Write professional-grade HTML. Publish to WordPress.
Visual HTML editing. Beautiful results.
Open and edit any HTML file. Work directly with your fully CSS-styled content, exactly as readers will see it on the Web, while producing minimal, streamlined, standards-compliant <html> that a perfectionist can be proud of. TypeMetal‘s unique editing engine balances direct, “WYSIWYG” authoring with devotion to producing clean, simple, professional-grade results. “Write in one view, preview in another” has become a relic of the past.
Your WordPress content, on your Mac.
TypeMetal provides a complete, Mac-native authoring experience for your connected WordPress sites. Search, review, write, and edit your fully styled post and page content, using WordPress’ latest “block mode” content capabilities. Work offline, then sync drafts and published work to your sites with ease.
Get in The Zone.
Sometimes, even an HTML expert just wants to write. TypeMetal makes writing concise, professional-grade markup fast and efficient, with easily mastered keystrokes that keep your fingertips on the keyboard and your mind on your ideas, not on the minutiae of markup or the details of the app you’re using. TypeMetal’s unobtrusive UI helps you focus on what matters most: what you have to say.
Write with polish.
Tell TypeMetal how you want your HTML. Then forget about tabs, line breaks, and angle brackets. TypeMetal formats saved HTML files with beautiful consistency, freeing you to focus on your writing, and supporting consistent diffing in version-tracking systems such as Git.
Cultivate clarity.
Toggle TypeMetal’s WordPress editor into “Clear View” mode anytime, to switch to a clutter-free editing theme that helps you concentrate on your writing. No sidebars, no navigation widgets, no theme images. Just you and your content. Adjust text magnification for comfortable viewing. Work in Dark Mode when the mood hits you.
Grasp the unseen.
TypeMetal’s “Show Block Structure Mode” illuminates your document’s block-level structure, and enables you to select and manipulate otherwise invisible elements.
Write semantically.
Give your markup meaning. Define your own styling vocabulary, and structure your writing to be flexibly, beautifully, and consistently styled using CSS. TypeMetal’s “snippet sets” help you codify your styling vocabulary and consistently apply your chosen styling. Leverage HTML’s full potential for meaningful markup, with greater ease than ever before.
Cultivate your own unique style. Then make it all the rage.
TypeMetal’s “snippet sets” help you formalize your HTML styling conventions — from the “class” and “id” names that trigger your CSS magic, to arbitrary common HTML constructs. What’s more, you can share your snippet sets with others, in a simple, documented file format, to help your team maintain common conventions. Collaborative website development just got easier.
Write in style.
Style your HTML files consistently — using your own CSS files, or one of TypeMetal’s bundled style sheets. Switch style sheets and see the same content in new ways.
Collect and clean.
The Web is full of overwrought HTML. TypeMetal’s smart cleanup helps you distill it to the essentials — automatically, as you paste or drag-and-drop. TypeMetal’s “Source Loupe” and “Show Block Structure Mode” help you inspect and further refine the results, yielding markup that exactly fits your working conventions.
Reference with ease.
TypeMetal remembers URLs you’ve recently copied to the pasteboard. When you create a link, they’re just a few quick keystrokes away.
Validate at a glance.
TypeMetal validates every HTML file you open, and repairs serious problems as it loads a page. Green light? You’re good to go! Yellow light? TypeMetal leads you to problem locations so you can fix each issue, then it re-validates as you edit. It also guides your use of HTML elements and snippets as you write, to avoid creating invalid markup in the first place.

Praise for TypeMetal
★★★★½ “TypeMetal is another very impressive content creation app. What sets it apart is how it enables EASY creation of “concise, professional-grade” HTML. The HTML editing engine is brilliant. Although it’s a v1 application, the level of OS X polish is simply splendid. I enjoyed the DEMO so much, I quickly parted with $30. This app is immediately useful, but also has an amazing future.”
– MacUpdate User Review
★★★★★ “If this isn’t in your toolkit then you’re missing out! … [W]hat excites me the most about TypeMetal is the dedication, passion and future plans the company have for it.

★★★★ “TypeMetal is objectively superior to Dreamweaver’s Design view in every imaginable way.”
— Customer Review, Mac App Store (U.S.)
★★★★★ “One of the best (HTML5) Writing Apps on the Store!
TypeMetal is quite a strong contender for writing apps such as Word Processors, Markdown and Rich Text apps in terms of capabilities, as it features a large arsenal of HTML elements to use freely in a WYSIWYG!! interface. … [A]ll styling is managed automatically via CSS, while the user can quickly insert sections and paragraphs. This boosts users’ writing efficiency, while keeping the experience pleasant.
…
The app deserves a five star rating not only for the excellent functionality, but also the excellent support provided by the developer.”
