zim

Zim is a graphical text editor used to maintain a collection of wiki pages.

Each page can contain links to other pages, simple formatting and inline images. Pages are stored in a folder structure, like in an outliner, and can have attachments. Creating a new page is as easy as linking to a nonexistent page.

All data is stored in plain text files with wiki formatting. Various plugins provide additional functionality, like a task list manager, an equation editor, a tray icon, and support for version control.

Zim can be used to:

• Keep an archive of notes
• Take notes during meetings or lectures
• Organize task lists
• Draft blog entries and emails
• Do brainstorming
