Mac app

Minimalist CMS is becoming a native Mac app for people who care about writing, ownership, and an exceptionally fast public web. The app is in active development and will be shared soon.

Designed for the Mac

The experience uses familiar windows, menus, keyboard shortcuts, file pickers, macOS Keychain, native text editing, and a live WebKit preview. There is no browser admin to install, secure, or keep open in another tab.

Local first by design

Sites live in ordinary folders. Drafts and settings remain on your computer, publishing credentials stay outside public content, and the generated website can be hosted independently of the app.

Built in public, tested on real sites

The current development builds are already producing and publishing live websites through SFTP and GitHub. Real editing, sharing, search indexing, mobile layout, hosting, and Lighthouse results are shaping every release.
