History

MarsEdit was originally developed by Brent Simmons[4] as a component of NetNewsWire, a popular news aggregator for Mac OS X, which, in the 1.0 series, included a simple weblog editor. During the development of NetNewsWire 2.0, the developers decided to move the blog editor functionality to a new application.[5][6] The resulting application, MarsEdit 1.0, was released on December 10, 2004.[4][7]

With the acquisition of NetNewsWire by NewsGator in 2005, the future of MarsEdit was uncertain for a time. On November 4 of 2005, it was revealed that MarsEdit development would be continued by Gus Mueller of Flying Meat.[8] In February 2007, MarsEdit was purchased by Red Sweater Software, and is developed by Red Sweater's owner, Daniel Jalkut.[9][10][11]

In 2010, an iOS version was planned,[57] but was not released.

In 2018, MarsEdit creator Daniel Jalkut co-formed a group called the "Developer Union" protesting Apple's developer policies.[58] He had previously complained about the Mac App Store taking away developers' control over their app sales.[59]

In 2019, MarsEdit joined the SetApp subscription package.[60]
