I've been wanting to learn org-mode for years but I never get around to it. I use something similar, but I only worry that if I were to move to something else I would want it to be in the cloud so I could access it from devices and other laptops. Do you have a solution for this?

It's just plain text files, so you can sync it using whatever you want. Many people use Dropbox.

I have a bunch of org-mode files that I save into a Dropbox folder. That gives me backups, and access from other computers / laptops. Search is via ack or grep. It theoretically also gives me access from my phone using MobileOrg[1], but I have never actually set that up. [1]: http://orgmode.org/manual/MobileOrg.html http://orgmode.org/manual/MobileOrg.html

    Cool, didn't know about that. Does it search multiple files in a directory? I use it for work logs and keep one file per week.

@spatten and @kristiandupont - orgzly is a nice android client. You can sync the org files with dropbox or with git. You could also run a linux locally and install emacs. A keyboard is essential though when you're using emacs, orgzly works ok with touch but is less full-featured. Just as with vim i only use a small subset of what's possible with org-mode: clock in/out, tables, nested outlines, tags and priorities, links to other files and images.
