Hello Worg, the Org-Mode Community!

Introduction to Org-Mode and Worg

The page you're reading is part of Worg, a section of the Org-mode web site that is written by a volunteer community of Org-mode fans and supplements the official project docs on the rest of the site. Worg is like a W​iki on Org, hence the name. It includes tutorials, ideas, code snippets, etc., shared to make your introduction to and customization of Org-mode as easy as possible. The source files are written in Org and hosted here. Worg is maintained by a group of contributors, and maybe you.

Org-mode is a powerful system for organizing your complex life with simple plain-text files. It seamlessly integrates all your notes, mindmaps, TODO lists, calendar, day planner, and project schedules into a single system that can be easily searched (e.g. by grep), encrypted (e.g. by GnuPG), backed up and synced, imported/exported, and accessed on the go (e.g. on an iPhone or Android smartphone). It can even be used for authoring web pages and documents.

Check out some screenshots of Org-mode in action. See what people have to say about Org-mode, and read a few user stories!

Org-mode is distributed as part of the Emacs text editor and runs wherever Emacs runs, including on GNU-Linux, Windows, and Mac. Written by Carsten Dominik, it is now maintained by Ihor Radchenko and used by many helpful people who, like you, are desperate to get and stay organized. You can read more on how Org-mode is maintained.

Worg documentation on your machine

If you are reading this on the website, you can also download the .org source files of all the Worg pages and read them in Emacs. In Org mode you can try out features as you read about them, execute code snippets, access the built-in documentation of functions and variables mentioned, and learn by example from the files themselves.

To download Worg .org files on your machine: 

git clone https://git.sr.ht/~bzg/worg
