Kiwix
An offline reader for iOS and macOS that makes Wikipedia and other web content available without an internet connection.
What is Kiwix?
Kiwix for Apple iOS & macOS is an open-source offline reader application that allows users to access web content, especially Wikipedia, without an internet connection. It solves the problem of information accessibility in low-connectivity environments by reading highly compressed ZIM archive files locally on Apple devices.
Users in areas with limited or unreliable internet access, educators, researchers, travelers, and anyone who needs offline access to Wikipedia or other web-based knowledge resources on iOS or macOS devices.
Developers choose Kiwix for its robust support of the open ZIM format, its native performance on Apple platforms, and its commitment to the open-source mission of making knowledge freely accessible to all, regardless of internet availability.
