Just curious, which repo type are you using? Because it seems very inconvenient if you get conflicts as soon as you add something without having the latest changes on the remote side.

I suppose you have already considered adding quick notes to a different notebook, which is not updated on the remote side? As I see it, part of the beauty of org-mode is the ability of the agenda to show content from multiple files, and the ease of sorting items from something like an "inbox" notebook.

Sorry for the late reply @amberin , I'll try to explain as best as I can.

So when I add a quick note, it goes to inbox.org, which I use WebDAV to sync my phone with my Nextcloud server.
My inbox is just my various notes/todo/things to remember/ideas, that I can't write down properly, or need to be refined later.

The refining/categorizing etc. happens on my computer. This means that I'll open my inbox.org, and cleanup my inbox, and move all the items to the correct .org places, delete them if no longer needed etc. and then in the end save inbox.org.

The issue then comes, when I have updated inbox.org from my computer, but haven't synced these changes manually on my phone yet. So next time I have something important I need to remember, I add it to my inbox, but then I get a conflict.

This is why, I would much rather it just try to sync it before trying to add any note as a quick note. As sync errors (both modified) are impossible to fix. You can either keep the thing you added, and have all the old inbox stuff be there, or you can then sync the remote copy, and have to add the note again.

I hope this clears it up.
