Zim is a graphical text editor designed to maintain a collection of locally stored wiki-pages.[1][2][3][4] Each wiki-page can contain text with simple formatting, links to other wiki-pages, attachments, and images. Additional plugins, such as an equation editor and spell-checker, are also available. The wiki-pages are stored in a folder structure in plain text files with wiki formatting.

Zim is written in Python using GTK+ libraries. It is free software licensed under the GNU General Public License (GPL).

Availability

Several GNU/Linux distributions include Zim in their repositories (as of 2011), in particular Debian, Ubuntu, Arch Linux and Fedora.[6][7][8][9] Also FreeBSD and OpenBSD include Zim in their ports collections.[10][11]

The core features of Zim depend on python, gtk and python-gtk modules and thus Zim can be easily ported to any platform where these modules are available. In particular, Zim has been ported to the Microsoft Windows operating system. There were attempts and plans to port to Android.
