Your Ghost blog, in your pocket. Sign in with your Ghost account, open any post you've already written, and edit it beautifully — right there on your phone. EDIT ANY POST, PARAGRAPH BY PARAGRAPH Open any post and tap a paragraph, heading, quote or aside to change it, right where it already lives. PRESERVED EXACTLY AS GHOST SAVED IT Images, galleries, buttons, bookmarks and callouts are preserved exactly as Ghost saved them, so every edit stays precisely scoped to the paragraph you touched. A TRULY NATIVE EDITOR Formatting you can see as you type — bold, italic, headings, quotes, links and code. Select text and format it the way you expect on iPhone, with the toolbar where your thumb already is. POST ON THE GO Draft on the train, edit over coffee, publish before you're back at your desk. Save as a draft, schedule for later, or publish straight away. SIGN IN THE WAY YOU ALREADY DO Use the same email and password you already use for your Ghost site, and you're straight into your posts. Prefer an Admin API key? That works too. IMAGE UPLOADS Pick photos from your library and drop them into posts. They upload straight to your own Ghost server. SEE EVERYTHING AT A GLANCE Drafts, scheduled posts and published pieces in one list, with feature-image thumbnails, sorting and tag filters. PRIVATE BY DESIGN The app talks directly to your own Ghost site — your content goes straight to your server and nowhere else. Your site connections are end-to-end encrypted and sync only through your own iCloud, readable by no one but you, not even us. READY ON EVERY DEVICE Set your blog up once and it's there on your iPhone and iPad, and it survives reinstalling the app. WORKS WITH ANY GHOST SITE Self-hosted on your own server, on a VPS, or with a managed Ghost host. If it runs Ghost, this connects to it. HONEST ABOUT WHAT'S NEXT Paragraphs, headings, quotes and asides are fully editable today. Cards — images, galleries, bookmarks, callouts and buttons — display faithfully and are kept safe when you save, with editing on the way. Lists are next. Built by someone who writes on Ghost every day, for people who do the same.
