What Orgzly Revived is

Orgzly Revived is an Android outliner for taking notes and organizing to-do lists. It stores notebooks as plain-text files in Org mode format, which is also the format it supports for import and export. Notes can have schedules and deadlines, priorities, and tags, while searches can be saved for quick access. Templates are supported. Notebooks can synchronize with local directories, Dropbox, WebDAV, and experimental Git repositories. Synchronization is manual: users start it by tapping the Sync button. When local and remote notebooks conflict, the app offers force load or force save; it has no other in-app conflict resolution method. Dropbox synchronization is available in the Google Play version, while the FAQ says it is unavailable in the F-Droid version. The app is distributed through Google Play, F-Droid, and direct APK downloads from GitHub releases. Its FAQ identifies Android as the only available platform. Orgzly Revived is free, with a listed price of $0, and has no free trial. Its privacy policy says it does not collect or share user data; notebook data remains on the device unless repository synchronization is configured. Documentation publishes a SHA-256 signing certificate checksum and recommends checking it against the checksum on GitHub. The maker provides support by email at [email protected].

Who it suits

Orgzly Revived suits Android users who want a free outliner for notes and to-do lists stored as plain-text Org mode notebooks. It may work well for people who want local or repository-based notebook syncing and are comfortable starting sync manually.
