If you have a problem with that, you can stop reading right about now... Anyway -- it is an outliner, todo-managing, notes-taking, agenda-showing, org-mode-wannabe app, which uses .org files for encoding the notebooks in when syncing. Currently, only syncing to Dropbox is supported, but more methods will follow after the first production release (starting from SSH, Git, WebDAV probably). As mentioned, it is not an open source project, but some parts of the code will be released in the future. Java reader/writer for org files is written from scratch (imaginatively named jorgmode) and is a good candidate for that. Perhaps some Android-specific parts as well. You can find more (read: less) info on: http://www.orgzly.com/ App is available on Google Play as Beta -- which means you have to join Google group https://groups.google.com/d/forum/orgzly-android-beta first, to get a link to it. It has a limited set of features, but it should be already useful enough -- you can create, edit, delete, move, promote, demote, cut, paste, schedule, tag, prioritize and search notes. And sync notebooks. You might want to *copy* some of your org files to a new directory (or directories) you'll use for syncing and make sure you're happy with generated files. Files should be identical *except* for some white space. Let me know if it doesn't work for you or you notice anything else strange. Not too many different org files were used for testing -- worg, personal and some random ones found on the net were used. If you know where to find some more, do tell. Never enough for this kind of testing. Anyway -- hope you find the app useful (young as it is). Any questions, suggestions, ideas, issues, etc. are very welcome -- you can use the group mentioned above (posting by email is enabled), reply to me, or use support@orgzly.com. Thanks, Neven
