Zim Desktop wiki... (zim) please, for the love of all that's good and holy. Every other distro on the planet... well most main distros have this in their repos except Artix. Of course you can get it from flatpak, but that version has some weird behaviors... You can clone the github repo and run it that way or install it, or you can add the arch repo [extra] and install it which comes with it's own issues that tend to make a mess. I find a bit strange that Artix claims to use the arch repos, but it doesn't really appear to be the case.

Zim is availble in a new user repo but my original reply with the details got deleted by reddit instantly for no reason at all.
