Kabikaboo is an open source simple tree-branch note organizer. It is designed to be used to help aid in the writing of a book or complex project.
With this software, users can plan out their story, plot, and characters. Kabikaboo aims to make the author’s life easier by providing a way to edit and organize a collection of related text files. The program can be used to plan a series of books, technical manuals, software projects, or anything that would benefit from tree-based text organization.
Kabikaboo is not meant to create a formatted document – you should use AbiWord, OpenOffice, LaTeX or some other editor for that purpose.
Features include:
- Very simple to use.
- Recursive viewing feature allows one to see any section of the tree.
- Offers an overview of all the children or grandchildren of any given node in the tree, for reference.
- Tabbed notebook allows users to keep track of the most recently opened nodes, easing movement within a large tree.
- Bookmarks which help you jump back to your favorite/important nodes.
- Spellcheck: automatic spellcheck engine utilizing Enchant.
- Visits: three different automatic lists of visited nodes.
- Export: any node, recursively or not, to text or html, for printing.
- Import: your big text files and auto-split them into nodes.
- Statistics: word count with real time updates.
