OrgBridge — Seamless org-mode mobile companion
Lets Emacs users read and write org-mode notes and tasks on mobile without leaving the ecosystem
- Problem
- Emacs users rely on org-mode for notes and tasks, but existing mobile apps are either incompatible with org-mode or too limited, breaking their workflow on phones and forcing them to compromise or give up syncing.
- Solution
- A mobile companion app compatible with org-mode files, supporting viewing and editing org files, syncing task states, and receiving agenda reminders. It syncs bidirectionally with desktop Emacs via WebDAV, Git, or self-hosted sync, focusing on viewing and quick capture.
- Users
- Developers, researchers, and knowledge workers who use Emacs org-mode for tasks and notes, especially those needing mobile access
- MVP
- Parse and render headings, TODO states, tags, and schedules from org files; quick-add TODO items and notes; sync via WebDAV/Git; agenda view and notifications; limited to viewing and lightweight editing, not full org syntax
- Revenue
- Free basic version; premium sync features (Git sync, multi-repo, custom capture templates) via one-time purchase or annual subscription
- Why now
- The org-mode community is stable and willing to pay, while mobile solutions are scarce; indie developers can ship cross-platform apps quickly without a large team
