Emacs org-mode and sync with private(encrypted using git-crypt) github repo.

Termux and decrypt on mobile and view in orgzly.

Granted this is not easy to setup and has manual step to push and pull on mobile but everything is encrypted end to end and free 😄

Were you required to root your phone to clone the repo in a directory accessible to orgzly? I looked into this a few weeks ago, but recall running into hurdles with security restrictions

No I have not rooted. Just install Termux and then run termux-setup-storage in termux to access device storage. Now you can install git, openssh from termux command line. Navigate to sdcard and you can clone any project and access it in Orgzly. I wrote two functions in .bashrc to push and pull to my private repo. That is the only manual step I was talking about.
