WordPress for Desktop created by Automattic is a Windows desktop app that lets you manage all your WordPress.com and Jetpack-enabled sites in one place. Now you can manage your websites, write and publish, and even customize your site and view stats from a dedicated app in your Windows Start Menu.

Use it for your sites on WordPress.com, as well as for self-hosted WordPress sites. (For the latter, you’ll just need to have the Jetpack plugin installed to connect your site. And just like the rest of WordPress.com, the new Windows app is simple, seamless, and blazingly fast. Create locally installed WordPress Websites today!

The My Sites dashboard for managing multiple sites, whether WordPress.com or self-hosted Word Press with Jetpack. The new WordPress.com Editor, with in-app previewing and draft auto-saving. The Reader, which lets you follow and read any of your favorite sites, and the all-new Discover, which recommends outstanding content from across all of WordPress. Insights and Stats, which show you exactly how your site and posts are performing. In-app notifications, so you can see comments, likes, and new followers all in one place.

WordPress for Windows app turns the administration area into a desktop-like environment in which you can open new windows with your website's internal pages.

Focus on your content
Write and design with no other browser tabs to distract you. Switch easily between managing your WP sites and your favorite desktop apps.

Speed is a feature
Word Press for PC Desktop builds upon the already fast WordPress.com by bundling the entire site as a local copy. You get near-instant page-loads and less waiting around.

Not one size fits all
The WordPress.com desktop app will scale to any size. Do you need a small window on the side to keep your eye on notifications, or do want to expand to a truly full screen for a zen writing experience? Take your pick.

Note: Requires WordPress Account.
