org: MobileOrg
Appendix B MobileOrg
********************
MobileOrg is the name of the mobile companion app for Org mode,
currently available for iOS and for Android. MobileOrg offers offline
viewing and capture support for an Org mode system rooted on a “real”
computer. It does also allow you to record changes to existing entries.
The iOS implementation (https://github.com/MobileOrg/) for the
iPhone/iPod Touch/iPad series of devices, was started by Richard
Moreland and is now in the hands Sean Escriva. Android users should
check out MobileOrg Android
(http://wiki.github.com/matburt/mobileorg-android/) by Matt Jones. The
two implementations are not identical but offer similar features.
This appendix describes the support Org has for creating agenda views
in a format that can be displayed by MobileOrg, and for integrating
notes captured and changes made by MobileOrg into the main system.
For changing tags and TODO states in MobileOrg, you should have set
up the customization variables ‘org-todo-keywords’ and ‘org-tag-alist’
to cover all important tags and TODO keywords, even if individual files
use only part of these. MobileOrg will also offer you states and tags
set up with in-buffer settings, but it will understand the logistics of
TODO state sets (Per-file keywords) and mutually exclusive tags
(Setting tags) only for those set in these variables.
