ecto (Version 4)
for macOS 10.12 (Sierra) and macOS 10.13 (High Sierra)

ecto is coming to the Mac App Store!

We're migrating all of our Maac and iPhone apps to the Mac App Store, including ecto. Ecto has been completely overhauled to use modern macOS Sierra Cocoa APIs. We need to do some work on the plugins which talk to the various blogs. When we have the first few plugins polished up, ecto will be available on the Mac App Store.

ecto is a powerful and easy to use blog editor.

ecto: publish to almost any blog from your Mac

ecto is a feature-rich desktop blogging editor for MacOSX. With ecto, you can easily publish to a wide range of weblog systems, such as Blogger, Blojsom, Drupal, MovableType, Nucleus, SquareSpace, TypePad, WordPress, and more.

ecto should work with any blog which supports a standard remote editing API (such as the Atom, MetaWeblog, or MovableType APIs, and others). Most blogs (with the notable exception of MobleMe blogs) provide a remote editing API.

ecto is easy to use

ecto is designed to make blogging much easier and yet give the users as much power as possible to manage their weblogs.

With ecto you can write and manage entries for your weblog(s). You can compose entries offline and use the extra features ecto offers, such as spellcheck, creating links, attachments, and much more. ecto is a native Mac OS X application, and offers you a more powerful and easier to use editing interface than your blog's built in control panel.

ecto is the best way to blog!
