You can try https://github.com/bcpierce00/unison
Also, there is https://github.com/Artawower/orgnote.el (still in early development).

Single threading is not an issue. In fact, Emacs already has
https://code.librehq.com/qhong/crdt.el that provides live collaborative
editing. In theory, you might even make crdt.el work on your phone with
the new official Emacs Android port. Might be tricky though.
