What do people use Tiddlywiki for?

TiddlyWiki is a highly flexible tool used for everything from journaling and research to documentation and teaching. Its single-file design and modularity make it ideal for customizing to fit any workflow.

Here are some examples from my own custom-built editions:

:books: Course Edition

Stores syllabus, exams, solved problems, homework, and resources — great for managing academic materials.

:brain: Mehregan Edition (Zettelkasten)

A second brain for personal knowledge management using atomic notes and backlinks.

:microscope: Tirgan Edition (Scientific Notes)

Equipped with BibTeX, KaTeX, and Refnotes — ideal for technical and academic work.

:seedling: Notebook Edition

Used for gardening logs, recipes, and DIY projects — a general-purpose life organizer.

:test_tube: Basic Edition

A minimal setup for TiddlyWiki development and prototyping.

:artist_palette: Vanilla Edition

Clean slate for quick mockups, flyers, and experiments.

:graduation_cap: XP Edition

Student-friendly version for class projects and group assignments.

:blue_book: Krystal Edition

An e-manual for documenting in-house tools like FBR-Sim (Fixed Bed Reactor Simulation).


I generate and manage these editions using a PowerShell script, which builds both normal and minified versions for easy distribution.

TiddlyWiki adapts to how you think — whether you’re a researcher, developer, student, or gardener.
