Software Repository: Download WikiTaxi

WikiTaxi enables you to read, search, and browse Wikipedia offline. No Internet connection is needed, all pages are stored in a WikiTaxi database. Because Wikipedia is constantly growing, WikiTaxi uses compression to make sure that the database stays reasonably small. The huge English Wikipedia easily fits on a 8 GB memory stick.

WikiTaxi is multilingual, which means that you can use it for Wikipedias from different languages (see screenshots). It also works well with the dictionary and quotation Wikis, if you like. You can also save multiple Wikis to disk and use all of them with WikiTaxi.

WikiTaxi is up to date. It works with the original Wikipedia database dumps, which are updated regularly every few weeks or so. If you feel that your offline Wikipedia is getting too old, you can go online to download a more recent version or just copy it from a friend.

WikiTaxi is simple: It requires no installation. Just extract the WikiTaxi archive to any folder, that's all. This folder can be on a fixed hard drive, or a portable device like memory stick or flash card. WikiTaxi does not modify the operating system, except for a small options *.ini file which it places right next to its own executable.

WikiTaxi is also portable: It is a single-file application which you just need to double-click to run. It does not require a database engine or HTML browser, nor does it require PHP. All functionality is completely self-contained in a single executable.

WikiTaxi is easy to maintain: To uninstall, simply delete the executable file. To remove an outdated database, just erase the file.

To run WikiTaxi, double-click on WikiTaxi.exe. The welcome screen guides you through a few simple steps to download and import your first Wiki. It will be up and running with just a few clicks!
