Everything MojoPad does
The whole toolkit, in one place — and all of it running on your Mac, with your notes staying in plain files you own. New here? Start with the short version.
It links itself
Every page name becomes a live link wherever you type it. Select any phrase, press ⌘L, and a page exists. A connected web of pages assembles itself while you write — no folders, no filing.
Search that understands
Results as you type, quotes and wildcards, plus semantic search that finds pages related by meaning — even when no words match.
Nothing is ever stuck
Export to PDF, EPUB, HTML, Word, or plain text — or publish a static site with RSS. A document is plain files you can read without MojoPad at all.
Real encryption
Lock a single page or the whole document with AES-256. Auto-relock after idle. Nothing readable touches disk.
Safety nets everywhere
Automatic backups, per-page version history, a trash that waits 30 days, and an Undo toast when you delete. Relax — it's recoverable.
See your knowledge as a graph
Every page is a node and every link an edge — your thinking space becomes a living map you can explore and rearrange, not just a list of files.
Bring the outside world in — losslessly
Reading and watching is half of thinking. MojoPad pulls the good stuff in and leaves the noise behind — then it's yours to link, tag, search, and question.
Clip the web, whole
Save an article and get the article — real tables, figures, full-resolution images, the byline — not the ad-wreckage around it. From inside MojoPad, or with the Clip to MojoPad button in Chrome.
Your wiki, out on the web
Turn it on and the pages you already have light up as you browse — a page name mentioned in an article becomes a door back into your own notes, with related pages offered by meaning. Off by default, and it never sends a page anywhere.
Talk to your videos
Drop in a YouTube, Vimeo, or TED link and pull a searchable, timestamped transcript onto the page. Every timestamp jumps back to the moment — and your on-device AI can read it too.
Drag anything in
Files, images, PDFs, and whole ePub books land as pages. Import a 300-page book and it becomes part of your thinking — linkable, searchable, and answerable.
Fold, focus, structure — the Outliner
Any rich-text page becomes a real outliner the moment you want one. Collapse a branch to see the shape, dive into one part of a long document, and give a bullet room to breathe — all from the keyboard, all in the page you're already writing.
Fold anything
Collapse any bullet or heading to tuck its children away and read the shape of a long page at a glance. Open it back up and you're exactly where you left off.
Focus a single branch
Focus In (⌘.) fills the view with one item and everything under it — nothing else — so you can work a section without the rest of the document in the way. Focus Out steps back up.
Room beneath the bullet
Give a row a multi-paragraph note that belongs to the row itself, not its children — and folds away with it. New rows as a child, a sibling, or above arrive in one keystroke you bind yourself.
Your pages, as a table — Views
Give a set of pages a shape. A view is a live, saved lens over your wiki — filtered, sorted, grouped, with the columns you care about — and it is still your ordinary pages underneath, not a separate database you have to feed.
Filter, sort, group
Ask for exactly the pages you want — everything tagged book, everything edited this week, everything still unfinished — in the order that makes sense to you.
Columns that compute
Write a small formula and the column fills itself in: days since you touched a page, a total, a score of your own devising. It updates as your pages do.
One view, three faces
The same view drawn as a table, as a board with lanes you can drag between, or as a wall of cards. Switch whenever the work changes shape.
Views live inside pages
Drop a view into a note and it stays live — a reading list on your reading page, open questions on a project page, always current.
A door on every folder
Open any folder — or the whole wiki — as a wall of cards you can read at a glance, then open the one you meant. The same pages, seen from further back.
Diagrams & math, right in the page
Some thoughts are a picture or an equation. Write them in plain text and MojoPad renders them live — no plugins, no accounts, nothing phoning home. They travel with your pages and land, razor-sharp, in every export.
Diagrams from text
Type a flowchart, sequence, or mind map as a few lines of Mermaid and watch it become a diagram. Click to edit, start from a gallery of shapes, or let your on-device AI draft one from a plain-English prompt.
Real math
Inline and displayed math, typeset beautifully as you write — from a quick fraction to a full multi-line equation. Labels on your diagrams can carry math too.
Publication-grade figures
Drop in TikZ and MojoPad compiles it to a crisp vector figure. Diagrams, math, and figures all embed as inline vector art in your PDF, HTML, and Markdown — nothing rasterized, nothing lost.
Think in space — the Canvas
Some ideas don't want to be a list. Open a canvas and your pages become movable cards you arrange, connect, and edit right where they sit — a spatial board that's still made of real, linked pages.
Arrange, don't file
Spread pages across the board, drop a sticky for a loose thought, and edit any card in place without opening it. The layout is the thinking.
Arrows that become real
Sketch an arrow between two cards to think out loud. When it turns out true, one click makes it real — and it shows up in your graph from then on.
Kanban on the board
Drop a kanban board onto a canvas and drag cards from To Do to Done — a task pipeline in the same space as the notes it's about, no second app.
Present it, as it is
Any page or board becomes slides on the spot — your headings are the slide breaks. Talk from the notes you already wrote instead of rebuilding them in a deck.
It thinks with you — all on your Mac
MojoPad's AI runs entirely on your machine through Ollama. Ask a question and get a grounded answer with clickable sources from your own pages — or question a whole imported book. Synthesize a brand-new note that weaves several pages together, every claim traced to its source. Bring in a Persona — a devil's advocate, a plain-English explainer — to push on your thinking. Select any word and Explain it in context.
No accounts. No API keys. No tokens. No page content ever leaves your machine.
Follow a thought down the rabbit hole — the Playground
Open a Playground, name a topic, and your on-device AI deals you knowledge cards — short, rich, written answers — one leading to the next, as far as your curiosity runs. A whole way of thinking out loud with a machine that never phones home.
