3.5 billion Reddit comments
29 reviews of this app found across Reddit:
Orgzly (http://www.orgzly.com) is a new Android app that is syncing its notebooks in org file format.
Only Dropbox is supported at the moment, with calendar planned as an option too. Repeaters are supported already (+ .+ ++ shifting and keeping the state), but it also doesn't record change (yet).
So it's probably still not going to be useful to you, but it could become in not so distant future.

http://www.orgzly.com/ is showing some promise.
Org on the desktop, save to dropbox, read on mobiles in orgzly. You can also edit in dropbox with a dumb text editor.
I do wonder if syncing Org and Evernote is feasible. There is an Evernote HTTP API so maybe someone will write one, then we'll get all three!
May be you should pair up with the developer of http://www.orgzly.com/ so that we have an integrated solution that works on both, web and Android app. User can then update/review their notes/todo lists on web/phone or plain-text .org files synced to Dropbox or whatever new sync service that gets added to Orgzly.
You can read it using Orgzly or MobileOrg when on Android, beorg on iOs. Can't vouch for anything but Orgzly, which is pretty great. There is at least a JS implementation, and plugins for at least SublimeText and Atom, but if you are just reading it I'd export to HTML and be done with it.
I use a mix skewed towards Markdown, but mostly for ease of copy-pasting. I don't think Markdown is much more readable, except for reference links, but then I hardly ever read the raw plaintext outside a decent editor.
Mobileorg can be confusing. It doesn't work directly on the org files but it makes its own copy and you need to sync changes back to your org files. I've automated this sync with a cron job on a virtual private server.
There's also orgzly (http://www.orgzly.com) for Android which works directly on org files but not open source.
I'll see to update the FAQ entry (http://www.orgzly.com/help). It's an obvious question and is often asked.
In short -- I'm still thinking what to do with the app. It might be open sourced, made freemium at one point (with few non-essential features paid), or both.
I wrote it for myself -- it literally grew from Hello World while playing with Android and from my own need as someone who is using Org mode for (too) many things.
But I don't see Org mode users as the only ones using Orgzly. You don't have to know what Org mode is to use it. At least that's the goal, together with making it powerful enough for Org mode user to get some work done.
Anyway, I do work on cleaning up the code to get it to the point I'd be happy to release it, but this is not going to be any time soon and I don't want to make any promises there. I know this is an issue for some people unfortunately. I could list my reasons forever -- they are useless without the code released. :)
Are you aware of orgzly? I think it's Android only
Edit: never mind, I think you're in the Apple ecosystem. I'll leave this up just in case it helps someone else at some point in the future.
That's pretty much how TODOs work in org-mode. I use Orgzly on Android and sync the files to other devices with syncthing.
It's not the simplest setup, but it's all open source, doesn't require a server for syncing, and it's very flexible.
Orgzly is pretty good, if your on Android. It hooks up with emacs Org-mode, which is a todo list/organizer/appointments/notetaking and the kitchen sink. So you can jot down your idea, and then edit it into a website/pdf/word doc all from the same place, so it also works well to organize your notes, with such things as org-roam, which is designed to implement the german notebox that is somewhat in fad now, like roam research.
Since it is a org formatted text document, you can have tables you can turn into spreadsheets in emacs, code samples that run in place in emacs and many more features.
Org format is like a variant of Markdown, so is simple to use.
Orgzly http://www.orgzly.com/ is the best org mode app for Android right now. It's missing a few features but it's pretty slick. If your doing it for fun definitely make something. if you want to help people use org mode on thier phone contribute to orgzly
Org-mode is really great, it's all local but it's documents can be uploaded to any sync service or provider like Dropbox. I wouldn't recommend Dropbox but you can find a bunch of other options on the privacy-tools site. Syncthing is a solid choice and gives you more control and privacy than a cloud service as it simply sync files directly to and from your devices over WiFi.
Orgzly is a nice app for Org-mode access on Android and I was overjoyed when I heard it was open sourced and is now even available on F-Droid as of just this week. I've used Termux and it's great for things which you don't need a full blown app for like using ffmpeg for converting music for instance. But it's a pain to use on a touch screen for any extended period of time, but this might just be because I'm just so use to my typing speed and hotkeys on an actual keyboard.
For maximal laziness I use Nevernote sometimes. It will actually interoperate with Evernote while you want it to, or will just save to a local file or cloud drive if not.
You can also use Tomboy on Gnome boxes. Decently powerful despite having almost no UI.
Any Emacs user would send you to Org mode for maximal power. If you save to cloud drives, you can use Orgzly to edit on android.
Check out http://www.orgzly.com/help#Search
Make sure you don't have "b.filename" in the search query, which would limit the search only to that file.
Also, two searches in the drawer ("Scheduled" and "To Do") are predefined. "Scheduled" looks for notes which have SCHEDULED (http://orgmode.org/manual/Deadlines-and-scheduling.html) and "To Do" searches for notes with TODO keyword (http://orgmode.org/manual/TODO-Items.html).
For Android, there is a fairly new app called Orgzly that seems to work pretty well for basic outlining/todo/notes, and syncs directly to org files in Dropbox with no extra plumbing on the Emacs side of things.
Another thing I will point out is that in case you are using Markdown as input to other software and are worried about compatibility, it's easy to export from org to Markdown (and org's exporters are generally just as configurable as the rest of it, too).
