I do! The excellent #Orgro is a mobile app designed to manage an #OrgMode document. Powerful and straightforward.

I don't. #Emacs GUI is consistent across platforms (sometimes that means it is a bit misfit to a specific desktop style, but that's okay) and Org adds good presentation to the #PlainText.

If you're reading this on Mastodon, you're seeing content originally posted to the Orgro official Org Social feed (https://social.orgro.org).

Kudos to @[email protected] for noticing early rumblings of these developments: https://github.com/amake/orgro/issues/200

Speaking of Org Social, a big yak shave concurrent to this release was org_social_mastodon_bridge, a tool that takes an Org Social feed and syncs it to Mastodon:

Other Org Social feeds can be easily opened from Open URL. If you copy the URL first, it will be auto-filled.

In fact if you open the official Orgro feed https://social.orgro.org on a device with Orgro installed, it will open in the app and you will find links to other posts (https://host.org-social.org/andros/social.org#2025-08-14T09:11:00+0200) and mentions all work as expected.

Cheers to @[email protected] (https://host.org-social.org/andros/social.org) (creator of Org Social) for such an interesting project.

@marlinz008 I thought about such an experiment as well with one very particular use-case: mobile capture.

I was using #Orgzly Revived which has its issues with larger Orgdown files and this overcomplicated sync cascade causing Syncthing conflicts all the time.

I was using it for read-only access to my Orgdown files + mobile capture in one inbox file.

Then I started with #Orgro in parallel just for the capture process so that I don't rely on Orgzly's ultra slow sync process to finish on each capture.

Since Orgro has very weird behavior with shared content (basically I wrote Elisp functions to fix the format for all different kinds of capture content types), I thought about vibe-coding my first Android app just for the capture process in a text file in the format I want.

Not high on my prio list. Let's see how that goes. #ClaudeCode is removing features or adding very annoying stuff so I might as well end up with no proper #AI to do this.
