MediumDesk is a simple app that lets you read and write Medium stories when you are at your desk.

MediumDesk extends medium.com’s experience to desktops. It is built by Medium enthusiasts with no intention to modify/replace any experience. I ❤︎ Medium as it is. But a desktop app can do a few little things that a web app can’t and it gives a permanent home for Medium in my desktop. That is what MediumDesk is for. Every new feature will be selected based on this question : “Would Medium do it, If they built a desktop app?”.

The first goal is to be able to use medium.com without any issues in it’s own window. So it is always accessible through your Applications folder, Dock / Task Bar, Search. To find your draft, you don’t have to dig through browser tabs anymore. Additionally MediumDesk comes with Native Menus & Shortcuts for commonly used functions (Cmd N / Ctrl N — New Story, Cmd F / Ctrl F — Search Medium, Cmd 0–7 / Ctrl 0–7 — Home, Drafts, Public Stories, Stats, Bookmarks, Publications, Profile, Settings.
