June 2024: after a long time, not using it, I came back to it. I just cannot get checkboxes to work, and I’ve looked at the beorg forum no luck.
The left and right arrows are so small on the agenda tab it’s hard to press them. It really frustrates me that the top half of the screen for a task is taken up with stuff I rarely use. Wish it was at the bottom. Using the iCloud sync works well and is the only reason I’m using this app, as I have all my stuff on the go. As I get used to the app I will adjust my review. Can’t get notifications to work. Even purchased the extension for notification sounds, but nope. The iOS notification settings are good, too.
Amazing
The app is very well made, and using your agenda is very neat and simple. That said, the killer features of this app are the Home Screen widgets, which makes these the easiest recommend for a reminders app replacement, and the calendar syncing. The calendar syncing is remarkable, and makes this app a calendar killer as well. And if you purchase the calendar sync extension, you can sync Emacs with your iCloud and google calendar so easily especially considering how org-gcal still doesn’t work. Easiest recommend of my life.
Not open source
Not open source which is against the spirit of org mode. Would donate if it was open source
Best org mode iOS program
I’ve compared this to the other org mode programs and it is far ahead of them. The Plainorg program does a nicer job rendering a single file but has no capability to show an agenda, easily refile, clock tasks etc.
Speaking of refiling, I don’t see a good way in beorg to refile directly to a heading. I’m also still struggling figuring out how to handle sub folders with iCloud syncing but overall, a great program.
after few years of usage…
Beorg is an excellent app for managing my daily life and work tasks. As an org-mode user, it fills the gap for mobile needs and has greatly improved my productivity. I highly recommend it to anyone looking for orgmode in mobile task management solution.
Works, but feels clunky

High-quality org mode client
App has undergone a *serious* amount of development in the past 6 months. I used orgzly on android prior to migrating to iOS - beorg has gone from "nice client (well designed, few bugs), but missing some features compared to orgzly" to "I can see myself investing in learning these gestures" (to the same degree that I care about muscle memory in org running on emacs) Edit (several months later): This app is what's keeping me on iOS instead of Android. At this point, I actually trust the buffer syncing & file conflict resolution UX to behave consistently. IME, cross-device syncs are surprisingly snappy, and truly-unavoidable failure modes --transient networking issues, simultaneous conflicting edits, etc.-- are handled gracefully *and* transparently. I don't flinch every time I have to switch devices. Also, the editor is pretty.
Great app, amazing developer
This app has tons of org-mode features to fit the huge variety of idiosyncratic workflows folks build for themselves. It is super configurable via a typical settings menu, but also can load custom scheme code to set configuration or even change functionality.
The developer is also very responsive, and has proven over the years that this app will continue to be maintained and improved.
The glue that holds my life together
beorg arrived on the org-mode unicorn!
Fantastic
After using Things for a few years, I recently switched over to Orgmode to keep things plaintext. This app is what made me cut the Things cord. Fantastic in all respects.
