Where to Download or Buy VoodooPad and What macOS Version It Requires

Updated

VoodooPad is available directly from voodoopad.com: the site's navigation has a Download link and a Buy Now link. The current version listed on the site is 5.4.0, and it requires macOS 10.12 or later. Purchases are handled through Paddle, the payment platform named on the site.

Getting VoodooPad

The homepage navigation lists both options side by side:

What you need Where to go on voodoopad.com
Try or install the app Download
Purchase a license Buy Now (payment via Paddle)

The site does not state on the homepage whether the download is a trial, a full version, or how licensing works after purchase, so check the Download and Buy Now pages themselves before you commit. If you have already bought VoodooPad and lost your license details, the site's footer links to a Lost License page.

System requirement

Version 5.4.0 requires macOS 10.12 or later. If your Mac runs an older version of macOS, this release will not run on it. The site does not list a separate requirement for iOS, but it does mention a VoodooPad for iOS app for accessing documents on iPhone or iPad.

What you get once it's installed

VoodooPad is a note-taking app built around wiki-style linking. According to the site, you can drag folders, PDFs, applications, or URLs into a document and they link up "just like on the web," and search is described as powerful enough that "nothing will be lost or out of reach." The main uses the site highlights:

  • Organize — receipts, coupons, travel documents, and lists, with links to stores, hotels, and other businesses.
  • Research — wiki links, collections, tags, aliases, and search for articles and class notes.
  • Share — export to PDF, ePub, or HTML; collaborate via a shared Dropbox folder; use the iOS app; or share over a local network with the built-in web server.
  • Encrypt — encrypt single pages or an entire document, which the site suggests for passwords, usernames, and account details.

Practical checks before you download

  1. Confirm your Mac is on macOS 10.12 or later (Apple menu → About This Mac).
  2. Use the Download link on voodoopad.com rather than a third-party mirror, so you get the current 5.4.0 build.
  3. If you plan to buy, expect checkout through Paddle; keep the receipt, since the site provides a Lost License route if you misplace your details.
  4. Decide whether you need the iOS app as well — the site presents it as the way to access documents on iPhone or iPad, but does not describe its pricing or requirements on the homepage.
