Hi Martin,
Unfortunately, I am talking just a phone, so I don't think I'd find
that especially practical.

Hello John:
If your phone screen is big enough, you could use termux + emacs + git &
git-remote-gcrypt. With that you could use the same stack on Android as on
your laptop.
Termux is a linux console for Android that lets you install
packages with something similar to apt-get in debian/ubuntu.
I am thinking about getting a cheap Android tablet myself
in order to have a ultra light mobile workstation with termux.
On the other hand, a terminal console on a 5 inch phone
screen doesn't seem to be very practical for prolonged work.

Hi folks,
All along, I anticipated using this with Android (and,
ideally, also
iOS). The MobileOrg feature set looked great, and the syncing
mechanism
looked a lot better than sharing Dropbox.
I use git to share my ~/org between two computers (laptop and
desktop),
using git-remote-gcrypt to store on a server. This makes
syncing and
resolving conflicts easy (I move between the two throughout
the day, so
Dropbox is really not a great option here.) Sync integrity --
or at
least robust detection of conflicts -- is a must. Encryption
is a "very
nice to have."
Suggestions?
Here's what I've found so far:
MobileOrg - supports WebDAV storage. Has a robust sync
system,
integrated with org-mode, in which it seems to be able to
write out its
changes to a separate file that the computer can integrate.
Sounds
smart, though I suspect it will require additional hacking to
support
multiple Android devices. org-mode docs mention encryption
for this,
but the encryption is not supported by MobileOrg. Also,
MobileOrg was
last updated 4 years ago and seems to have bitrotted.
Orgzly - Supports only Dropbox or local-on-Android storage.
The latter
is insecure, as it permits any app on the system to read the
files. I
am really not sure how to integrate this with my workflow. It
seems
like potentials for conflicts are extremely high.
SyncOrg - Shows some promise, but couldn't even test locally
due to the
folder selection screen not working for the "External/Local
Only."
Suspect it's trying to do something insecure as well, or
doesn't work on
Oreo? ssh support seems to actually be ssh+git, which is nice
- except
that it's unencrypted. doh. The documentation made no
mention of
resolving conflicts. https://github.com/wizmer/syncorg/wiki/FAQ
seems
to suggest it uses the old MobileOrg push/pull in org-mode,
but I can't
see how that possibly works well with Git. I suspect that FAQ
to be
totally obsolete, because it also talks about a Dropbox
synchronizer
that SyncOrg doesn't even have. I could use this if I drop
git-remote-gcrypt, I hope.
MobileOrg-NG - Last updated in 2012. Didn't really look past
that.
