The VoodooPad alternative for your Mac
Pick up right where VoodooPad left off.
VoodooPad pioneered the personal desktop wiki on the Mac. MojoPad carries that idea forward on modern macOS — the same friction-free linking you loved, plus a living graph, search that understands meaning, and AI that runs entirely on your machine. And it imports your existing .vpdoc documents, losslessly.

Bring your whole VoodooPad with you
Switching from VoodooPad takes one menu item. MojoPad imports an entire .vpdoc — rich text with its images and diagrams, web archives (faithful snapshots or cleaned-up editable pages), PDFs, and bookmarks. Your links reconnect themselves by name the moment the pages exist, so nothing breaks on the way over.
There's even a Voodoo theme, light and dark, if you miss the old neighborhood.
Everything you loved, brought up to date
The wiki idea VoodooPad popularized, rebuilt for today's Mac — and then some.
Linking that just happens
Type a page name — or a WikiWord — and it becomes a live link everywhere. Select a phrase, press ⌘L, and the page exists. Your wiki assembles itself as you write.
The Graph
Something VoodooPad never had: your document as a living map. Pages are nodes, links are edges, and it scales to thousand-page wikis.
Search that understands
Results as you type, quotes and wildcards, plus semantic search that finds pages by meaning — even when no words match.
On-device AI
Ask your wiki — or a whole imported PDF or ePub — and get grounded, cited answers. It runs locally through Ollama; nothing leaves your Mac.
Real encryption
Lock a single page or a whole document with AES-256, with auto-relock when idle. Nothing readable touches disk.
Import & export anything
Beyond VoodooPad: import URLs, ePubs, and more; export to PDF, EPUB, HTML, Word, or publish a static site with RSS. Your data is never stuck.
Local-first, like VoodooPad always was
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. Your notes never leave your machine. Read the entire privacy policy — it fits on a postcard.
