A simple CMS for writers, bloggers and independent publishers
Publii is a desktop CMS for people who want to write, organize and publish content without fighting code, plugins or platform rules. You can create posts locally on your computer, manage your website in a visual app and publish everything as a fast static site.
Whether you write essays, tutorials, documentation, long-form articles or a personal blog, Publii gives you a clean writing workflow and full control over how your content is structured and published.
Choose the editor that fits the way you think: Markdown for speed, WYSIWYG for familiar editing or the block editor for structured layouts.
You also get practical publishing tools built in: image optimization, SEO fields, post organization, authors, tags and writing stats such as word count, character count and estimated reading time.
Most importantly, your content stays yours. You are not locked into a rented platform, algorithmic feed or hosted writing service. Publii helps you build a website you can own, move and publish on your terms.
Below, you can compare the three editors and see which writing workflow fits you best.
Three writing editors for different publishing workflows.
Every writer works differently. Publii includes three post editors so you can choose the workflow that matches your content: structured blocks, familiar visual editing or fast Markdown writing.
Block editor
Use the block editor when you want to build structured articles with clear sections, media, embeds and reusable content patterns. Each content type is separated into its own block, making it easier to reorder ideas and keep long posts organized.

WYSIWYG Editor

Stats
Analyze Your Writing
WYSIWYG editor includes real-time stat tracking, letting you see helpful stats at a glance. Keep an eye on your unique word, sentence, and paragraph counts, and get an estimated reading time to help you find the sweet spot in your content length to keep your site visitors enthralled.
Media
Rich Media
Give life to your sections and stories with the rich media options included with our editors. Add image galleries and videos, get technical with the code highlighter, insert downloadable files and tables, and make use of the text highlighter to draw attention to important information.
Structure content
Organize Your Thoughts
Every post is a thought, and it shouldn't be confined to a simple category. Publii's Tags and Authors system allows you to organize your content through keywords; add as many as you want to each post, and users will be able to browse each keyword to find relevant sections to suit their mood.
Migration
Switching from WordPress? Migrate in minutes
You can create a blog from scratch, or switch your existing WordPress site without losing the audience you've built up; with Publii's built-in WP Importer, transferring your posts, pages and categories over takes just a few minutes.