Grow, card by card
Press Grow on any card and it deals another from it. Ask a follow-up from a card's foot, or click a bold keyword to grow a card about exactly that — the exploration branches like a real train of thought.
A board you can read
Trails colour-code themselves so each line of inquiry is distinct, the freshly-grown frontier glows, and the view pans to each new card without ever changing your zoom. You never lose your place.
It illustrates itself
Turn on photos and cards pull openly-licensed images — chosen for real relevance, each with attribution. And it's a Canvas underneath, so it saves, searches, and grows like any page.
Read a whole book with AI
Drop an imported ePub or PDF onto a canvas and MojoPad reads the entire thing on your Mac — then helps you make sense of it. Not the blurb; the book.
Summarize & unpack
A faithful overview of the whole book, or a set of cards mapping its parts, chapters, and the shape of its argument — so you can see it before you read it.
Claims, with receipts
Pull the book's key claims, each with a deep-link back to the exact passage where it's argued. Check the receipt in one click.
Ask the book
Ask anything and the answer comes grounded in the book, with links back into the reader — and MojoPad can tell you what the book genuinely adds to notes you've already written.
And it reads back to you
Any page, web clip, PDF, or book can be read aloud — on your Mac, with the sentence and word you're hearing highlighted as it goes. Follow along, or just listen.
It follows along
Press ⌥⌘R and the spoken line lights up in place, the page scrolling to keep it centered — in your notes, web captures, PDFs, ePub books, even canvas cards. Start from your cursor to skip the front matter.
MojoPad Voice
Use any of your Mac's system voices — or MojoPad Voice, a warm neural voice that runs entirely on-device. It downloads once, with your OK, then nothing you read aloud ever leaves the machine.
At your pace
A reading bar gives you play/pause, your place in the text, and speed from 0.8× to 2× — change it on the fly and it takes effect from the next sentence.
Or let the board walk you through itself
On any Canvas or Playground, press ▶ and MojoPad gives you a guided tour — gliding the camera from card to card along your connections and reading each one aloud, in the order the ideas actually flow. Lean back and let a train of thought present itself; pause and resume anytime, and it holds your place. It's your board, your local AI's writing, and your Mac's voice — narrating the whole thing back to you.
Bring your own AI agent
MojoPad speaks to the AI assistant you already use. Point it at your wiki and ask it to build, read, or search — all of it happening on your Mac, through a bridge you switch on yourself.
One click and you're connected
Add MojoPad to Claude, Claude Code, Cowork, or Dispatch from Settings — nothing to install, nothing to run yourself. Any other agent gets a config to copy.
Build a wiki from a folder
Hand an agent a folder and get a wiki: documents become editable pages, images are embedded, and PDFs and EPUBs arrive as attachments you can open and read.
Ask the wiki you have open
With the live bridge on, an agent can question your open wiki and answer from your own pages, with sources — searching by meaning, not just by keyword.
You hold the keys
Both switches are off until you turn them on, the connection is guarded by a private token, and it never leaves this computer. Nothing about your wikis goes anywhere.
Born inside your wiki — Tasks
The things you have to do live beside the notes about why they matter. Capture from anywhere, file it against the project it belongs to, and let the work arrive already thought through.
Empty your head
⇧⌘７ from any app drops a thought straight into your Inbox, with the page you were on attached. File it later; get back to what you were doing now.
Tasks that arrive prepared
Ask your Mac's own AI to break a task down, and it comes back with the steps and the pages it touches already gathered — so starting isn't the hard part.
List, Board, Calendar
One set of tasks, three ways to look at them — grouped by day, moved across lanes, or laid out on the week ahead. Projects, areas, and tags keep it yours.
Reminders that arrive
Real notifications at the moment you asked for, repeats that come back on their own, and the ones you missed while away waiting for you rather than lost.
Your days, one page — the Journal
Every day you've written on flows together, newest first. Write into today; glance up at yesterday. Each day is a full page that links, tags, and exports like any other.
Write into today
⌘T drops you into today's note at the top of the stream. Keep scrolling to walk back through your week without opening a single page.
Jump to any day
A calendar opens beside the writing column — every day with notes is dotted. And "on this day" shows what you wrote a month or a year ago.
Nothing falls through
Unfinished to-dos carry forward to today on their own, so an open loop from Tuesday is still in front of you on Friday.
It helps you remember
Notes you never revisit quietly fade. MojoPad fights that two ways — deliberately, and in the background — and, like everything else, entirely on your Mac.
Flashcards that live in your pages
Turn any sentence into a card in a keystroke — it stays right inside the page it came from. Your local AI can draft a set of cards from a page, and check your typed answer on meaning, not an exact match.
Scheduled to stick
Cards come back on FSRS — the modern spaced-repetition algorithm behind today's Anki — showing each one just before you'd forget it. A few minutes when the chip appears is the whole habit.
Rediscover & the Undertow
In the background, MojoPad threads you back to forgotten notes worth seeing again — surfaced by how faded they are and how close they sit to what you're writing now.
A workspace that gets out of your way
Simple on the surface, with the power a keystroke away. Click any shot to see it full size.
Palettes
The side panel opens to a calm Context view of the page you're on — its connections, the notes your AI finds related, and its details. Backlinks, tags, properties and more are a tab, or a keystroke, away.
Page map
A live map of the current page's headings — click any one to jump straight there, and drag the panel's edge to the width you like.
Tabs
Keep several pages open at once and flip between them — handy when you're weaving an idea across your pages without losing your place.
Try the whole of it
Fourteen days, everything unlocked, nothing to sign up for. Your notes stay on your Mac in plain files you can read without us.
