MojoPad 1.81.0 Released (Bug Fixes) (User Requests) (New Features)

Ask anything, and mean it

  • The Anything scope reaches the web. A reader set up a search key, asked for today’s news, and was told MojoPad had no access to the internet and might try the BBC. The key was working. That sentence was ours: the scope’s own instructions opened “You are a helpful assistant running locally inside MojoPad” and told it to answer from its own knowledge — and that scope had never searched anything at all. It searches now, with whatever you have set up, or with free sources if you have set up none, and the answer arrives with the addresses it drew on listed underneath.
  • Where nothing can be found, it says so. A question about something current, with nothing to check it against, now gets “I cannot check that” rather than a confident guess.
  • Your own agent searches for itself. It is better at it, and it saves whatever your provider allows you.

Tools you have already set up

  • Bring them in rather than typing them again. Settings ▸ AI ▸ Tools ▸ Bring in ones you already have… reads what Claude Code and Claude Desktop have on this Mac and lists them to tick. Adding one is not the same as letting a wiki use it — that is still a separate yes, per wiki, and this does not touch it.
  • What cannot be added is shown anyway, with the reason on it. MojoPad’s own server is refused — its tools write to the wiki that is open — and one you already have says so instead of quietly going missing.
  • Each server can say what it is for. There is no way to ask a server what it does without first being allowed to ask it, so the line is yours to write; a first draft is filled in when one is brought across. It shows wherever you choose between servers.

Research that files itself

  • A Research folder appears the first time an answer lands, holding every run you have ever made. Nothing is moved into it, so a research page still lives wherever else you put it, and deleting the folder loses no pages. It is an ordinary smart folder — rename it, edit it, throw it away.

An agent that is working, and looks like it

  • A run is no longer cut off mid-thought. Your own agent can spend a while reading before it writes a word, and it says what it is doing at every step. Those steps were being thrown away, so a run that was plainly working was cancelled — under a message suggesting the model was too large for this Mac, about a model that does not run on this Mac. The steps now show while you wait, and a run that is working is left alone.
  • And the clock stops while MojoPad is waiting for YOU. The question about whether a wiki may send anything out is a window of its own; the timer had been running behind it, so an unanswered question came back as a model that had not responded.
  • Asked what it can do, it answers instead of guessing. With nothing connected it used to describe settings panels and configuration files that do not exist. It is told what it has, including when that is nothing.

Clipping

  • A page that stops a fetch at the door is recognised as such. The message written for exactly that case — open it in your browser and clip from there — was missed for want of the words a particular site uses, so those clips got the vaguest message instead.
  • A page that is an index says so. A home page of links is not a failed article: the clip now says what the page is, and that the pages it links to will clip in full.
  • A thin clip is told it can be taken again, whole. That offer lived where a thin clip could never reach it, so the case that lost the most was told the least.

Also

  • A tag, an alias, a custom link or a page property with a long name can be removed again — the ✕ was being pushed out of its row and clipped away, and for three of those four it is the only way to remove the thing.
  • A folder with a long name can still be opened as a gallery, and an AI edit can still be applied when the model’s name is long.
  • A long page name no longer widens a task board’s column, and the graph’s replay timeline stays over the graph.
  • Names shorten with dots at a word, rather than being cut through the middle of a letter, everywhere they are shortened.
  • A list of things to tick is a list, one per line.
