My main use of Emacs on Android (via Termux) is to be able to access and add to my Org-roam library of notes. This post is primarily about some Termux features which improve the user experience for this use case. [Update [2025-02-03 Mon]: added some screenshots throughout to give a sense of what it looks like.] Trying to Cope with Emacs on mobile I’ve tried a number of different solutions for managing sync’ed Org files on mobile1, and some of these are useful for some purposes, but to being able to access and add to my Org-Roam notes, I’ve found I really need a full-blooded Emacs instance.

I’ve been using the note-taking Zettelkasten-ish Org-roam system for a few months and it’s been very useful to me, just as a low-friction way of making more notes and easily finding and/or (re)discovering notes that I’ve made. It’s pretty useful to be able to have access to these notes, and be able to quickly add notes, on mobile as well. I thought it might be useful to include here some notes on how to do, since (especially since v2 of Org-roam) there are some hurdles.
