Orgzly Revived review
A free, open-source Android outliner for structured Org-mode notes and tasks.
Reviewed by iTechGuides Editors · Editorial team · Updated Oct 2026
Orgzly Revived is a free, open-source Android outliner for people who want structured notes and to-do lists in plain-text Org-mode notebooks. Its hierarchical organization suits projects, reference material, and task lists that benefit from nested headings and searchable structure. The app supports task states, scheduling, deadlines, reminders, repeated tasks, agenda views, saved searches, links, widgets, and basic capture templates. It is designed for individual workflows rather than shared team workspaces, and its Android focus makes it a particularly direct fit for mobile Org-mode users.
The published Free plan includes the Android outliner, Org-mode notebook storage, and manual synchronization. Storage and synchronization can work with local directories and SD cards, while Dropbox and WebDAV provide additional options; experimental Git repository synchronization is also available. Integrations listed for the product include Dropbox, WebDAV, Git, and Nextcloud. This range gives users several ways to keep plain-text notebooks in locations that fit their existing setup, but synchronization remains manual. Orgzly Revived should appeal to people who value control over notebook files and Org-mode compatibility more than a cloud-first workflow.
Its standout strength is the combination of an outliner, task management, and Org-mode features in one Android app. Search expressions, sorting, agenda views, internal and external links, widgets, and capture templates extend the basic note-and-list model without changing the underlying text-based format. The trade-off is a narrow platform and collaboration scope: there are no desktop applications, no real-time collaboration, and no Markdown support. Choose Orgzly Revived for personal Android-based outlining with portable Org-mode files and flexible synchronization. Choose an alternative if desktop access, shared editing, Markdown notebooks, or automatic collaboration are central requirements.
