Inkpress on Mac
Native desktop builds for macOS — install once, run offline, no browser tab or subscription required.
Setup on Mac
Download the installer
Download the latest Inkpress installer from the GitHub Releases page (https://github.com/bensblueprints/inkpress-mvp/releases) — or build it yourself from the MIT source.
Install
Run the installer — one click, no terminal, no account to create.
Run it locally
Inkpress runs 100% on your machine — no account, no telemetry, and it keeps working with the Wi-Fi off.
What works offline: everything. Inkpress is a desktop app — once it's installed, no feature needs a connection to us.
Inkpress on Mac — honest answers
Is it really free on GitHub?
Yes — MIT source at github.com/bensblueprints/inkpress-mvp, always. $79 buys the packaged Windows installer, 1-click setup and lifetime updates.
Can it do paid newsletters like Ghost or Substack?
No — and Ghost is genuinely strong there. Inkpress is a publishing engine: posts, tags, themes, RSS, SEO. If memberships and paid email subscriptions are the core of your business, Ghost's built-in monetization is worth its fee.
