DokuWiki Alternatives and Similar Software

DokuWiki is a popular wiki software that notably doesn't require a database. It uses plain-text files and has its own, very intuitive syntax for wiki content. Some might prefer an alternative for that matter, one with built-in Makrdown support.

DokuWiki is a self-hosted solution, so the most similar apps would be found under that platform. Like most self-hosted apps, it's open-source. Many freemium and commercial alternatives offer the benefit of iPhone and Android for creating wiki articles on the go, as well as web-based apps.

TiddlyWiki

TiddlyWiki is a single html file with all the characteristics of a wiki - including all of the functionality (including editing, saving, tagging and searching) and the style sheet. Because its a single file, its very portable - you can email it, put it on a web server or share it via a USB stick. It has a broad range of tools and an ever expanding plethora of plugins.
- Single user only. More a note taking app than a true wiki. Guest • 11 days ago

- Not a wiki. More like Confluence. Half wordpress, half notepad. Guest • 11 days ago
- A really slick and lightweight wiki alternative, easier to set up and maintain. stephenbarrow895 • Nov 2018 • 1 agrees and 0 disagrees
- Nuclino is a more modern, easy-to-use alternative, DokuWiki feels very outdated. octave_clavet • Nov 2018 • 1 agrees and 0 disagrees
- Nuclino is a lot more modern than DokuWiki. Fewer customization options, but that makes the experience a lot easier and faster, even for non-technical users like me. mflanagan009 • Nov 2018
