Zim

Write notes in a desktop wiki
About
Zim brings the power of a wiki to your desktop, providing a neat and structured way to take notes and record your thoughts. Each page in Zim is automatically saved as text file with wiki markup, including the ability to link pages and to add other files as attachments. Pages in Zim are also displayed in the sidebar in a hierarchical tree style layout to help organize your notes better.
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
- Keep a daily or weekly journal
- Take notes during meetings or lectures
- Organize task lists
- Draft blog entries and emails
- Do brainstorming
