And for older phones, Wiki2Touch is a jailbreak app that does the same without images in about 14 GB.

I'm writing a Wiki2Touch archive viewer for more modern iOS, because my iPhone SE doesn't have 100 GB free for Kiwix.

Kiwix supports any .zim file, there are plenty of different wikipedia versions available, check https://download.kiwix.org/zim/wikipedia/?C=S;O=D

Thanks, but wikipedia_en_all_nopic_2023-12.zim is still 56 GB, whereas the BZ2-compressed Wiki2Touch archives are only about 14 GB for the latest (and only 8 GB for an archive from 2012 which I'm using).

I was wondering if that's why you are doing this, impressive how much smaller Wiki2Touch is. Very cool project of yours, hope you succeed!
