I use Orgzly and find it quite nice.

The main difference seems to be that Orgzly is a native Android app, while Organice is a (self-hosted) web service that happens to render nicely in a mobile browser.

I didn't to run a a whole separate server just so I could edit my org-mode files from a phone, so I like Orgzly better. But YMMV.

Lately I am trying to migrate to just running the native emacs on my phone with Termux :>

You're right that Orgzly is a native app, but you're spot on in that organice just happens to render nicely in a mobile browser. You also don't have to run a 'whole separate server' to use it.

organice is a progressive web app and specifically built for that purpose. More on this in the docs: https://organice.200ok.ch/documentation.html#orgcc693e5

As for the installation of it, there's no server required. More on this in the docs: https://organice.200ok.ch/documentation.html#orgfa38071

Having said that, please continue to use whatever works best for you^^ I just wanted to clarify these points.
