org mode in emacs is pretty great and there are lots of org editor apps for smartphones if you don't want to run full emacs.

Personally I sync my org files along with my calendar using git and that works well enough for me.

I’ve had a lot of trouble finding org editors for my phone. Org web like it might be the favourite right now but I don’t really want to host it myself.

Can I ask what format you use for calendar files too? That’s another one I have a bit of trouble with! Everything seems to want to use the Google APIs for everything.

Emacs actually has built in support for the unix calendar format and the official distribution has import and export utilities for ical files so you can handle/generate invitations. I keep it in the same git repo that I have my org files in.

I'm actually a vim user (and have been since I was ~12.) I just use Emacs because it's where all the good PIM tools are for Linux.

Any issues with Orgzly?

Org web looks neat, though I really hope there's some theming options.

Cannot see the clickable actions on the yellow background.

Edit: also from the looks of it Org-Web only needs a static host and some keys set up, as the gDrive/dropbox is done via client SDKs?

As a user of Orgzly, it's not the best note taking tool on mobile. Its a _great_ todo/reminder app that stores and syncs using org-mode.
