This means if you forget to push and the mobile Org is stale, you can also remotely force a push by adding a dummy item and syncing 2x. http://kenmankoff.com/2012/08/17/emacs-org-mode-and-mobileorg-auto-sync/ * You can add "#+FILETAGS: REFILE" to the top of the file where mobile items get synced, and then in a custom agenda make sure those all appear in a section so you remember to file them once they are on the desktop Org. (C-w). Hope this helps, -k.
