beorg
Plain-text task manager for iPhone and iPad using Org mode files
What is beorg?
beorg is a task manager, outliner and agenda app for iPhone and iPad that stores everything in plain text Org mode files. Files sync through iCloud, Dropbox, WebDAV or a folder from another app, so the same tasks and notes can be opened in Emacs and other Org mode editors on a computer. The core app is free, and extra features are sold as individual extensions or all together in a beorg Premium subscription.
beorg has a free plan. Paid plans start at $0.99 per extension, or $1.49 per month for beorg Premium. See every plan

- Premium is a subscription, $1.49 monthly or $9.99 annually on the US App Store; single extensions are separate in-app purchases.
