Kiwix PWA is an offline browser for any type of ZIM content. It works offline on any device that can run Chrome, Safari, Firefox, Brave, Edge, etc. In Chromium and Safari, it can be installed as a standalone app (and in Firefox on Android). It has three different dark themes and popovers for ZIM links in Wikimedia ZIMs. There are dedicated Electron apps for Linux and Windows, including ARM64. For Win 10/11 users, an auto-updating version is in the Microsoft Store (Win10/11).

Progressive Web App: https://pwa.kiwix.org
Electron Apps: https://kiwix.github.io/kiwix-js-pwa/app

The main changes in this version are: a critical fix for "port already in use" error in the Electron app, fixes for popover placement and general bugfixes. See full changelog.

Known issue: in the Electron app, you may need to restart the app twice after update for the internal code to update the Service Worker fully. The notice in Configuration will inform you if you still need to "load" the updated code.

Microsoft Store release: PUBLISHED
