Notebook software designed like a Wiki platform for users to take down and organize their personal notes.
wikidPad is a free and open source software that functions like a Wiki-like notebook. The application enables you to store your ideas, notes, contacts, to-do lists or any other information that you need to jot down. What sets wikidPad apart from other notepad applications is its ability to cross-link information with ease. This is achieved through the use of WikiWords, which are mixed case words that are typed into the editor.
The application has been named after the word "wiki" which means "quick" in Hawaiian. Therefore, the fundamental concept of wikidPad is to help you link information quickly. Although wikis are not a new concept, many web-based wiki servers are available. However, wikidPad is different from a typical wiki as it offers real-time wiki functionality. It is a standalone notepad-like application, but with steroids.
wikidPad is like an integrated development environment (IDE) for your thoughts. Software developers are accustomed to using IDEs to improve their productivity. These IDEs offer features such as auto-completion, outline views, and incremental search. By providing these features, wikidPad attempts to address the problem of personal information management.
