I think people use dropbox or some git based setting to locally modify
agenda entries while being offline and synchronize later on. But they
use Org-mode to make the local changes, they don't do them outside of
Org-mode (except where exporters/conversion-tools between Org and other
calendar/planning apps exist).
To achieve what you want you should probably use Org-mobile or install
Emacs/Org-mode on all your devices and then sync via dropbox or git or
so.
