Looks promising. Спасибо!
Can you tell me if there are plans for the mobile client to work without a backend? That is, just specify a folder where my org-roam files are located and work with them. I already have such a folder and I access it with Emacs running in Termux (we are talking about Android). The folder is synchronized using Syncthing. Accordingly, I don’t have any special need for a backend or extensions to synchronize with it… Only
I use Syncthing and Organice, which works nicely together. I think I just gave Organice access to a single folder in Android.
This looks amazing! I’ve been wishing for something like that for a while.
This could be awesome
Do you have plans to upload the app to F-droid?
Sure!
Awesome; thank you.
from what I’ve heard this would be difficult. But do you consider creating an ios app long-term?
Wow, looks awesome!
This was always my dream for org-roam-ui, but sadly life got in the way of me making it a reality. Very happy to see it could inspire someone to do a proper job of it,good luck!
Do you need to be using org-roam to use this? Looks very promising but my system is all based around just regular org.
Org roam is just an approach to have links between notes, you are free to use OrgNote without such links. Currently there is only one limitation, you need to have an id property for each note you want to synchronize.
This is a temporary limitation, I plan to generate an id for any org file the user intends to synchronize (if that file doesn’t already have an id).
Is there any chance I can use it on an iphone?
Right now you can install PWA for ios, it works almost like a native app.
An ios developer account costs about 100$ per year. If we raise this amount on patreon, I will publish the app in app store as well
Yeah! Really good work! This is a step in the right direction for moving people away from propietary note apps like notion.
Any prospect of an iOS app?

What’s your plan for synchronization issues? I mean, lots of guys, it’s going to use primarily a desktop environment and I guess mainly using the phone to have a browser kind of functionalities as primary features. Okay, active test server will get access to synchronize in the future. I saw your information about what’s your plan here? Are you going to use a syncthing or your own version of server?
I am currently working on my own note synchronization server (I need it because I plan to try to integrate CRDT in the future).
I would also like to mention that currently notes are not encrypted on the client side. However, I also plan to implement this in the future.
I do not plan to integrate third-party synchronization mechanisms, but I will be working on an API that allows for custom extensions. With this API, developers will be able to create their own note synchronization mechanisms
IMHO the best way would be using git, which is literally made to resolve this kind of conflicts and it’s very battle tested. I’ve always had issues syncing notes until I switched to git.
As far as I know, git can’t be used for real-time synchronization and simultaneous collaborative editing. But I’ll give it some thought
is simultaneous collaborative editing a real need though? I’d say org notes are usually edited by a single person, often from multiple devices, unless you are trying to create a Google Docs competitor, I don’t think that’s a feature that is actually needed.
git also has the advantage of complete history and easy rollbacks.
I’ve given up using Orgzly because the syncing is atrocious, it has restored deleted notes multiple times. I’m now using Organice with gitlab backend and it works very well.
I need to think about it. The server functionality is also needed to share notes, although it may be possible to combine it with git storage as well
For what it’s worth, I collaborate with 1 other person, and for me it’d be sufficient if you simply alerted the user that someone else is currently editing the notes, locking them until the other user is done. What’s a much bigger problem is if someone edits the notes offline tries to sync them later!
I do collaborate on org notes with a partner! I agree with you that true simultaneous editing is unnecessary, but it’d be nice if the app flagged that someone else is currently editing the notes and locked them until the other person is done.
This is amazing!
It would be great to make it work without a backend, syncing files through the gitlab api, like Organice does
I don’t plan to implement this, however, in future versions, I will provide a client-side API that will allow developers to write their own sync provider
Hey! This looks very promising! A quick question if you don’t mind me asking:
Is the pwa version meant to be self hosted or to be locally run similarly to or-roam-ui?
I if can self host it on a server and sync/edit notes this would be a dream come true for me :)
Thanks!
Hi!, you don’t need to run it locally, just create a bookmark from the site as described here https://github.com/Artawower/orgnote/wiki/orgnote-install, or download it from release page if you have android phone You can deploy your own backend, but I think right now some env values are hardcoded and you might run into a problem, besides there is no manual on how to do it. Also, I need to provide the functionality to choose a server from the client side… Right now you are forced to recompile app for a new server with new
API_URLandAUTH_URLenv variables
Great work mate. Keep it up. I tinkered with native iOS app for a bit and abandoned few years back. Will try this one.
