Publii is a desktop content management system for creating fast, secure static websites.
It offers a graphical interface similar to a traditional server-based CMS, removing the need to work directly with command-line static site generators.
The application runs locally, allowing users to create and edit websites offline before deploying the generated files to a web server or hosting platform. Publii is available for Linux, macOS and Windows.
This is free and open source software.
Key Features
- Create and manage static websites from a desktop application.
- Work on websites offline without running a local web server.
- Manage multiple websites from a single installation.
- Create posts, pages, tags, menus and author profiles.
- Write content using block-based and visual editors.
- Customise websites with installable themes and built-in theme options.

- Deploy websites using SFTP, GitHub Pages, Netlify, Amazon S3 and Google Cloud.
- Import content from WordPress websites.
