Many Org-mode users are looking for a way to add notes and TODOs when they aren’t at their computers. Most folks use one of the smart phone apps such as beorg or orgzly or perhaps even organice. Kevin Cunningham has another idea.
Cunningham is mostly concerned with adding TODOs to his GTD files wile he’s out and about so he put together a system to add TODOs with an SMS message. He uses Twilio and Dropbox to handle the messaging and communication between Emacs and his phone.
It’s a cute trick and Cunningham gives a detailed account of how he did it if you’d like to set up such a system yourself. His post is worth reading even if you don’t have an immediate need for such a setup. It’s a great example of snapping together existing technologies and adding to little glue code to produce a useful tool.
