I've been building Bloom, an open source Android app for note-taking and task management that's compatible with org-mode.

I was experiencing some friction with Orgzly Revived and thought I'll build my own and it just grew. The latest update adds support for attachments and renders images inline.

Do give it a try if you have an Android phone. The app has a ton of features. Some of the highlights are:

- Capture templates

- app shortcuts with easy access to capture templates

- notify of sync conflicts and offer a way to resolve them by picking on of the revisions or merging both

- a customizable agenda that shows overdue, due soon and upcoming events

- add tasks from the agenda widget using the quick add overlay

- refile tasks by drilling down into files and headings or just searching for them

- auto archive done tasks so that you don't have to clean them up manually

- attachments can be added to notes which complies with org-attach. And images are rendered inline with support for setting the width

There are a lot more features than what's mentioned here and more to come.
