To have my “second brain” (#orgmode on my #FreeBSD laptop) available on my mobile phone as well, I've been using #orgzly-revived for a while now. However, issues with the experimental Git synchronization made me want to switch to WebDAV.

Since I wanted a lightweight solution, I’ve now set up #Caddy with the #WebDAV plugin, and I’m pretty happy with it so far.

When I’m on my home network, I run a small script that opens the relevant ports in the firewall on my laptop and starts Caddy. After syncing, I stop the script, which stops Caddy and also closes the firewall. Done.

Of course I kept my Org files under Git version control.

@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.

Turns out that the best de-Googled phone note-taking PKB solution *for me* isn't a pretty e2e encrypted app + desktop-client + web site with a proprietary free-for-now sync protocol, or even a local-only app with text backup (with weird JSON backup formats), it's #Orgzly Revived + #Syncthing + #Emacs + auto-revert-mode and some care to make the notebook simple: each note a top-level heading, smart tagging, no subheadings. Since I used Emacs and Syncthing already it wasn't much of a leap.

Conflicted Copies: If you edit files on multiple machines while one is offline, #Nextcloud /#Syncthing will create conflict files, requiring manual resolution.
Direct Editing Lag: Editing files directly on a slow remote server (without local sync) can cause high latency within Emac
Yes these re problems or #orgzly there s to be some way to use #crdt with it

#orgzly syncs like a gem with #nextcloud

I have been using #orgzlyrevived for the last few months, it has been lovely. Just saw on github that the original #orgzly is getting some fresh commits too... could be exiting :)

Anybody using #orgzly on synced over #nextcloud on #android and want to briefly describe your setup to me? I really want to only sync select files so thar old stuff in my archives doesn't show up in my agenda in orgzly. Currently syncing over WebDAV. I've looked at documentation but haven't found a clear step by step guide so any useful links are welcome too!

Anyone have a fave multi-device #bookmark-sharing workflow?

I like to keep 0 open tabs, and I use bookmarks extensively. For years, I've been using the #firefox sync service to keep my bookmarks synced between my phone, laptop, etc. I figure it might be a good idea to have an exit plan just in case.

Once upon a time, I used #orgzly on android and #org-mode on proper computers, synced with dropbox. Any better options out there than #orgzlyrevived and ssh-sync to my server?

@publicvoit i know this is an old post and you're looking to move away from #orgzly but just FYI orgzly has an option now to sync at given intervals (e.g. every 15 min).
