I think people use dropbox or some git based setting to locally modify agenda entries while being offline and synchronize later on. But they use Org-mode to make the local changes, they don't do them outside of Org-mode (except where exporters/conversion-tools between Org and other calendar/planning apps exist). To achieve what you want you should probably use Org-mobile or install Emacs/Org-mode on all your devices and then sync via dropbox or git or so. > On Sun, Apr 27, 2014 at 12:16 PM, Thorsten Jolitz <tjol...@gmail.com> > wrote: > > > Chris Poole <li...@chrispoole.com> writes: > > Hi, > > > I export my agenda custom views to plain text, so I can check > things > > off as I go (without access to Emacs). > > > > I use `(org-agenda-prefix-format " [ ] ")` so I can easily add > an "X" > > with my text editor on my phone. > > > > Is there any way to have this update the todo items that the > exported > > agenda file was created from?
