What do you use for editing on mobile, for files synced by syncthing?

I use orgzly [1] and configure it to "sync" to Syncthing's local folder [2] (which Syncthing then syncs). This requires write access to Syncthing's data directory though, so I'm not sure it works on stock Android.

[2] e.g. configure a "directory repository" with content://com.android.externalstorage.documents/tree/<device id>%3AAndroid%2Fdata%2Fcom.nutomic.syncthingandroid%2Ffiles%2FSync%2Forg

I'm running a stock Pixel 2 and I've been using syncthing to sync pictures and videos to my desktop automatically, but didn't know about Orgzly. I just hooked up Orgzly and syncthing and it worked without any issues. Thanks for commenting about orgzly!

I believe I used an app from fdroid called Markor. Mainly because it had a nice widget, so I could keep a to do list on my home screen.

Edit: Fixed a spelling error. Also, here's a link to the app:
