[[Termux|https://termux.com/]] 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|Installing TiddlyWiki on Node.js]] and [[run|Using TiddlyWiki on Node.js]] the [[Node.js flavour of TiddlyWiki|TiddlyWiki on Node.js]] 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|https://github.com/klausw/hackerskeyboard/]] application or a Bluetooth external device.
