Write and publish your blog.

Static turns your iPhone into a blog publishing studio. Write in Markdown, add photos, and the app generates your site and uploads it straight to your own web host over SFTP. No server-side software needed.

From idea to online in three steps

If you have a hosting plan, you have everything you need. Set up the SFTP upload once — then just write and publish.

  1. Step 1

    Write in Markdown

    A clean, distraction-free editor. Add photos from your library, write a one-line note or a long-form post — whatever the day calls for.

  2. Step 2

    Pages generated on-device

    Static builds fast, beautiful web pages right on your iPhone. No build server, no CI pipeline, no server-side app.

  3. Step 3

    Uploaded over SFTP

    The generated files go straight to your web host over an encrypted SFTP connection. Your blog is live at your own address.

Everything you need to run your blog

Static combines a Markdown editor, a static site generator and a secure SFTP client in one iPhone app.

Write in Markdown

Simple, clean, distraction-free writing. Headings, links, lists and photos — all in plain Markdown.

Photos and galleries

Pull images straight from your photo library. Static lays them out as single shots or grouped galleries.

Secure SFTP upload

Encrypted transfer to your host, with password or SSH private-key authentication. Test the connection before you commit to anything.

Custom themes

Pick from the built-in themes or bring your own, so the published pages look the way you want them to.

Everything stays on device

Posts, photos, and keys live on your iPhone. Nothing is stored on our servers, and the app collects no data about you.

Free to start

Create and edit posts as long as you want. Activate uploading with a one-time purchase or subscription when ready.

Frequently asked questions

Do I need my own web host?

Yes. Static uploads your blog to a server you choose — any typical web hosting plan with SFTP access works. There is no server-side application to install; a plain webserver is enough.

Is the app free?

Static is free to download, and you can create and edit posts on your iPhone as long as you want. A one-time purchase or subscription activates uploading to your website. Set up and test your SFTP connection before you buy.

How does publishing work?

As you add or edit posts, Static generates the web files right on your iPhone and uploads them to your web host over SFTP — securely, with password or private-key authentication.

What can I use it for?

Sharing photos, short microblogging updates and typical long-form blog posts — anything you want on your own site, written and published from your pocket.

Can I change how my blog looks?

Yes, though still in early stage. Static supports custom themes, so you can restyle your site without touching the publishing workflow.

Your blog, your server.
