Zim is a graphical text editor designed to maintain a collection of locally stored wiki-pages, a personal wiki.[3][4][5][6] It works as a personal knowledge base and note-taking software application that operates on text files using markdown. Each wiki-page can contain things like text with simple formatting, links to other 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 can be used with the Getting Things Done method.[7]
Zim is written in Python using GTK libraries. It is open source and free software under the GPL-2.0-or-later license.[2]
