I use this tool exclusively to author my Wordpress Blog content, it's clutter free, enabling me to focus on the content. It synchronises effortlessly with Wordpress and enables me to copy and paste images from the web without any horrible upload process.

Prior to using this tool I was using Mars Edit, but this app is more polished and a joy to use.

I'd almost go as to say its 'Perfect'.

What is Desk?

Desk is a premium writing experience for all types of writers, bloggers, thinkers, and doers. Whether you're a casual enthusiast, the weekend writer, blogger, or digital publishing professional, you'll find Desk to be a much-needed breath of fresh air. Designed to marry both function and form, it is the desktop publishing client that you've always wanted: Simple, intuitive, powerful, and fast. Fall in love (again) with writing via an app that helps you focus and concentrate on what matters most: Your thoughts as they coalesce into written form. Then publish them to your own digital property and WordPress blog (self-hosted, .com).

Focused Writing Experience

Focus on what matters the most and remove everything else. • Clean, simple, and a true distraction-free interface • Typewriter Mode for the serious focus and productivity • Themes and styles including font treatments, style, size, and column width • Use our streamlined WYSIWYG editor or Markdown. • Shortcuts for maximum speed (Formatting, Publishing, and more) • Assortment of writing modes and visual styles

Sync & Backup

Whether you're on the go or connected to a fiber line you'll be ready when inspiration strikes. • Save your work locally with powerful "Offline" mode • iCloud integration for maximum portability • Automatic backups (Autosave) while you write (iCloud and Offline)

Powerful Publishing and Content Management

Write, college, categorize, and tag your work! You can then publish your selected works to multiple WordPress blogs and edit existing posts with ease! • Access, edit, and update existing posts and drafts • Schedule posts for later publishing • Drag-and-drop images, add captions • Support for embedded media (YouTube, Vimeo and more coming soon) • Custom features for each publishing platform (e.g. Featured images, categories, tags, custom slugs/URLs, labels, and more) • "Quick Publishing" for even greater speed • Preview mode with real-time updating
