Git Blog turns your iPhone or iPad into a powerful blogging tool — draft, edit, and publish markdown posts directly to your GitHub repository, all from one beautifully simple app. Whether you use Jekyll, Hugo, Astro, or any static site generator, Git Blog connects to your repo and lets you create content on the go. No laptop required. DRAFT WITH EASE Write posts using a block-based markdown editor that makes formatting effortless. Add headings, lists, quotes, code blocks, and more with a tap. Drag and drop blocks to reorder your content exactly the way you want. ADD IMAGES NATURALLY Snap a photo or choose from your library. Git Blog processes and uploads your images alongside your post.

Git Blog handles the commit, including all your images, in one clean push. BROWSE YOUR SITE Explore your repository's file structure right from the app. Open any existing markdown file, make edits, and republish. Your entire site is at your fingertips.
