The Ghost open-source software project today announced the beta release of a desktop app for Mac, Windows, and Linux. The tool allows people to update their Ghost blogs right from the desktop, so you no longer need to go to a website to do that.
Like the Ghost software itself, the desktop client is available under an open-source MIT license on GitHub.

Ghost is a simple alternative to the popular WordPress content management system (CMS) software, and indeed O’Nolan previously worked on WordPress. The project was first released in 2013.
