What is missing in MobileOrg? You say it is suffering from bitrot but it works just fine for me on a daily basis, with no issues having multiple Android devices using the same location. Okay, it no longer works with Dropbox but it does work with a number of other media. Maybe I missed it but what is not clear is what features you actually require that you don't have other than the encryption aspect mentioned above. For instance, I have recently started playing with org-dropbox [1] for capturing notes from an Android device. But I will keep using MobileOrg as I need Google calendar synchronisation. The only way to truly work with org on your phone would be to have Emacs on your phone. That *is* possible but the currently available solutions are less than useful (IMO). The second best is to ssh to a system running Emacs (as has already been suggested). My own full solution is to have a palm sized computer running Emacs: the Pandora [2] which is (hopefully) soon to be replaced by the Pyra [3]. eric Footnotes:=20 [1] https://github.com/heikkil/org-dropbox [2] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pandora_(console) [3] https://pyra-handheld.com/boards/pages/pyra/ =2D-=20 : Eric S Fraga via Emacs 27.0.50, Org release_9.1.2-98-g0b8316 --=-=-= Content-Type: application/pgp-signature; name="signature.asc" -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- iF0EARECAB0WIQSPXCedOQfhSlwpVw3IkZPY//z2fQUCWeBc+gAKCRDIkZPY//z2 fYf8AJ42I2767pnN0KC9maDTTRNrRvh3cQCaAvGIJfhDLN/XjqHnq5J8YIDyb0Q= =Y20M -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --=-=-=--
