1 Motivations
- This is an update to a post that I wrote some days ago where I described how you can simply add emacs org mode notes from whatever device able to send an email without using any apps using IFTTT.
- IFTTT created a new, very useful, app for Android and Apple mobile devices which is called DO note. You can use it to trigger a recipe just by writing text on your device and by clicking a button which is even simpler and faster than sending an email;
3 What to do
3.1 Connect your Dropbox account to IFTTT
3.2 Download the DO notes app
3.4 Use a linux script to copy the notes to your org file
#!/bin/bash
cat ~/Dropbox/ifttt/Email/mobile_todo.txt >> ~/Dropbox/org/notes.org
cat /dev/null > ~/Dropbox/ifttt/Email/mobile_todo.txt
I run this script automatically every time that I turn on my computer.
