Great UI and idea, but unusably slow

I’d love to give 5/5, but it’s just slow and nonresponsive. I’ve tried with new org files and tried archiving a lot of my running notes and taste, but it just lags at the best of times. The UI is nice and the idea is great, but the execution just doesn’t work for me. I hope it improves!

Tags are missing though

Edit: Keeps hanging and resets everything typed so far.
Edit: Tags are supported.
It would be nice if one could use the clock-in command in Plain Org to measure passing time on scheduled tasks or headings. E.g. A button to
[Edit Add Reorder Delete Clock-in]
and a notifier like the round plus to also clock out the currently selected heading there.
If there is a button for that, I wasn’t able to find it.
Old:
Currently there is no support for tags in the heading.

Thanks for reviewing! For tags, long press a heading and select edit. You can add and remove tags.

Mistake. Waste of money

I was wrongly steered to this app. Since it cannot read my repo, it’s a wasted $12!!!

No widgets

Please add widgets

Super useful!

One of the nicest interfaces, heavily recommend.

SchΓΆne, leichtgewichtige Org-App

Andere Org-Apps kΓΆnnen mehr, aber keine geht so flott von der Hand wie Plain Org. Wenn man nur schnell was filen will oder ein paar Checkboxen antippen geht das hier einfach besser.
Dazu sieht die App gut aus, was will man mehr?

Great app!

Like this app for it simplicity

Excellent app!

Best org mode viewer on the Apple ecosystem. It’s so much better then the alternatives that the gap alone is worth the $15 for the app

Good software but currently broken

Not sure where to file bug reports. If it’s non-maintained it should be taken off the App Store because currently it’s impossible to edit files with recent iOS updates.

Hey thanks for getting in touch. Could you please use the β€œSend feedback” menu item and include details?

Great app for org files

Simply great for viewing and editing org files on the go. I tell everyone about it.

5 star

Totally awesome

Had to Purchase

The tool doesn’t perform as advertised there isn’t a way to color text or create colored stars. Yeah I can create an agenda, but this app falls short of being Org Mode for note keeping in my opinion

Perfect Org viewer

This app is everything I’ve been looking for in a simple, quick org-mode viewer on my phone! I mostly manage the content of the files on my computer, but I needed a nice way to interact with the data when I was out and about. I’ve tried a few other apps, but this one is by far the best.

Org mode on iphone

Happy to see a modern org mode iPhone app. Some color might be nice for headers and emphasized text, otherwise upon first impression, I am impressed. I am using synctrain to get the documents on my phone

Sync with dropbox

From the description I thought I could sync my files with Dropbox but unfortunately it doesn’t seem to be available πŸ™

Response from developer

Dropbox is partially supported (no image/file resolution/rendering) unless Dropbox changes their implementation. Is that what you saw? Please get in touch through the feedback menu.

Awesome!

The only thing that is missing is widget support.

im so happy this exists

Great org mode on the go!

Being able to view orgfiles on the go away from the desktop is simply awesome. Images are visible, internal links seem to work. Still developing, but already usable.

Making org work for iOS

This app is exactly the thing for you if you like using org mode and want to take some of the functionality with you. Of course you won’t see all of the bells and whistles of full org mode on the desktop but it works very well. Perfect for checklists you want to edit on either mobile or desktop environments, for being able to keep track of your todos while on the go, even grocery lists. Excellent support for getting files to and from the app, excellent and very responsive developer. Highly recommended- I use this app daily.
