Screenshot About:
Zim is a WYSIWYG text editor written in Gtk2-Perl It aims to bring the concept of a wiki to your desktop. Every page is saved as a text file with wiki markup. Pages can contain links to other pages, and are saved automatically. Creating a new page is as easy as linking to a non-existing page. Pages are ordered in a hierarchical structure that gives it the look and feel of an outliner. This tool is intended to keep track of TODO lists or to serve as a personal scratch book.

[»] Zims is wonderful
by Pat Jr - Apr 26th 2008 07:52:42

Thank You for the fine program.
It simply feels right. I don't need spinning do hickeys and funny noises. I need easy to use programs that do want I want and work for me.

Zim is in the 10 top of my list of favorite programs.

Good stuff! Thanks Again.

[»] excellent work

Thank you for this wonderful program. I successfully compiled it on windows using the instructions on the website. It'd be nice to have an installer though.

I like that it's clean and simple yet it has all the features I need.

The thing that I like to have been improved is that if the linked text can be formatted (larger/bold/italic..etc).
One problem I have when I run zim on Windows is the ms command window that always comes up and can't be closed without exiting the program. Is there a solution?

It would be nice if you could provide us with more information about how to create a plugin.

Also, is it possible to export pages as XML?

    Developer docs are not packaged in the releases, but have a look at the docs on the website or checkout the code repository.

    No at the moment but it is somewhere on the TODO list.

[»] An excellent tool
by edwardfordfay - Apr 19th 2007 08:54:48

I looked a very long time for a tool like Zim and am now quite happy to have found it. I've been using it daily for the past two months. It has greatly improved my productivity both at the office and in my personal studies.

My previous note taking/personal knowledge base strategy relied on emacs/gedit and a directory of loosely associated text files. Needless to say, it was a chaotic mess.

Zim has rectified that situation. These are its greatest strengths:

- very clean and intuitive interface

- easy manipulation of name spaces

- easy navigation between pages. The Ctrl-J feature let's me hop around as quickly as my thoughts change

- my notes are not locked into a strange data format. I can take my entire ~/zim repository anywhere at anytime to be manipulated by any other number of programs.

The last point above was of perhaps the greatest importance to me.

thank you gain for this delightful program

EF Fay
