Important Note

No Maintenance Intended

Active development of MobileOrg has stopped. I no longer use org-mode and am not interested in handing over maintainership. I'll leave this codebase around for future inspiration/use/forking.

Getting Started

Before using MobileOrg, please read its section in the org-mode documentation.

Then visit our Documentation and FAQ:
