My primary Org files are all exclusively appended to by org-capture, and the agenda is my primary method of accessing their contents. Obviously these are separate from my per-project Org files, but they allow me to capture the dynamic events thrown at me each day. I've been looking for a method to allow me to quickly capture items while away from my computer. I'm not keen on any of the mobile Org-mode solutions I've reviewed for one reason or another (offtopic). I just found a solution that I'm impressed with and so I wanted to share. On my Android phone I found an app called AudioReminder which allows you to make short ad-hoc audio recordings, and then gives you basic task management (ie: alerts, pending / complete) for each one. No audio file management required. By default a recording will remind you hourly until you mark it completed. I'm still testing, but this can be customized and it can use your location to determine when to remind you that you have items pending (ie: only alert me when I'm at home). This allows me to quickly dictate a short item to my phone while I am away from my computer, and it will remind me later so the recording isn't forgotten which was a common problem with any other audio solution I've used. Once home I can transcribe items into my Org file at my laptop. The author has been very responsive, and is already adding a one touch record widget at my request. I thought it only fair to share with the list. Perhaps others will find it useful. Thanks. ------------------------------------------------------------------ Russell Adams RLAdams@AdamsInfoServ.com PGP Key ID: 0x1160DCB3 http://www.adamsinfoserv.com/ Fingerprint: 1723 D8CA 4280 1EC9 557F 66E8 1154 E018 1160 DCB3
