What Alexandria can do

Offline maps

Complete offline maps — all of Europe or the entire United States — with search for places, streets and points of interest: hospitals, pharmacies, police, supermarkets.

Offline library

The breadth of human knowledge — Wikipedia, literature, history, medical references, practical guides and more — all searchable, directly on the device or in the browser.

WiFi hotspot

Alexandria broadcasts its own WiFi network. Connect your phone, tablet or laptop and use Alexandria in the browser — no internet needed.

100% offline

Alexandria never needs an internet connection — it ships fully configured. Power on, done. Works in the mountains, forests, or during power outages.

Frequently asked questions

Does Alexandria have a built-in battery?
The computer itself does not have a built-in battery — it runs off USB-C power and any standard powerbank will work. The included keyboard, however, does have a built-in battery that needs to be charged occasionally.
Do I need a smartphone or laptop to use Alexandria?
No. Alexandria has its own touchscreen and keyboard. You can use it completely standalone. Optionally, other devices can connect via the built-in WiFi hotspot.
How many people can use Alexandria at the same time?
Up to 10 devices can connect simultaneously via the WiFi hotspot and use Alexandria in the browser.
Does Alexandria work worldwide?
Yes. Since everything is stored locally, Alexandria works anywhere in the world — as long as you have a power source. No roaming, no signal needed.
How fast does Alexandria start?
From cold boot to usable device takes about 30–60 seconds.
Is Alexandria waterproof?
No. Alexandria should be protected from water, moisture and heavy impacts — best stored in a protective case or dry bag.
Isn't this just a Raspberry Pi?
Yes — at its core, Alexandria is built on a Raspberry Pi 4. We've built our own application on top of it that reads Kiwix ZIM files and presents everything in a clean, browser-based interface — designed to be as easy to use as possible. We built this device because we wanted it for ourselves. Since nothing like it existed in a form that non-technical people could just buy and use out of the box, we built it. The Raspberry Pi is a great platform. What we've added is the software, the configuration, the screen, the keyboard, and the hours of work to make it a complete, ready-to-use product.
Is this the same content as on Kiwix?
Yes. The knowledge library on Alexandria is sourced from the same open content as the Kiwix app — Wikipedia, Project Gutenberg, iFixit, and more. The difference is that with Alexandria, you don't need to download anything, configure a server, or own a Raspberry Pi. You just plug it in and it works.
Can the content be upgraded?
Yes. When connected to the internet via ethernet cable, Alexandria can check for and install available content updates directly on the device or via the hotspot. As of right now, the knowledge library can be updated. We are working on a feature that will allow the maps to be updated as well.
Why is the 256 GB version only available in English?
The 256 GB version is designed for the English knowledge base — English-language content from Wikipedia, Gutenberg, iFixit, Appropedia and other sources is significantly larger than the German equivalent. All other combinations fit comfortably on 128 GB.
Are Alaska and Hawaii included in the USA maps?
Not yet. The current USA map covers the 48 contiguous states. Alaska and Hawaii will be added in a future update.
