Orgzly: Notes & To-Do Lists

Orgzly

About this app

Orgzly is an outliner for taking notes and managing to-do lists.

You can keep notebooks stored in plain-text and have them synchronized with a directory on your mobile device, SD card, Dropbox, or over WebDAV.

Notebooks are saved in Org mode's file format. “Org mode is for keeping notes, maintaining TODO lists, planning projects, and authoring documents with a fast and effective plain-text system.” See https://orgmode.org for more information.

Ratings and reviews

So if you're not using org, you may not need or want this. It's highly, unbelievably customizable, but the learning curve was pretty steep & I had to keep going back to the fairly terse user guide. For me the customizability is basically overkill; I only need it for tasks & to-do lists or shopping lists. I use a calendar app that is basically a better front end to the Android native GCalendar & syncs w/it online. THIS app is amazing. It's just way more than I need.

Used to be 5 stars, but with each update, more crazy gets added than good. For example, the latest version changed all the icons, and with very poor icon choices. For example, the icon to edit a note is the "escape" icon that normally means "to exit out of current viewspace." Further, the controls have gotten MORE clumsy by adding a new bar that wasn't needed and shifting controls to that bar, and then getting rid of long-press controls. Honestly, I'm about to go looking for older versions.

UPDATE: thank you for the great support. Everything works fine now. Can't get it to reliably sync between my different Dropbox endpoints. Whenever I change something on my PC, changes aren't being picked up by Orgzly, yet further changes on the app lead to a conflict on sync. I wish there was a way to just reset everything and copy from Dropbox manually to avoid this kind of problem.
