Kiwix is an offline reader for Web content. It's especially intended to make Wikipedia available offline.

Kiwix manages to do that by reading ZIM files, a highly compressed open format with additional meta-data.

Features

  • Pure ZIM file reader

  • Bookmarks & Notes
  • ZIM based HTTP server
  • PDF/HTML export
