Maybe I missed it but how/where can you sync all that with your phone then? At least in the past, this is where the whole Apple "PIM" suite was really shining for me: effortless syncing with mobile and smart phones without installing additional tools. And I agree, an easy, built-in option to sync several Macs would be great.

Oh and complaining about iCal's interface is really moaning at a rather high level.

At work I have to use Outlook for email, contacts, team calendar and our team todos and I cannot stop wondering how this thing is used by anyone let alone tech un-savvy people.. so I thank the FSM for the noodley goodness and simplicity that iCal is for me.

And I wish Google Mail would finally allow me to update entries from iCal and offer syncing the todo list. Then I would be completely happy.




For iPhone, there's MobileOrg: http://mobileorg.ncogni.to/

For Android, there's MobileOrg Android: https://github.com/matburt/mobileorg-android/wiki/

Both can be set up to sync Org files via DropBox.


I find MobileOrg's workflow clumsy to work with. I wish it would just allow me to browse a directory in my Dropbox and leave the syncing to Dropbox itself.


I'm a MobileOrg user, and I completely agree. I would pay good money for an app that presents an iOS user interface for editing files with org-mode markup, including creating org-mode files on the fly. Unfortunately, MobileOrg offers neither of those features.

MobileOrg is free software (https://github.com/richard/mobileorg), but it's so far from what I'm looking for that it might just be easier to start from scratch.


I just have a save hook to do all the work. I'm not even sure what all the work is, but emacs does it for me.


Is there a tutorial or something for MobileOrg? I just installed it, but I feel like I must be missing some functionality (e.g., how to get my agenda).
