Org Mobile is a protocol for synchronizing Org files between Emacs and
|
||||
other applications, e.g., on mobile devices. It enables offline-views
|
||||
and capture support for an Org mode system that is rooted on a ``real''
|
||||
computer. The external application can also record changes to
|
||||
existing entries.
|
||||
|
||||
This appendix describes Org's support for agenda view formats
|
||||
compatible with Org Mobile. It also describes synchronizing changes,
|
||||
such as to notes, between the mobile application and the computer.
|
||||
|
||||
To change tags and TODO states in the mobile application, first
|
||||
customize the variables @code{org-todo-keywords} and @code{org-tag-alist}.
|
||||
These should cover all the important tags and TODO keywords, even if
|
||||
Org files use only some of them. Though the mobile application is
|
||||
expected to support in-buffer settings, it is required to understand
|
||||
TODO states @emph{sets} (see @ref{Per-file keywords}) and
|
||||
@emph{mutually exclusive} tags (see @ref{Setting tags}) only for those set in
|
||||
these variables.

@vindex org-mobile-directory
|
||||
The mobile application needs access to a file directory on
|
||||
a server@footnote{For a server to host files, consider using a WebDAV server,
|
||||
such as @uref{https://nextcloud.com, Nextcloud}. Additional help is at this @uref{https://orgmode.org/worg/org-faq.html#mobileorg_webdav, FAQ entry}.} to interact with Emacs. Pass its location through
|
||||
the @code{org-mobile-directory} variable. If you can mount that directory
|
||||
locally just set the variable to point to that directory:
|
||||
|
||||
@lisp
|
||||
(setq org-mobile-directory "~/orgmobile/")
|
||||
@end lisp
|
||||
|
||||
@noindent
|
||||
Alternatively, by using TRAMP (see @ref{Top,TRAMP User Manual,,tramp,}),
|
||||
@code{org-mobile-directory} may point to a remote directory accessible
|
||||
through, for example, SSH and SCP:
|
||||
|
||||
@lisp
|
||||
(setq org-mobile-directory "/scpc:user@@remote.host:org/webdav/")
|
||||
@end lisp
|
||||
|
||||
@vindex org-mobile-encryption
|
||||
With a public server, consider encrypting the files. Org also
|
||||
requires OpenSSL installed on the local computer. To turn on
|
||||
encryption, set the same password in the mobile application and in
|
||||
Emacs. Set the password in the variable
|
||||
@code{org-mobile-use-encryption}@footnote{If Emacs is configured for safe storing of passwords, then
|
||||
configure the variable @code{org-mobile-encryption-password}; please read
|
||||
the docstring of that variable.}. Note that even after the mobile
|
||||
application encrypts the file contents, the file name remains visible
|
||||
on the file systems of the local computer, the server, and the mobile
|
||||
device.
|
||||
|
||||
@node Pushing to the mobile application
|
||||
@subsection Pushing to the mobile application
|
||||
|
||||
@findex org-mobile-push
|
||||
@vindex org-mobile-files
|
||||
The command @code{org-mobile-push} copies files listed in
|
||||
@code{org-mobile-files} into the staging area. Files include agenda files
|
||||
(as listed in @code{org-agenda-files}). Customize @code{org-mobile-files} to
|
||||
add other files. File names are staged with paths relative to
|
||||
@code{org-directory}, so all files should be inside this directory@footnote{Symbolic links in @code{org-directory} need to have the same name
|
||||
as their targets.}.
|
||||
|
||||
Push creates a special Org file @samp{agendas.org} with custom agenda views
|
||||
defined by the user@footnote{While creating the agendas, Org mode forces ID properties on
|
||||
all referenced entries, so that these entries can be uniquely
|
||||
identified if Org Mobile flags them for further action. To avoid
|
||||
setting properties configure the variable
|
||||
@code{org-mobile-force-id-on-agenda-items} to @code{nil}. Org mode then relies
|
||||
on outline paths, assuming they are unique.}.
|
||||
|
||||
Finally, Org writes the file @samp{index.org}, containing links to other
|
||||
files. The mobile application reads this file first from the server
|
||||
to determine what other files to download for agendas. For faster
|
||||
downloads, it is expected to only read files whose checksums@footnote{Checksums are stored automatically in the file
|
||||
@samp{checksums.dat}.}
|
||||
have changed.

