Your entire publishing desk,
in one workspace.
From breaking news to evergreen guides, PublishDesk unifies the whole editorial chain — sourcing, AI-assisted writing in your brand voice, complete SEO, and native WordPress publishing. Purpose-built for newsrooms. Trusted by every kind of WordPress publisher.
One controlled path — source to published post.
Every stage lives in the same workspace. AI accelerates the work; your editorial voice and standards stay in command at every step.
Bring the story
URL, paste, file, RSS feed, or an existing WordPress post.
Auto-extract
Article, media, links, and video pulled in and organized.
Write, assisted
Draft in your brand voice with headline variants — you approve every line.
Complete SEO
Live score, schema, alt text, and internal links as you edit.
Straight to WP
Schedule and publish to the exact site and category — natively.
One good article shouldn’t take six tools.
An RSS reader to find the story. A doc editor to draft. A separate assistant to rewrite. An SEO plugin. A media pipeline. A spreadsheet to track it. And finally wp-admin to publish.
WordPress runs 40%+ of the web — yet the modern content wave was built for headless stacks and treats it as an afterthought. Publishers are forced to trade speed for quality.
PublishDesk removes the trade-off — and keeps a human editor in command of every word.
The full editorial lifecycle.
Every capability ships in the product today — assisted creation, complete SEO, team review, and native WordPress control, with a human editor in command.
It sounds like your desk — because you set the rules.
A Style Card captures exactly how your publication writes: formality, sentence length, person, tense, house style guide, and banned or required words. Every assisted rewrite is governed by it — and you approve every line before it ships.
- ✓Tune tone in secondsCasual to formal, short to long, AP to Chicago — a live “Preview Voice” shows the effect instantly.
- ✓Ban the clichés, require the essentialsBlocklists and required terms keep off-brand phrasing out and your standards in.
- ✓One org, many voicesPer-brand and per-site Style Cards — ideal for agencies and multi-title publishers.
Cover breaking news, together, in real time.
No other publishing tool answers “we need to cover this live, together, now.” PublishDesk does — a real-time, multi-contributor command center for the moment a story breaks.
- ✓Timestamped update stackEditorial roles, a verification & confidence system, and a dedicated corrections lane.
- ✓Breaking alerts & source monitorsDeveloping stories are flagged the moment they surface across your feeds.
- ✓Reader-facing on-site bannerOne click converts a finished live story into a canonical published article.
WordPress-native, not WordPress-adjacent.
PublishDesk reads your real category, tag, and menu trees — then publishes, targets exact sub-categories, and manages posts you’ve already shipped, without ever opening wp-admin.
- ✓Multi-site publishingLive-synced trees, exact sub-category targeting, one or many sites at once.
- ✓Remote-manage published postsUpdate in place, move category, change status, or trash — all remotely.
- ✓Drift detectionFlags posts edited directly in WordPress — you choose pull or push, never a silent overwrite.
The PublishDesk Companion Plugin.
A free, feather-light WordPress plugin that unlocks the last mile. Basic publishing works over the standard REST API with nothing installed — the Companion adds the reader-facing magic and a hardened, secure handshake.
- ✓On-site breaking-news bannerA live, reader-facing banner for Live Story Mode — styled to match your theme.
- ✓Secure Application-Password handshakeEncrypted credentials and script/embed slots — no plugin sprawl, no wp-admin logins.
- ✓One-click install, always in syncInstall from the WordPress directory; categories, tags, and menus stay live-synced.
