Hi there! Off topic: For the people that use org-mode how do you access it with your iphone?

I want to start seeing my tasks with my iPhone and completing them. I have seen two options which are beorg and plain org. How do you do it?

    I use org-mode, but for tasks and stuff like that only. Not Zettelkasten.

    beorg is great for that: it offers an Agenda-like view (less customizable, though), with iPhone Reminders and Calendar integrated into one screen. When I use it, I use it to look up details/notes for tasks I scheduled for that day when I'm not at my desk. (1%) And to put stuff into my inbox. (99%)

    Álvaro Ramírez is doing a lot of cool coding experiments and his Plain Org is arguably the nicer app to browse outlines for their content.

    Yep, what Christian said, beorg for tasks, PlainOrg for interacting with org-files in general

    I use emacs for Zettelkasten with org-roam, but in actual fact, the features that I use the most are very basic and I keep asking myself if that will go away after getting more comfortable or if I might use something more focused such as The Archive and concentrate more on my part of the journey as a result.
    In general, I try not to overwhelm myself by using features simply because they are there but instead commit myself to using something I have identified a need for and it is a reassuring feeling that I will never run out of options with emacs and org mode. Nevertheless, emacs is temperamental and it is very difficult to gauge if getting a package to run is simple or will have you tear out your hair after hours of futzing around as happened to me recently after restoring a Macbook from a backup. No matter what I would do, I could not get org-roam to run under Doom Emacs (which worked on that very Macbook previously) and had to resort to using a vanilla emacs, which is no big deal but still.

    Limiting or liberating? I won't know until quite some time after the switch once the dust has settled but I can see the appeal of either solution.

    Anyway, sorry for the OT.

    Thanks for the help, that's what I ended up using. Beorg and Plainorg.
