# Orgzly Revived

> Org mode outliner for notes and to-do lists on Android

Orgzly Revived is a free Android outliner for taking notes and managing to-do lists, maintained by the community as a continuation of the original Orgzly app. Notebooks are stored as plain-text files in Org mode's format and can sync with a folder on the device, Dropbox or a WebDAV server. A query language and an agenda view filter notes by state, tag, priority and scheduled or deadline time.

## Key features

- **Outliner for notes and to-dos:** Notes sit in an outline inside notebooks and can carry states such as TODO and DONE, tags, priorities, and scheduled, deadline and event times.
- **Plain-text Org mode files:** Notebooks are written as plain-text files in Org mode's file format, so the same files can be read and edited in Emacs or another text editor.
- **Sync repositories:** Notebooks sync with a directory on the device, Dropbox, any WebDAV service such as Nextcloud or, experimentally, Git. Sync is started by hand with the Sync button.
- **Search expressions:** A query language finds notes by state, notebook, tag, priority and scheduled, deadline, event, closed or created period, joined with AND, OR and NOT and sorted by chosen properties.
- **Agenda view:** Adding ad.DAYS to any query groups the results by day for that many days, in the manner of org-agenda, sorted chronologically within each day.
- **Repeated tasks and links:** Org-mode repeater syntax moves a task's date forward when it is marked done. Notes can link to web pages, files, other notes and whole notebooks.

## Good for

- Emacs Org mode users who want their files on an Android phone
- People who keep notes and tasks as plain text they control
- Syncing notebooks through Dropbox, Nextcloud or a local folder

## Worth knowing

- Android only: the FAQ says there is no iOS version, and no desktop or web app is offered.
- Synchronization is manual, and a notebook changed on both sides can only be resolved by forcing a load or a save.
- Dropbox sync is missing from the F-Droid build; it is only in the Google Play version.
- Git sync is labelled experimental.

## Works with

Dropbox, Nextcloud, Git
