Blocs at a glance
Overall Score
Blocs, developed by Cindle, is a native, offline-first visual web design app built exclusively for macOS and iPadOS, structured around the Bootstrap 5 framework. Pages are assembled from "Blocs," pre-structured layout sections, filled with "Brics," micro-components like text blocks, forms, carousels, and video players, and a visual class editor lets you tweak CSS, add scroll animations, or inject raw HTML/PHP when needed.
A standout feature for WordPress work: Blocs Plus includes a native WordPress Theme Generator, letting you visually build custom WordPress themes and export them as valid, installable PHP theme packages, no manual PHP required.
Pros
- Sold as a one-time perpetual desktop license rather than a recurring monthly SaaS subscription
- Blocs Plus generates complete, standards-compliant WordPress themes visually without hand-writing PHP
- Exports clean, semantic HTML5, CSS/SASS, and JS that publishes to any standard web server or CDN, no vendor lock-in
- Runs fully offline on macOS and iPadOS with native support for Apple Silicon, Apple Pencil, and multi-touch trackpad workflows
- The Blocs Store extends the app with custom add-ons, extra components, and pre-built site templates from other developers
Cons
- Strictly Apple-exclusive, no Windows or Linux version at all
- Built specifically around Bootstrap 5, with no native support for utility-first frameworks like Tailwind CSS
- Desktop and iPad pricing work differently, the Mac version is a one-off purchase while the iPad app requires a separate ongoing subscription
- Only handles front-end code and WordPress themes, no server-side database, API endpoints, or user authentication management
Blocs is a genuinely refreshing option for Mac-based freelancers and agencies tired of paying a monthly fee just to design a website. The one-time purchase model alone sets it apart from most of this category, and the clean Bootstrap code it exports means you're never locked into staying on the platform to keep your site running. The native WordPress theme generator is also a real standout, letting you build a custom theme visually instead of hand-coding PHP templates.
