Kiwi - Personal Wiki

Why? Using locally or Owncloud or Nextcloud would be great!

Requires DropBox-Account and won‘t work without.

Simple, looks neat and universal. Sync through Dropbox is cool. One of most proper markdown editor. If you have a plan to add some fucntions, backlink function would good choice. It would be great if I could change the font.

You need to link Dropbox but that isn’t a issue so it’s a very good app to use

This app is fake. It pretends it will offer you a paid, personal wiki-making service. In reality, it just demands that you link to Dropbox to use Dropbox functionality to organize your notes. It provides no service at all. Should be deleted from app store.

This was a good app but hasn’t been updated for awhile.

App starts out making you log into dropbox. If you don’t, it doesn’t let you do anything.

TrunkNotes is gone so I am looking for a good alternative. So far, there is nothing quite like TrunkNotes but Kiwi seems to be the closest. It's easy to create, edit, and link notes and format. It's visually appealing and unlike Bear, Kiwi hides all markup when not in edit mode. Backing up to dropbox occurs in the background when editing or creating notes seamlessly, you don't even notice other than at the top of the app it will indicate it. Just a few negatives: -App crashes when copy and pasting. -Unable to edit page names -When editing a new page in landscape have to hit return a few times to see what you are typing. -When editing a page in landscape, sometimes need to hide keyboard for page content to appear. A lot of what I miss from TrunkNotes: (and this is no fault of Kiwi but more of a feature request) - {{toc}} Easily create a table of contents of a note. Haven't figured out if creating a same page bookmark is even possible with KiWi. - @action items: The ability to create action items such as ToDo's, bills, etc.. where you can have action items in multiple notes and display them all together in another note. I created a Home Page in TrunkNotes that listed all of my action items from Contacts, Bills, ToDo's, etc so I could see everything on one page and each action item linked back to it's page where you can edit it or mark it complete. - CSS: The ability to create templates customize notes with CSS. One small example is with Kiwi you are stuck with blue and red highlighted links. Can't change it even with html. - Subpages, Headers, option to encrypt and password protect specific pages. - Timestamps: No timestamp option. Also, in TrunkNotes was able create a current time/date in the header page and in single notes so I always had the date visible. Kiwi does seem like the best option for me but one other concern is the future of Kiwi. Will it continue to be supported for years to come? It's been almost a year with no update and apparently has just one developer. The positive is it's easy to access and move content to a new app if need be.

The description does not make it clear that Dropbox is required. You cannot store the wiki on your phone and that is unacceptable.

The description doesn't make this clear, but it *requires* you to link a Dropbox account. I couldn't find a way to proceed without linking one. The three-star rating is only because I couldn't find a way to post this without rating. I didn't actually get any use out of the app so I don't feel qualified to rate it.
