There are three options for using TiddlyWiki on Android:

Using Firefox and TiddlyFox

(Alternatively, see the video tutorial)

1. Ensure you have the latest version of Firefox for Android
   • http://getfirefox.com
2. Install the latest release of the TiddlyFox extension from:
   • https://addons.mozilla.org/en-GB/firefox/addon/tiddlyfox/
3. Install this extension to be able to save the TiddlyWiki file locally:
   • https://addons.mozilla.org/en-GB/android/addon/save-link-menus/
4. Download an empty TiddlyWiki by saving this link:
   • https://tiddlywiki.com/empty.html

   (to save the link, ensure you've installed the "save-link-menus" extension and then long-press on the link and choose "Save link")

5. When the file has downloaded, click on it within the notification tray or the download manager application
6. Choose to open the file in Firefox (rather than the default Android viewer)
7. Click OK in response to the prompt from TiddlyFox that asks whether to enable saving for this file
8. Try creating a new tiddler using the new tiddler button in the sidebar. Type some content for the tiddler, and click the ok button
9. Save your changes by clicking the save changes button in the sidebar
   • Look for the yellow notification Saved wiki at the top right of the window
10. Refresh the browser window to verify that your changes have been saved correctly

Using the AndTidWiki App

The AndTidWiki app for Android devices makes it possible to edit and save changes to TiddlyWiki5, including working offline without a network connection. Download it here.

Instructions for use:

1. Download an empty TiddlyWiki on another web browser
2. Move the file you just downloaded to the directory /sdcard/andtidwiki
   • You may rename it, but be sure to keep the .html or .htm extension
3. Open AndTidWiki
   • Don't use Menu/new TiddlyWiki menu option (it only supports the older TiddlyWikiClassic)
4. Open the file by touching its filename
5. Try creating a new tiddler using the new tiddler button in the sidebar. Type some content for the tiddler, and click the ok button
   • The wiki will be saved, and a confirmation message should appear at the top right of the window

Note: You can save your changes by clicking the save changes button in the sidebar even if you have not clicked the ok button to complete editing a tiddler

Note that AndTidWiki is published independently of TiddlyWiki

Using Node.js in Termux

Termux is an open source Android application that combines a Linux system and a terminal.

Once you open Termux on your Android system, it is straightforward to install and run the Node.js flavour of TiddlyWiki from the command line.

From then on, as long as Termux is not closed, you may access your wiki anytime from your favourite Web browser pointing on the expected address and port.

note to contributors: in Termux, you may as well install git, emacs or vi, in order to edit and maintain individual tiddler files. This would probably require that you also attach a more powerful keyboard to your Android, like the Hacker's Keyboard application or a Bluetooth external device.
