What it does

TiddlyWiki is a non-linear notebook made of small notes called tiddlers. The whole wiki, with its editor, can live in one HTML file that works offline, or run on a small Node.js server. Plugins, themes and a built-in macro language let you turn it into a journal, task list, recipe book or personal website.

  • A whole wiki in one file
  • Works offline with no server
  • Big plugin and community ecosystem
  • Powerful filters and templates for custom views

Great for: Tinkerers who want a notebook they can shape completely, and keep as a single file for decades.
