VoodooPad 2.5 released

VoodooPad logoVoodooPad 2.5 has been unleashed, boasting some shiny new features. The most notable are major web exporting abilities, including style plugins and Automator actions. There's also a new "Drop Page" system service, allowing a user to append text to a page in a document from OS X's highly underrated Services menu.

If you aren't familiar with VoodooPad, it's "a new kind of notepad". It essentially adds the power of wiki-text and sketching to the basic, old 'n busted notepad/text editor app. A demo is available, while a full version costs $24.95. Upgrade pricing is available, as well as a free VoodooPad Lite version which we blogged a while back.

I have been using Voodoopad for note taking during lectures and while studying. It is a great way to keep information from my classes organized and searcable.

Mike: I use VoodooPad for a good number of things. Coding snippets, on the fly documentation and learning. My wife and I used it to track the million things surrounding our wedding. There are a lot of uses for it, I wouldn't dismiss it so quickly.

I like voodoopad; its easy to use and overall a great app. But after upgrading to the $25 version from the free voodoopad lite, I feel like I wasted my money. 99% of the time, the free version will do what you need, and I fully recommend it, but spending real people money probably isn't necessary.

I like VoodooPad and use it daily. The primary value for me is in the wiki approach and the htnl export. For making notes and documenting software projects, I naturally think in wki mode. If I'm typing something in VoodooPad about ProgramA and then think of an idea for ModuleC, I type ModuleC and jump to the existing page linked to by its wiki-style name. There is also a nice drawer with all links and categories for those times when I am thinking more globally. The advantages for me over a traditional web-based wiki are privacy, speed and ease-of-use. Plus for those pages I want to share, the html-export feature is there. Of course, not everyone thinks in a wiki-style, and there are many other chocies in the OSX world. --Jeff

I totally 100% do not see any merit in this app. Wikis are great and serve a good role, but having one on your local computer? Don't even slightly get it.

This is truly a great app. I highly recommend it for anybody considering it.
