Piki is a personal wiki that lives on your computer. No cloud, no account, no tracking — just your notes, organized exactly the way you want them.
Piki gives you a clean, fast, and organized way to manage all your personal notes and knowledge — right from your browser, without leaving your machine.
Create, edit, and delete pages with full-featured rich text. Your content, formatted just the way you want it.
Organize pages with custom types — each with their own color and icon. Visual clarity at a glance.
Tag your pages for easy cross-category filtering. Find what you need in seconds, not minutes.
Find any page by title immediately. No lag, no delay — your local data means blazing-fast results.
Backup your entire wiki to a ZIP file. Restore it anytime, anywhere — you own your data, completely.
Password protection with encrypted storage. A recovery key in case you forget. Your wiki, only for you.
Piki requires no installation wizard, no database setup, no server configuration. If you have Java, you're good to go.
Grab the latest release ZIP. Extract it anywhere on your computer.
Double-click start.bat on Windows or start.command on Mac. Your browser opens automatically.
On first launch, create your password. A recovery key is generated — save it somewhere safe.
Requires Java 17 or higher · Windows & macOS
Piki runs entirely on your machine at localhost:8080. No internet connection needed, ever.
Your notes never leave your computer. There are no servers, no sync, no third-party storage.
No analytics, no telemetry, no ads. Piki doesn't even know you exist — and that's the point.
Export everything as a clean ZIP file anytime. Your data is yours — portable and readable.
In a world where every app wants to sync your data to the cloud, Piki takes the opposite approach. What you write stays on your disk — encrypted, password-protected, and completely offline.
No account to create. No email to verify. No subscription to manage. Just a JAR file and a double-click.
Piki is free, lightweight, and runs anywhere Java does. No install wizard. No account. No nonsense.
