RocketPost pioneers a segment: RocketPost is the first productivity app for blog editing, designed for serious bloggers and business users who post frequently to multiple blogs. Unlike low-end thin clients, RocketPost is a complete, standalone blog editor which puts you in control.
RocketPost takes a completely different technical approach from low-end clients, which are thin veneers for blog servers with limited features. RocketPost's fat client model is dramatically superior to the thin client, server-centric data model for efficient writing.
RocketPost imports all your blog posts upon setup. It treats the posts on your PC as the primary version of your data, which enables lots of unique productivity features to speed up your blogging. Created by a former Microsoft Word® designer, it supports all your favorite word processing features and shortcuts so you can write faster.
RocketPost is the most comfortable writing environment for bloggers. And it's a single unified command center for all your blogs and blogging systems. RocketPost puts the blogger first.
