![]() ![]() My answer on both counts is an almost unqualified yes. If you’re already using MarsEdit 3, is the upgrade worth the $/€/£ 25 or so for version 4? Or, if you’re not using MarsEdit yet, should you buy version 4 now for $49.95? That was finally released earlier this week, and quickly updated to 4.0.1 with a few late fixes. When Sierra first came out, refreshing over a thousand local articles from the WordPress server brought my iMac to its knees for periods of several minutes, the task was so daunting.įor the last seven years or so, Red Sweater, the developers of MarsEdit, have been working on version 4. I tried to keep my entire blog within it, but after I had around 1500 articles posted and active, it slowed unpleasantly, spinning the beachball quite frequently. It felt sluggish at times, particularly if you kept a lot of your articles in its database. It kept much of your blog locally, so that you could work entirely offline most of the time, organised articles very efficiently, and provided most of the writing tools you were likely to need. MarsEdit 3 was that app, and stood head and shoulders above anything else available for the Mac. Once the content which you post includes plenty of images, and you need to refer back to previous articles, you really need a proper app for the purpose. But most of us are quite fussy, and the older you get and the longer you maintain your blog, the more fastidious you get. If you blog infrequently and post largely text content, spending money on an app like MarsEdit may not appear wise.
