ecto is a commercial weblog client for Mac OS X and Microsoft Windows. It allows one to compose and store blog entries on the local desktop computer, then upload them to a weblog host. ecto interacts with popular server software such as Blogger, Movable Type, and WordPress, among others. The developer believes the additional flexibility of the desktop operating system allows the client to incorporate features lacking in web-based clients.[1]

Critical reception

AppleMatters gave ecto 9 out of 10.[2] New Communications Review provided a more favorable review ("4 stars out of 5") praising its feature set and the detailed control it gives over formatting one's posts.[3]
