MojoPad
Put your brain in it.
A personal desktop wiki for your Mac. Type the name of a page and it becomes a link — no folders, no filing, no friction. Notes, research, plans, and entire imported books, woven into one connected place that never leaves your machine.

Linking that just happens
Every page name becomes a live link wherever you type it. Select any phrase, press ⌘L, and a page exists. Your wiki assembles itself while you write.
The Graph
Your document as a living map — pages are nodes, links are edges, hubs grow. Click to preview without leaving the map. Scales to thousand-page wikis.
Search that understands
Results as you type, quotes and wildcards, plus semantic search that finds pages related by meaning — even when no words match.
Everything in, everything out
Drag in files, images, PDFs, ePubs, and web archives. Export to PDF, EPUB, HTML, Word, plain text — or publish a static site with RSS. Your data is never stuck.
Real encryption
Lock a single page or the whole document with AES-256. Auto-relock after idle. Nothing readable touches disk.
Daily notes & capture
⌘T opens today's note. A global hotkey grabs a thought from any app into your wiki without switching windows.
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.
Ask your wiki. Or your books.
MojoPad's AI runs entirely on your Mac through Ollama. Ask a question and get a grounded answer with clickable sources from your own pages. Import a 300-page PDF or ePub and question the whole book, or distill it into a saved summary — the index persists inside your document, so every later session starts warm.
No accounts. No API keys. No tokens. No page content ever leaves your machine.
Coming from VoodooPad?
One menu item imports your whole .vpdoc — rich text with its images and diagrams, web archives (faithful snapshots or cleaned-up editable pages), PDFs, and bookmarks. Links reconnect themselves by name the moment the pages exist.
There's even a Voodoo theme, light and dark, if you miss the old neighborhood.
Local-first, and we mean it
A MojoPad document is a folder of plain JSON and your original files, sitting wherever you put it — Dropbox, iCloud Drive, an external drive. No sync service, no subscription, no telemetry, no analytics. The app phones home for exactly one thing: a version check against a static file, and you can turn that off. Read the entire privacy policy — it fits on a postcard.
Try it free for 14 days
Full-featured trial — no signup, no email, no card. Then one payment and it's yours forever. No subscription. The AI runs on your Mac.
