Anyone out there who uses or more specifically .. What suggestions do you have for syncing with your android phone (or google calander)? I found quite a few ways but all feel rather hackish to me, wondering if anyone has an elegant solution out there.

Right now im considering using taskwarrior as a middle man and syncing between org and taskwarrior and then syncing up taskwarrior with either google calander or my android directly.

@freemo I use Emacs and org-mode for my task management, the Android app Orgzly for mobile access, and Syncthing to synchronize between them. It works okay though I get sync conflicts regularly that I have to resolve. Mildly annoying. I think this is because the Syncthing service on my Android phone gets kill periodically without me noticing so it doesn't stay up to date. Other than that, it's great. I get notifications for scheduled tasks and what not.

@purplg I think I looked into that one before, never triedit out though I dont think.

I wonder if that will work with my garmin watch being able to see it... I hope garmin isnt hard coded into google calander or something stupid....

@purplg @freemo Yep, same here. Org-mode, Orgzly, and Syncthing; which synchronises all kinds of other stuff as well between devices.

@purplg
Fixed the kill problem from battery saver and fixing battery mode in settings
@freemo

@freemo i use orgzly on android and syncthing to sync between 3 devices, works great :)

@freemo
Just use syncthing. I have had zero issues nor have any of my relatives. Have been using it for more than two years now.

@bitblit How would that, on its on, get my agenda into my google or android calendar?

@freemo
I mean, to make an action on any application programmatically requires it to be accepting of that or by the use of adhoc scripts. What i mean is, to add to google calendar you need to create a script which logs on to google calendar and creates a new event (take note of how hard google makes this) and finally complete the event. You mention task warrior for that. I say you directly use the org file AS THE calender. Then sync that file with android and pc

@freemo
You can then also use something like NTFY.SH on f-droid to create notifications on specific timings a lot of fun stuff (if you are on linux).
