VoodooPad app status

There is something about VoodooPad that keeps me coming back to it. Simplicity for one. But the app feels like it has missed a lot of the developments in both the notes app field as well as general updates to app development tools.

But I am not a developer.

And so I am wondering what the state of VoodooPad development is?

Coincidentally, I was looking for info about VoodooPad a while ago.

I don’t think it has been updated for many years - the app store shows 5.4 was the last update, released three years ago . I am not even sure it have been updated for Apple Silicon. The last post on Primate Labs site is from Jan 2022

As far as I can see it is abandonware.

EDIT: Just went back to their site - there was some response to a V6 beta here - but I cant see anything more on it

EDIT 2: Further delving into support posts reveals this link to a version 6.preview I seems to work in the trial mode.

Good find @Nick

VoodooPad stopped running on Tahoe, but the v6 beta you found installed perfectly and accepted my v5 license.

I gave up on VodooPad. The last update in 2022 5.4 was a cosmetic one, to circumvent a warning dialog flag from Apple.

The attitude of the developers does not encourage hope.

I used VoodooPad from the time it was a Beta from Gus Muller of Flying Meat. It’s on its third developer company now.

I’ve moved on.

I’m sorry v6 preview has been on the go for nearly 6 years. I loved Voodoopad, but once sold went downhill quickly and is basically abandonware. Its uniqueness back in the day is now available in nearly every notes app.

It’s an app that was great and could have been awesome were it not for shoddy ownership.

Thanks for all the responses, everyone. I decided to try Bear. It seems to offer the functionality I want.

I wish I’d seen this before upgrading to Tahoe this weekend! But for better or worse, VP5.4.0 is still working for me. Thank goodness, I have 18 years of work notes in this…
