Selfish turns plain-text posts and photos into a complete static website — clean HTML, your theme's CSS, every image, a sitemap and feeds — and publishes it straight to a place you control. No backend. No accounts. No tracking. Just your words, on your server.
It's privacy-first and local-first by design. Your writing lives on your device and syncs across your iPhone, iPad and Mac through your own iCloud — never our servers, because we don't have any. Passwords, SSH keys and tokens are stored only in the Keychain, and photos lose their location before they're saved.
WRITE
• A clean composer with live formatting — bold, italic, links, headings, quotes, lists, code and footnotes
• Photos, video and audio placed anywhere in a post, side by side if you like, with crop, rotate and captions
• Notes without titles, scheduled posts, drafts you can share privately, and earlier versions of every post kept
• Share pages, words and photos to Selfish from any app, and keep your drafts in a widget
MAKE IT REAL
• One tap builds a full static site: posts, pages, home page, archives, search if you want it, a sitemap, RSS and JSON feeds, even a podcast feed
• Preview exactly what will publish, see what changed, and check the site for missing alt text and anything loaded from elsewhere
• Run as many separate sites as you like — multi-site is first-class
PUBLISH ANYWHERE YOU CONTROL
• SFTP to your own web server (password or SSH key, with trusted-host verification)
• Amazon S3 or any S3-compatible storage — Cloudflare R2, Backblaze B2, DigitalOcean Spaces, MinIO
• GitHub Pages — sign in with GitHub, pick the repository, and Pages is switched on for you
• Netlify, Cloudflare Pages, WebDAV (Nextcloud, Synology, Fastmail), or a folder in iCloud Drive or Dropbox
• Only what changed is sent, and what you take down comes down
MOVE IN, MOVE OUT
• Bring your site from WordPress, Ghost, Substack, Medium, Hugo, Jekyll, Eleventy, Obsidian or any blog's feed — and old links keep working
• Export everything, posts and photos, as Markdown any time — Hugo, Jekyll and Eleventy read it as it is
THEMES
Four free themes to start: Default, Modern, Classic, and Sky — a Bluesky-style social feed with a profile header, your own avatar and banner, and adaptive multi-image mosaics. Make any theme yours with an accent colour, a typeface, light or dark, and the width. Three premium themes unlock with a one-time purchase, usable across all your sites: Mono (monospace, terminal-adjacent), Editorial (magazine serif with drop caps and pull quotes), and Zine (bold, printed-zine energy). Nothing on the pages Selfish makes loads from anywhere else.
BUILT FOR ALL YOUR DEVICES
A single native app for iPhone, iPad and Mac. Your sites follow you across them via iCloud.
Selfish is for people who want to own their corner of the web — writers, makers, tinkerers — without renting it from a platform.
