Blog

iA Writer for Mac allows you to share drafts directly from the app to various blogging platforms.

We currently provide this option for WordPress, Ghost, Micro.blog, and Micropub, and for Medium accounts you added before Medium stopped issuing API tokens.

Add Accounts

Medium

Medium no longer issues new integration tokens for its API (Medium Help Center), so you can’t add a new Medium account to iA Writer.

If you already added a Medium account with a token, it keeps working. You’ll find it in Settings → Publishing.

WordPress

iA Writer supports a variety of WordPress setups:

1. Publish to WordPress.com, and to WordPress sites with Jetpack plugin
2. Publish directly to WordPress sites with WordPress 5.6 or later.

To add a WordPress account, follow the authorization flow in: Settings → Publishing → Add Account → WordPress

Ghost

1. Add a new custom integration in Ghost Settings → Integrations
2. Add the custom integration Admin API Key and API URL using: Settings → Publishing → Add Account → Ghost

Micro.blog

Enter your account email in: Settings → Publishing → Add Account → Micro.blog, then open the sign-in link sent to you by Micro.blog.

Micropub

Enter your website URL, then follow authorization flow, or enter access token manually in: Settings → Publishing → Add Account → Micropub

Publish Posts

Once you have added your blogging account(s) to iA Writer, you can start publishing your drafts directly from our app. In the settings, the Options… let you choose whether drafts for the selected account are posted in HTML or Markdown.

You will see the Publish option appearing now under Export (if you do not see it, set up your account again).

You can publish in two ways:

• File → Publish → New Draft on…
• From the Library, right-click on your file → Publish → New Draft on…

iA Writer will create a new draft and open it in your browser every time you share a blog post.
