What are Org users doing for mobile access? Using the phone to ssh to an emacs? Using mobile org? I also saw an Org plugin for an iOS editor. How do you keep it synched?

I need tasklists to be accessible on the phone.




I'm running emacs on android using termux, and using dropbox for syncronization.

It works great, emacs run better in android than in my desktop.


I was never happy with the workflow of automatically syncing mobile org, so I gave up. A scheduled task on the desktop exports org to HTML in a Dropbox folder. Read-only HTML on mobile is good enough for my use in most cases. I capture with Google Keep if needed.


How do you schedule that task?


Windows Task Scheduler and a script wrapping an emacs batch command. https://bitbucket.org/snippets/shoover/ggM5z

Alternately, you can invoke the org project/publish system.:https://bitbucket.org/shoover/emacs.d/src/4f5461d826c92c749b...

MobileOrg does that, and it can sync up with your phone's calendar. I use it exclusively for capture and sync to PC when home thru ssh. I don't use the calendar sync as I use a physical agenda, but works nicely except time ranges don't get synced to phone's calendar.


Git sync. I don't use mobileorg but pretty sure it supports git syncing too so that's one way.



sshing into my PC with emacs. With Evil mode (vim modes and keybindings for emacs, without loosing emacs' ones) it's perfectly usable. Don't need an extra app for that IMO.


Mobile Org actually works pretty decent at least for my purposes.


Orgzly on Android
