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. KEEP YOUR ORG WORKFLOW Open a folder in Files to browse and edit your .org files.
