beorg tip - If you have lots of files in beorg try turning off "auto sync on modify". This will stop beorg performing a full sync each time you change something, and instead only sync when the app is backgrounded.

beorg gives tasks a default priority of B for the purposes of sorting on the agenda. If you want unprioritised tasks to be shown after tasks with a priority, set org-priority-default to Z. (Use an init.org or the Customize extension.)

beorg tip - to capture text from Safari, make sure to follow these steps:
1. Select the text to share.
2. Use the main share button in Safari (not the one in the text selection menu).
Non-Apple apps can't access the webpage URL via the text selection menu, so beorg won't get the associated URL.

beorg tip: you can edit multiple items at once. For example changing status, adding/removing tags or rescheduling. Start dragging with two fingers close together on an item down/up the screen, or use the "Select Items..." menu option.

There is a beorg update just released. This fixes an iOS 26 bug, introduces a new setting so that search looks at both headlines and notes, and a setting to change how beorg determines if a task is overdue.

There's a small iOS 26 bug in beorg I've spotted. The button on the Agenda tab to show the saved searches causes a crash. I've submitted a fix for this and hopefully it will be approved before iOS 26 goes public on 15th September.

When I developed beorg in 2017 I was an Org mode newbie. Some early decisions I made weren’t quite right. One was pointed out today by a user - beorg considers an incomplete item with a past scheduled date as overdue, different to Emacs. There will be a flag to change this in the next update.

If you use the beorg “Sync items to Calendar” feature, beorg creates a special calendar which it manages. When it notices new items to be synced it will clear the calendar before adding events from your .org files. This calendar should be considered read-only.
