WordPress for Mac is an advanced open-source content management system, content management framework, and blogging software that allows millions of users from all around the world to create, organize and manage their websites which can come in the forms of blogs, webshops, mailing lists, forums, membership websites, media galleries, and others.

Famous for its advanced online dashboard framework (compatible with countless plugins, template systems, and other expansions), accessible from inside any modern browser, developers from WordPress Foundation have also created a standalone application that can allow users of Mac desktop and MacBook to easily manage all aspects of their WP projects.

The application for the Mac serves the role of the powerful control panel that provides instant access to the full toolset and services found in the browser dashboard. Built for speed and intuitive access to your content, this standalone app can help you focus on design and content management without the possibility that other browser tabs will distract you elsewhere.

Any user of the online Word Press for macOS dashboard will feel at home when using this standalone Mac app, which re-uses all the UI and visual design choices of the online version, but is now powered by the enhanced speed that is powered by local caching of all service elements.
  • Customizable Designs
  • SEO Friendly
  • Responsive Mobile Sites
  • High Performance
  • Manage on the Go
  • High Security
  • Powerful Media Management
  • Easy and Accessible
To enhance your speed and effectiveness in managing all aspects of your websites, this app creates a local copy of your entire website, thus greatly increasing the speed of webpage rendering which promotes experimentation and allows managers and content creators to instantly see their additions visible in their final form before pushing it to live public servers.

As expected, the app supports all popular services for collaboration, including multi-user login and multi-blogging.

Since websites that are managed by WordPress Offline are viewed on a large array of internet-connected devices, the app can easily morph into any size you want, automatically scaling content for the display type of your choice – from large desktop areas to small mobile displays.

Extend WP with over 54,000 plugins to help your website meet your needs. Add an online store, galleries, mailing lists, forums, analytics, and much more!

WordPress CMS for Mac is 100% FREE and is optimized for all modern versions of macOS (10.9+). To use the app, you will need to create or log in using your free WordPress.com profile.
