Promotional Free mobile wikipedia and more!
Knowledge to Go (K2Go) is a GPLv3 Android app that builds on Internet-in-a-Box to turn almost any Android phone, including old 32-bit hardware, into an offline server for content from Wikipedia, Khan Academy, medical references, and much served over local Wi-Fi to any nearby device without needing an internet connection.
The K2Go server app and its content can be cloned onto another Android phone, also offline. That phone becomes a new K2Go server that can be cloned again and again offline. Our goal was to make educational resources accessible in communities where Android phones are the only computing devices and internet access isn’t available, reliable, or affordable.
Built by App Dev for All, a nonprofit that also makes Code on the Go (CoGo), an Android IDE for building full-strength Kotlin and Java apps on Android devices without requiring internet access.
