PRSS is a desktop site creator: you write on your own machine, see the real page as you work, and publish a plain static site anywhere. Here is what comes with it.

Write the way you prefer

Five editors, and you can switch between them on the same page. The standard rich text editor stays deliberately plain, with a full-screen view for when you want nothing else on screen.

  • Blocks Editor — build a page from twenty-three block types, each with its own styling panel.
  • Visual Editor — edit the real built page, in your real theme, in place.
  • Markdown Editor — Markdown on the left, live preview on the right.
  • AI Editor — draft a whole post from a prompt, then refine it.
  • HTML — for when you want the markup.

Your own AI, on your terms

The free Companion addon connects PRSS to a model you control: Ollama, llama.cpp's llama-server, LM Studio or vLLM on your own machine, or a hosted OpenAI key.

Select text and right-click to rephrase, expand or shorten it. Batch Create writes a list of posts in one run. Autoblogger goes further, researching and publishing on a schedule across up to twenty sites.

Themes you can make your own

Official PRSS themes cover blogs, documentation, landing pages and showcases, and select Hugo themes work too. Add custom HTML, scripts and styles per page or per site, or fork a theme outright in the Theme Creator.

Fast, because it is local

There is no server round trip between you and your site. Builds are multi-threaded and incremental, so a preview is instant after the first one, and publishing does not rebuild what has not changed.

Publish anywhere, free

GitHub Pages, Netlify, Vercel and Firebase are built in, each putting your site on a global CDN. Prefer somewhere else? A publish script hands the built output to any host you like, and a custom domain is a CNAME file away.

Your data stays yours

No registration to start writing. Your sites live on your machine, so there is no admin panel on the public internet to be broken into. Back the database up to a private GitHub repository, then import it on another computer or share it with your team.

Forks take that further: branch a site's content, redesign it safely, and promote the branch when it is ready — or revert it if it was not.

Built for search engines

Sitemaps and meta tags are generated for every site, and you can override the meta tags per page when you need finer control.

Free, supported by a small ad

PRSS is free to download and use. A small ad in the editor helps pay for it; buy any premium editor and it goes away. Your published sites never carry ads, and we do not sell your data.

Questions, answered

Yes. The app is free to download and use, supported by a small ad in the editor. Buy any premium editor and the ads go away — and the sites you publish never carry ads either way.
Not to write or publish. Your sites live on your machine. An account is only needed for the Hub, where paid products live.
On your computer, in plain files you can read. You can back the database up to a private repository and import it on another machine, or share it with your team.
No. Blocks, Markdown and the visual editor all avoid markup entirely. An HTML editor is there when you want it.
Yes. Add a CNAME file with your domain, point the DNS at your host, and set the site URL. The guide walks through it.
Not if you run a model locally — PRSS includes a guided setup for that. A hosted endpoint is billed by whoever provides it.
