## What is Micro.blog?

Micro.blog is the fastest way to blog and a safe community for microbloggers. Micro.blog is the blog you will actually use.

Micro.blog shows recent posts from sites and people you are following. Microblog posts are short — quick thoughts, links to web sites, and replies to friends. It's a fast timeline that's powered by the open web.

Blogs hosted on Micro.blog include:

* Short microblog posts or full-length posts.
* Markdown for styling.
* Custom themes.
* Categories, photos, podcasts, video, and more.

Already have a blog? Use Micro.blog to follow friends and post to external blogs compatible with WordPress and the Micropub API.

Instead of trying to be a full social network, Micro.blog is a thin layer that glues the open web together, making it more useful. Micro.blog adds discovery and conversations on top of previously unconnected blog posts.

## Key features

- Short microblog posts
- Full-length posts

### 5/5 — Wow!  Changes!

*2025-12-06*

I’ve been a paid member for over a year now, and hadn’t really used it in a while. But I was invited to the TestFlight beta, so I got back in and it is alive and changing. With the new ‘Pages’ , ‘Photos’ tabs, a full website comes alive. It’s incredible. No longer just for firing off a word and forgetting about. A solid place to cultivate a following.

### 5/5 — The Swiss Army Knife of the indie web

*2025-04-10, version 3.4.5*

It may be disguised as a simple web hosting service combined with a social media feed, but Micro.blog has an incredible collection of useful features and mini-apps to make blogging and social media both seamless and fun. Email newsletters, notetaking, podcasting, syndicating across the fediverse and beyond, photo-bloggingand video blogging, bookshelves, bookmarking and archiving, (entirely optional) AI image captions and post summaries. It’s amazing that a tiny team can offer so much.

### 4/5 — Wonderful update!

*2023-05-19*

The latest 3.0 update has added a ton of improvements! This is exactly what the app needed.

### 5/5 — What Twitter and GoodReads should be

*2022-10-16, version 2.3*

Really like the service.

### 3/5 — Not clear or upfront information

*2022-02-26*

This app is a 10 day trial based on their hosting ($5/mo). After 10 days of creating a blog you will be cut off. I sent an email to customer service and they responded by giving me a additional week. Perhaps if you can find other free hosting it would be a great app.

### 4/5 — Solid client

*2020-03-30*

I like the vision behind this product, and it works well enough for my needs as an iOS client. The micro.blog service is a bit idiosyncratic, but I like that you own your own content.

**Developer response:** The latest version of Micro.blog for iOS now has post editing. Thanks!

### 5/5 — Very Nice！

*2020-02-25*

I am from China. I hope the app will work more fluently

### 1/5 — Useless

*2019-12-24*

Useless app can’t even sign up from the mobile

**Developer response:** If you're running iOS 13, you can now use Sign in with Apple to sign up directly in Micro.blog on iOS. We've also fixed a couple issues recently with Sign in with Apple, so it should work more smoothly. And there's a full interface on the web for managing your account. Thanks!

### 5/5 — Use this app every day...

*2019-05-04*

It’s great and evolving very well....

### 5/5 — A better way to post/tweet/blog

*2018-12-07, version 1.4*

Micro.blog allows you to connect with other people while still owning your own stuff. It’s great!