At any rate, I would say that even with just the out of the box defaults, org-mode does more than Markdown and todo.txt... and that's before you start to take advantage of its customizability.
This just seems like what I've been wanting. From the screenshots I understand that it's like Markor but for org-mode. A full editor instead of an outlier with some editing capabilities (like Orgzly, which I have been using it with few other companions like Orgro for it's superior navigation and narrowing features).
Do you plan to release it as a free software? I think that would make the adoption of this app rise much faster. A lot of org-mode users are privacy-conscious free-software users. I wouldn't mind paying for the app (I actually would be happy to pay for it, through means of donation or buying a donation-version of the app from Play Store etc.) but I would really like if the app becomes a free/libre software.
Another thing that may help is that laying out the differences between this app and other mobile org-mode solutions so that people get a clear understanding of what this app is and what problems it's solving that others do not address.
Emacs with org-agenda for tracking appointments and deadlines, using Syncthing and Orgzly to sync with my Android is what I use for scheduling. For studying I don't really use any specific software, except sometimes Anki if there is specific information I have to memorize (rare, since most of my exams are open note or allow crib sheets).
It depends à bit what you want to do and what you mena by note. Orgzly treats a heading in an org file as a note and the org file as a notebook. For notes in this sense the help here describes it http://www.orgzly.com/help#33542dd
If you open a note you want to link to add a new property (the line with the I symbol) with the name CUSTOM_ID and whatever unique value you want. Then in any other note write [[#valueoflink]]
I've been using orgzly, mainly to add to-dos on the go and check notes (synced with a Dropbox folder) and that works well for me. There may be some kinks around deleted notes but gets the job done. http://www.orgzly.com/
I am currently using orgzly myself and syncing my files via Syncthing.
Markor is great too, but I didn't like the widget they use. I like the Orgzly widget, and you can create custom search queries, and have checkmarks in the widget to click on.
I heard Carnet is nice
I personally use Orgzly and sync my notebooks on Dropbox. Unfortunately to do this you have to get it from the Play Store.
I also share some notebooks with other people simply by sharing the Dropbox folders (one for every person). The only caveat is that it's impossible to collaboratively edit the notes since only one device can do edits otherwise you will have a conflict.
In case of conflict the app will refuse to sync. The solution is to pull or push instead of syncing. This will obviously discard some changes you (when pulling) or the other person (when pushing) previously made.
If don't want to use Dropbox (which will also allow you to download orgzly from fdroid) you can sync the notebooks with a local folder and sync the latter to your server with syncthing.
i.todo - Search for TODO notes
Sorting Using o.PROPERTY Following properties are supported: ... o.scheduled
s.ge.today - Search for notes scheduled for today or later
You can add ad.DAYS to any query to display search results grouped by day.
I have a VPS server which needs to be running anyways (website and such). I have a Raspberry PI 3 (which works entirely on SSD so I don't care about SD card wear) which connects to that VPS with a reverse SSH tunnel.
My org dir is tracked by http://fossil-scm.org/. I sync org on couple of computers and an Android phone. On Android I use <http://www.orgzly.com/>, I also have some bash aliases in Termux so I type 3-letter combos like fup for fossil update, cdorg to cd to my org dir, fcom to fossil commit -m \[Android\] so I can quickly sync my state with upstream.
Orgzly is super cool. Just write a TODO item with date/time and you'll get a popup on mobile reminding you to do something.
I don't use Dropbox/Github etc for privacy reasons.
I don't use Syncthing because I got conflicts when editing same files on mobile and laptop.
Fossil has autosync which is super-useful. It needs bit of getting used to if you've been using git though. Occasionally I still get conflicts but it's way easier to manage them with a VCS.
There's MobileOrg for iPhone and Android, but to be honest I always found it too bloated and tricky to setup. The first time I tried org-mode, the idea of having to use the MobileOrg app put me off the idea entirely. You need a way to see what you have to do when you're where you have to do it.
Luckily, android now has Orgzly which is a massive improvement in my opinion, and is getting updated frequently enough. It syncs to a Dropbox folder of your org files, and has good search functionality, so it's more than enough for me when I'm out and need to check certain contexts or due dates.
It also lacks repetition from last completion. Thankfully someone finally made an orgmode adaptation that can do it. I can finally (try to) get organized again.
I can't believe this feature is basically non-existant. I guess most people approach the problem differently from me.
Edit: of course orgzly doesn't directly support your use case either...
Both payment and the link to github (which is currently useless as you point out) are on http://www.orgzly.com/help which is linked from homepage. Although I agree it's kinda hidden and should be more obvious.
I've just put a current release to http://www.orgzly.com/android/apks/orgzly-1.0.0.apk
Thanks for this list - it helps a lot prioritizing things.
They are all planned - SSH sync and in-buffer TODO/DONE keywords settings will be done first and available soon after the first production release.
Searching will be improved a lot too (used for agenda). See http://www.orgzly.com/help#sec-2 for what is currently available. Not that much right now, I agree. Sorting will be added too and grouping by day etc. The idea is that searching, sorting and grouping is done using the operators. Custom saved searches will be implemented in the future, so you could have a fairly complicated expression, saved for a quick access. "Scheduled" and "To Do" (available in navigation drawer) are one of those for example.
And calendar sync is being requested more often - I'll be bumping its the priority.
