Nib
Ghost has no official mobile app. Nib is a native Android editor that publishes straight to your own Ghost site — self-hosted or Ghost(Pro) — with no account of its own, no middleman and no tracking.
Get Nib on Google PlayFree to write and publish. Android 8.0 and later.
The timeline, the composer with post settings, and the statistics dashboard.
Every post is written to a local database before any upload is attempted, then synced in the background with automatic retries. Write on the underground; it publishes when you surface.
Nib connects with your own Ghost Admin API key, encrypted on the device with AES-256. There is no Nib account and no Nib server between your phone and your site.
If you wrote something in Ghost Admin that Nib cannot represent faithfully, a metadata-only edit withholds the body rather than flattening your headings, lists and cards.
Optional titles, excerpt, slug, canonical URL, visibility, feature image, pinning, images with alt text and captions, link previews, and hashtags that become Ghost tags.
An editorial timeline with search, filters and sorting, plus pages, tags, staff, members, newsletters and a statistics dashboard.
No advertising ID, no behavioural analytics, nothing about you sold or shared. Crash reporting is included and one switch in Settings turns it off for good.
Writing, editing, drafts, the offline queue, one connected blog, the timeline and the statistics are free and always will be. Nib Pro funds the work of keeping a small independent app current with Ghost and with Android.
Compose and publish, optional titles, images and link previews, drafts, the offline queue, one Ghost blog, search and filters, statistics.
Up to five isolated blogs, scheduled publishing, sending a post as a newsletter, members administration, static pages and full tag management. Monthly, yearly or a one-time lifetime purchase, with a 7-day trial on the subscriptions.
No. Ghost ships no official Android or iOS app, so writing from a phone otherwise means the admin panel in a mobile browser. Nib is a third-party native Android client that talks to your site through the official Ghost Admin API.
Yes. Self-hosted Ghost and Ghost(Pro) both work. You connect with an Admin API key you create yourself under Settings then Integrations on your own site.
From your phone to your Ghost site and nowhere else. There is no Nib account, no Nib server and no third party in the path.
One blog is free. Nib Pro raises that to five, each fully isolated with separate credentials and separate offline queues, so a post can never land on the wrong site.
Yes, on GitHub, under the PolyForm Noncommercial licence.
