I don't like the reliance on emacs. I do a lot of writing on my phone and tablet, which have limited emacs support. That adds some overhead for my writing, which would distract from the main point (writing).

Instead of org mode, I bought a markdown editor for iOS and use that. Then I sync the markdown files to my computer using iCloud.

Orgzly does the job for Android, same workflow you describe but with org files.

Even has system-wide note capture via system drawer which makes jotting notes and ideas very efficient. Something I need to figure out with rofi + org-capture or similar for desktop!

For those who use Android there is Orgzly which can edit and org mode files (but not everything I think)
