Own your words.
Own your site.
Selfish turns your writing into a fast, private website you publish straight to your own server — from your iPhone, iPad, or Mac. No platform. No lock-in. No one between you and your readers.
You don't own your blog. You're renting it.
Your words, your audience, your URLs — all sitting on someone else's platform, one policy change away from disappearing. Selfish gives it back.
Write. Generate. Publish.
Write
A clean native composer — write in plain text with light formatting, attach photos, and check a live preview that matches the finished page exactly.
Generate
A complete static website: every post rendered to fast, standalone HTML with a responsive theme, sitemap, and RSS feed.
Publish
Push to your own server over SFTP, to S3-compatible storage, or straight to Netlify, Cloudflare Pages or GitHub Pages. Selfish uploads your files and shows the progress — skipping anything that hasn't changed.
Static sites are quietly the best sites.
Just plain HTML that loads instantly, ranks well, survives traffic spikes, and costs almost nothing to host — anywhere you like.

Be selfish with
your data.
Most apps want your content in their cloud, your audience behind their login, and your habits in their analytics. Selfish wants none of it.
One app. As many sites as you run.
A personal blog, a project page, a photo journal, a client's site — manage them all from one place, each independent, each yours.
Built with Selfish.
Three example sites, made with Selfish, showing what it produces — Field Notes, homelab.log and The Margin, each on a different theme included with the app. Community submissions are reviewed by a human and listed in the directory.
Simple, honest pricing.
Buy it once, use it on your iPhone, iPad, and Mac. No subscription, no per-site fee, no upsell to "unlock publishing."
Selfish is on the App Store now. £3.99 is a one-time introductory price — it rises to £9.99 in December. One universal purchase covers iPhone, iPad and Mac. Regional pricing may vary.
- iPhone, iPad & Mac — one universal app
- Unlimited sites & posts
- SFTP, S3, Netlify, Cloudflare & GitHub Pages — 4 built-in themes
- Every future update included
/* Optional premium themes are separate one-time purchases — publishing is never paywalled. */
Your site is waiting. It just needs you to be a little selfish.
Out now for iPhone, iPad and Mac. £3.99 introductory price until December.
