MojoPad

Page Links Everywhere

Pages don't have to be reachable only from inside MojoPad.

Edit a link in place

Right-click any link — a page link or a web link — and choose Edit Link… to change its text and destination without unlinking and starting over. (Clicking a link always navigates; the right-click menu is the editing door.) The same menu offers Open in New Tab / Open in Split View for page links, Copy URL for web links, and Remove Link, which keeps the text. Editing an automatically-created link makes it yours — MojoPad's auto-linking won't rewrite it afterwards. Web destinations may be web, mail, or MojoPad addresses; anything else is refused, so a link can never smuggle in something that runs.

Copy Link to Page

Edit ▸ Copy Link to Page (⌃⇧⌘C) puts a mojopad:// link to the current page on the clipboard. Paste it into Mail, Things, Calendar, a Terminal script, anywhere — clicking it opens MojoPad, opens the right document, and lands on the page. Paste one into another MojoPad document and it auto-links there too: cross-document links.

The Web Clipper

Clip the page you're reading straight into MojoPad. Two ways:

  • Clip to MojoPad (Chrome extension) — the easy one. Install it from the Chrome Web Store and click its toolbar button on any page. Because it captures the fully-rendered page from your own tab, it works where a plain fetch can't — JavaScript-built articles and pages behind a login or cookie wall come through as the real content. Images are embedded, and the clip travels to MojoPad over a private local channel (nothing goes to a server). MojoPad just needs to be running. You'll be asked, as always, whether to keep the page clean & editable or as an original snapshot.
  • The bookmarklet — no install, and it works in Safari too. In Settings ▸ Web Clipper you'll find a snippet of JavaScript; make a new bookmark and paste it as the bookmark's address. Clicking it sends the current page to MojoPad — the selection if you've made one (with a link back to the source), the whole article if not.

Save PDF to MojoPad

Every print dialog on your Mac gains a Save PDF to MojoPad entry (in the PDF pop-up menu, bottom-left). Receipts, confirmations, articles — straight into the frontmost document as a viewable PDF page.

Automation links: capture from anywhere

Two more mojopad:// links turn any launcher — Raycast, Alfred, Shortcuts, even the terminal — into a capture tool:

  • mojopad://today?text=Call%20the%20plumber — appends the text as a new line at the bottom of today’s daily note (creating it if needed).
  • mojopad://new-page?name=Meeting%20notes&text=First%20line — creates a page (with optional starting text) and opens it.

Try it in Terminal: open "mojopad://today?text=hello". Text arrives as plain text, exactly as written — remember to URL-encode spaces and punctuation. Both act on the document window you used last, and need a document open.
