Trying Beorg
The beorg iOS app has me playing with Org mode again
post orgconfig tools
This is not a review. This is me, excitedly sharing screenshots of the shiny thing I am playing with.
Does beorg support your favorite Org mode feature? I have no idea. But I can add, schedule, edit, and save tasks.
You could manage everything on your phone, but synchronization is an important feature for me. Synchronizing org files via Dropbox – or WebDAV if that’s more your thing – works in both directions. I prefer Syncthing but I’ll take what I can get. Who knows? Maybe I’ll figure out WebDAV later.
TODO view
The TODO view lists tasks, including clear indications of scheduled completion – assuming you understand the notation.
The Rainer König Org tutorials on YouTube are great stuff. I’m going through them again myself for a refresher, and I highly recommend them if you want to learn Emacs Org mode.
The TODO view supports multiple filters.
Notifications
The app icon badge shows the count of overdue tasks.
Alarms pop up for deadlines.
I better wrap it up.
Also
beorg includes other features I don’t feel like looking at today.
The Agenda view integrates with your calendar events, which is both very handy and not something I feel comfortable sharing with the entire world :smile:
The Files view gives you something closer to a raw edit of your Org files, but honestly that’s pretty darned clunky on a phone for me. For the moment I’ll stick with high level task management on the phone, and Emacs org mode if I need anything more involved.
Anyways
Try out beorg if you’re on iOS. Read the manual for a more in-depth look at features and usage. I’m going to go reschedule that art project. I have other things that are higher priority.
