MarsEdit 5.4.7

MarsEdit is a powerful, elegant blog editor built for the Mac. Browser-based editors can be slow and clumsy, and they only work when you're online. MarsEdit gives you a fast, focused writing environment that works anywhere, then publishes to your blog when you're ready.

MarsEdit works with WordPress, Micro.blog, Tumblr, TypePad, Movable Type, and any blog that supports the MetaWeblog or AtomPub interface.
