![]() I really think Orgzly is the perfect partner app for IQ on Android. If Pierre were to come up with an import option for Org files, even metadata (see list above) could be synced with the phone. ![]() So this part alone has already become much more convenient. With Keep, I had to copy and paste each note individually or export the lot into Google Drive, copy them from there, delete the resulting file in Drive etc. I then use the Paste Special option 2 in IQ to paste all my incoming notes into an Inbox grid as separate items (preserving any outline structure), then distribute them around my main IQ file from there. On the desktop, I have set up a simple script (PowerShell can do the trick, I'd be happy to share the code) to remove unnecessary markup from my 'Inbox' file and put my notes on the Windows clipboard in tab-delimited format. VoilĂ , now all my private data doesn't even have to traverse the Internet anymore. It works like a charm, the only condition being that both 'devices' are connected to the same wifi network. This is where Syncthing comes in: It syncs files (either automatically as per a time interval or on a manual trigger event from the user) between your phone's memory and a folder on your desktop computer. Even if you never want to use Org mode directly, its format will serve very well as an intermediary between mobile and IQ. ![]() Those are plain text files with a specific flavour of markup language for structuring / formatting, but basically all your information and meta-information (scheduling, todo states, deadlines, priorities etc.) is there in a plain text file. The app can be set up to write all content to. Orgzly aims to make much of the functionality of (Emacs) Org mode available on mobile. I have since (been running this setup for a couple of weeks now) canned Google Keep entirely (except for shopping lists) after having been stuck with it for maybe 4-5 years. I've recently rediscovered it and coupled with Syncthing it really is amazing. Do yourself a favour and check out the Orgzly app for Android.