||||
|
||||
@node Pulling from the mobile application
|
||||
@subsection Pulling from the mobile application
|
||||
|
||||
@findex org-mobile-pull
|
||||
The command @code{org-mobile-pull} synchronizes changes with the server.
|
||||
More specifically, it first pulls the Org files for viewing. It then
|
||||
appends captured entries and pointers to flagged or changed entries to
|
||||
the file @samp{mobileorg.org} on the server. Org ultimately integrates its
|
||||
data in an inbox file format, through the following steps:
|
||||
|
||||
@enumerate
|
||||
@item
|
||||
@vindex org-mobile-inbox-for-pull
|
||||
Org moves all entries found in @samp{mobileorg.org}@footnote{The file will be empty after this operation.} and appends
|
||||
them to the file pointed to by the variable
|
||||
@code{org-mobile-inbox-for-pull}. It should reside neither in the
|
||||
staging area nor on the server. Each captured entry and each
|
||||
editing event is a top-level entry in the inbox file.
|
||||
|
||||
@item
|
||||
@cindex @samp{FLAGGED}, tag
|
||||
After moving the entries, Org processes changes to the shared
|
||||
files. Some of them are applied directly and without user
|
||||
interaction. Examples include changes to tags, TODO state,
|
||||
headline and body text. Entries requiring further action are
|
||||
tagged as @samp{FLAGGED}. Org marks entries with problems with an error
|
||||
message in the inbox. They have to be resolved manually.
|
||||
|
||||
@item
|
||||
Org generates an agenda view for flagged entries for user
|
||||
intervention to clean up. For notes stored in flagged entries, Org
|
||||
displays them in the echo area when point is on the corresponding
|
||||
agenda item.
|
||||
|
||||
@table @asis
|
||||
@item @kbd{?}
|
||||
Pressing @kbd{?} displays the entire flagged note in
|
||||
another window. Org also pushes it to the kill ring. To
|
||||
store flagged note as a normal note, use @kbd{? z C-y C-c C-c}. Pressing @kbd{?} twice does these things: first
|
||||
it removes the @samp{FLAGGED} tag; second, it removes the flagged
|
||||
note from the property drawer; third, it signals that manual
|
||||
editing of the flagged entry is now finished.
|
||||
@end table
|
||||
@end enumerate
|
||||
|
||||
@kindex ? @r{(Agenda dispatcher)}
|
||||
From the agenda dispatcher, @kbd{?} returns to the view to finish
|
||||
processing flagged entries. Note that these entries may not be the
|
||||
most recent since the mobile application searches files that were last
|
||||
pulled. To get an updated agenda view with changes since the last
|
||||
pull, pull again.

MobileOrg needs access to a file directory on a server to interact with

Emacs. With a public server, consider encrypting the files. MobileOrg
|
||||
version 1.5 supports encryption for the iPhone. Org also requires
|
||||
@file{openssl} installed on the local computer. To turn on encryption, set
|

the same password in MobileOrg and in Emacs. Set the password in the

variable @code{org-mobile-use-encryption}@footnote{If Emacs is configured for
|
||||
safe storing of passwords, then configure the variable,
|

variable.}. Note that even after MobileOrg encrypts the file contents, the
|
||||
file names will remain visible on the file systems of the local computer, the

server, and the mobile device.
|
||||
|
||||
For a server to host files, consider options like

@uref{http://dropbox.com,Dropbox.com} account@footnote{An alternative is to

configuration. Additional help is at

|

On first connection, MobileOrg creates a directory @file{MobileOrg/} on

Dropbox. Pass its location to Emacs through an init file variable as

follows:
