Write in a focused Mac editor, keep your work organized, and publish to a website you control. Thooval is free and open source.

Your posts are .md files on your Mac. Open them in VS Code, Obsidian, or any editor. They're not locked to Thooval's format or database.
Your blog repo appears on your GitHub profile and contribution graph. Every published post is a commit. Employers and collaborators see your public writing history.
No WordPress updates, no plugin conflicts, no server patches. Static HTML on GitHub Pages requires zero ongoing maintenance. Write more, admin less.
Comments powered by GitHub Discussions. Your readers are likely already on GitHub. No spam bots, no tracking scripts, no Disqus account required.
Point your own domain at GitHub Pages with a CNAME record. Thooval generates the correct CNAME file automatically when you publish.
Thooval never sees your content. Drafts are local. Publishing sends files directly to GitHub via your Personal Access Token no Thooval server in between.
Thooval is a native macOS app that connects to your GitHub repo and publishes clean static HTML to GitHub Pages. Free hosting, zero maintenance, and no app subscription.
