What it does

TidGi is a cross-platform desktop application for note taking, GTD, and fragment knowledge management. Built on Node.js TiddlyWiki, it supports local wiki workspaces, separated editable tiddler files, backlinks, knowledge graphs, community plugins, and interactive scripts.

The application lets users store data locally or use GitHub as a storage and GitHub Pages blogging platform. It can create local Git repositories, back up wikis, clone online wikis, and deploy a TiddlyWiki blog. Official packages are provided for Windows, macOS, Debian/Ubuntu, and RPM-based Linux distributions, with an official mobile companion.
