If you love to use desktop tools that helps you in writing blogs and increase the productivity. And you would like to prefer desktop tools over online because you want to work without the internet. There is no need to say, whenever you work online there are so many things which distracts you from your work, and thus you may not be able complete your work on time. And if you write blogs online then you will open around 10 tabs for writing one blog, doing this will confused you and you may make mistakes in your blog. If you want to get rid of this situation, I suggest you to start using the software that can let you work offline. It can save your time and helps you in writing unique and informative content. I know it is hard to unplug internet, but if you do it once you will notice the increased productivity and above the all you will be able to do more work in less time.
Below I have mentioned the list of Blogging Apps for Mac, which I would like to suggest you for using at least once, to take an experience. And please note that: all of them don’t work offline.
Here you go:
Desk is a Mac app for writers and it offers various surprising features. Especially if you love the feature to save the draft into iCloud Drive and you can edit it from your iPhone or iPad. Desk integrates with the entire major blogging platform such as WordPress, BlogSpot, Tumblr, and Typepad to name a few. The desk is priced at $29 which seems to be on higher, but after using it for a while; I must say it’s a complete value for money. This is one of the best writing and blogging apps that I recommend to you and for any other bloggers who are using Mac OS.
If you are in search of an alternative to Windows live writer for Mac, you should go ahead and get this beast. Blogo needs some numerous change, after the changes has done then they launched Blogo again in Mac App Store with all the new features and it is getting great reviews. This is the app you’re goanna love if you are blogging on WordPress platform. Current version of Blogo only supports WordPress and Blog team promised to bring Tumblr and BlogSpot support soon.
With this, you can write offline and publish post directly from your desktop. Moreover, you can also add images, assign featured image and live preview your post before publishing.
Taking screenshot is a piece of our everyday blogging work, and we have to alter the picture and resize it before adding it to our blog entry. Snagit is a picture altering device that you should try at once. This is a complete Mac picture altering application that will deal with everything you need. This is a premium device, and you can download it for nothing for 30 days. When you begin utilizing Snag It App, you will be snared with it.
A good post is incomplete without a good image and before you can add images to your post you should do the lossless compression so that your images are reduced in the size. You will never get the complaints that your image’s pixels were not good or anything else. The lesser the size of an image faster your blog post will load. Imagine you are not optimizing your image and it is as big as 1 MB. Then definitely your blog will take more time to load, and I don’t think that people will be waiting for that much time to load. Especially when the world is moving to smartphones, and then according to my research your motive is to make your blog loads as fast as you can; by optimizing less size images but less size images doesn’t means poor pixel images they should be very clear.
ImageOptim is a free image compression tool for Mac. This lightweight app will help you to optimize all of your images type. All you need to do is, drag and drop the image on ImageOptim workspace and it will do the compression automatically. This is the free app, so that you can download it anytime.
Video blogging is now a standard part of blogging, and it is important for you to create videos for your blog. If you are doing a white board kind of video, you can use DSLR camera or even your Smartphone camera. But if you want to screencasts your video then you need a video app that will let you capture, edit and publish it. Camtasia is the best available video app for Mac, which every blogger and internet marketer should use. This is a paid tool but you can download its trial version for free that is valid for 30 days. This is must have Mac app for video bloggers.
Being a blogger, you must be having your own server where your site is facilitated on. Odds are you have to login to your FTP server on occasion for rolling out a few improvements. It's critical that you keep FTP software with you generally. There are different FTP apps for Mac, and I will recommend two of them.
Cyberduck and FileZilla; you can use any of these FTP tool and both works great. They are light in weight, and you can also save your FTP login within the tool for quick logins.
This is like an SEO toolkit for your Mac OS. This app scans all the links of your blog and shows you the broken links. The best part is that it works with any blogging platform. If you are on WordPress, you can always use broken link checker but if you have the huge site, broken link checker might freeze your hosting. It’s a free app and you can download it from the Mac App Store.
WordPress launched an official Mac app that works for WordPress.com blogs or self hosted WordPress blog using Jetpack plugin. WordPress for desktop will soon come for Windows and other OS. But you can download the Mac version from its official site.
That’s it, I am done. I have suggested you all the bets apps for blogging. If you are using any other blogging app on your Mac OS, and it works great then I would love to know about that. Please leave a comment for your suggestions and also for your queries.
