I’d love for this to become a well-recognised badge of honor, bringing more visibility to lesser known tools.

I built a couple of iOS apps that happen to use org as their portable file format. The fact that its org is less relevant. The iOS apps stand on their own with mobile-friendly UI. If you want to peek at the org content, you can too of course:

There are a handful of other org-based tools out there. Org apps are great for those with an org background, but these apps can be equally recommended for new-comers. What’s important is these apps serve a purpose while also respecting privacy, portability, etc.
