Kiwix
When there is No Internet. There is Kiwix.
Kiwix is a nonprofit organisation that provides offline access to free educational content through open-source software. It addresses the problem of limited or unreliable internet access by allowing users to store and browse resources such as Wikipedia and Project Gutenberg books without a connection, using compression technology to package large amounts of content into portable files.
The product suite includes the Kiwix Reader for browsing offline content, Kiwix Hotspot for local network access, a Catalog for discovering content, an Imager Service, Content Bundles, Kiwix Server for larger deployments, and Branded Apps. The openZIM compression system underpins the storage and retrieval of content. Kiwix is available for download or purchase through its solutions site, with a separate offering for website conversion, branded apps, and large-scale deployments. The organisation is community-driven and open-source, with most revenue coming from donations rather than advertising or personal data collection.
