Powerful org-mode, finally at home on iOS. Plan your day, capture notes and links, and track time in your own .org files on iPhone and iPad. PLAN YOUR DAY See today's tasks alongside optional Calendar events and Reminders. Browse your week or month, or use Agenda filters for priorities, habits and completed items. Upcoming items are grouped by week and day, with later weeks tucked away until you need them. CAPTURE A NOTE OR A TASK Save an idea without giving it a TODO state or priority. Share text or a web link to Orger, add your own comments, and choose an org file. Shared text and links default to Note; switch to Task when you want an action item. Source links are kept when the sharing app provides them. TRACK YOUR TIME Clock in and out of a task with the free Manual Clock and keep the time log in your Org file. Optional Full Access adds adjustable Focus Timer sessions with saved time history. KEEP YOUR ORG WORKFLOW Open a folder in Files to browse and edit your .org files.
