Review summary

Orgzly is a powerful, open-source note and task manager tailored for Org Mode fans, offering strong org-mode integration, text-file storage, and cross-device syncing. It shines in organization and search with a lightweight, focused UI. However, development has stalled, and its Org Mode focus plus some usability quirks can deter casual users. For loyal Org Mode users, it remains excellent, though many opt for the revived fork for updates and improvements.

Pros

Excellent Org Mode integration and compatibility across devices
Text-file based, open-source storage for portability and control
Cross-device syncing support via WebDAV and Syncthing
Strong organization features: outlines/branching, robust search, and easy movement of notes
Lightweight, clutter-free UI that keeps focus on content

Cons

Development has stopped / not actively maintained; Orgzly Revived recommended for ongoing updates
Org-mode-centric design can be steep for casual users and has a learning curve
UI/UX issues: finicky controls, very small buttons, lack of quick-add, and cumbersome reordering/toggling

Pretty good note and to do app.
2026-05-19	Ad*****	Orgzly is actually a really solid app for organized notes and task management 👌 I used it for a long time and liked the clean offline workflow, checklist system, and simple UI. But for my current setup, I wanted something faster for instant idea capture and better Obsidian integration 😭🔥 Still a very good app for people who like structured lists and offline productivity. Respect to the developer 😤 4 stars ⭐⭐⭐⭐
