Carry the world's largest encyclopedia in your pocket — and read it anywhere, even miles from the nearest signal.
Lirum Wiki turns your iPhone, iPad, and Mac into a complete, self-contained library. Import Wikipedia and OpenZIM archives from Files, iCloud Drive, network shares, or external drives, or download them straight from the built-in Kiwix catalog. Once stored, everything works offline: reading, search, bookmarks, PDF export, and even a private AI conversation about the article in front of you.
