It wasn't my intention, as the app if free (although only as a beer currently). I use org-mode for everything and this app was created from my need to do some work on the phone. Setting up MobileOrg and apps at the time didn't work for me. Maybe I should have gone the route of contributing to the existing implementation, but the second reason for this app was learning Android -- it literally grew from my first Hello World app. > I must admit that I feel uncomfortable because you use the name org-mode > to promote a product that does not respect the "4 freedoms" as put forth > by the FSF.

OK, that makes sense. I was planning to add support for multiple file formats in the future -- maybe todo.txt, taskwarrior's JSON etc. But for start, I will remove any references to org-mode as such. (it's gone from the website now). I'll refer only to .org files where needed. That is -- org as a file format, not emacs's mode. I hope that would be an improvement, if someone doesn't think so, please let me know. The parser will be open sourced which I hope will help too. Anyway, I'm still deciding what to do with the app. I might just go ahead and open source it in the end. I'd much rather see people finding it useful, then trying to make money from it. Neven
