Built for GitHub Pages on macOS

A better way to write and publish your blog.

Thooval editor
Publishing live...

One click to GitHub Pages, zero friction from draft to production.

Own your files

Every post stays as plain Markdown on your Mac.

Own your site

Your published blog lives on GitHub Pages, not inside someone else's platform.

Keep the stack small

No Ruby setup, no build pipeline babysitting, no monthly hosting tool bill.

Why it exists

The gap is not writing. The gap is getting from draft to live post.

Typora, iA Writer, and Obsidian are great places to write. Jekyll, Ghost, and WordPress are ways to publish. The awkward part is having to stitch those worlds together every time you want to ship a post.

What the old workflow feels like

  1. 1. Write in one app.
  2. 2. Export or move files around.
  3. 3. Open a generator, terminal, or CMS.
  4. 4. Fix the part that broke this time.
  5. 5. Push and wait to see if the site updates.

What Thooval is trying to make normal

  • 1. Open the editor.
  • 2. Write the post.
  • 3. Click Publish.
  • 4. Go back to writing the next thing.
What you get

A focused toolchain for a very specific kind of blog.

Thooval is not trying to be a note-taking app, a visual website builder, or a giant publishing platform. It is a Mac app for people who want a straightforward GitHub Pages blog.

A

Typora-like writing feel

Live WYSIWYG Markdown so the writing experience feels clean, direct, and less like editing source code.

B

One-click GitHub Pages publish

Generate and push the site from the app instead of wiring together a separate terminal workflow.

C

Local-first file ownership

Your posts remain plain .md files in folders you control, which means no lock-in to a hosted database.

D

Built-in blog extras

Google Analytics and Giscus support are part of the product so you do not need a plugin maze for basics.
