A DBA of Eleista LLC
A small software studio building apps for authors. They run on your computer, you buy them once, and they solve real problems from our own publishing work.
Gleamworthy is the software division of Eleista LLC. It designs, develops, publishes, and supports desktop applications for macOS and Windows. Apps released by Gleamworthy are distributed by Eleista LLC, which is the seller and developer of record on the App Store.
Our software grows out of real work. Running Eleista Publishing means juggling manuscripts, launches, websites, marketing, and print, so each of our apps starts as a fix for a problem we had ourselves. Some are built with Apple's native frameworks; our largest, WordForge, runs on both Mac and Windows.
You buy an app once and keep it. Simple tools get simple prices: Synopsy is $5, not $19.99 a month.
Real desktop apps, not websites. Your work lives on your machine, and the apps keep working offline.
We keep things as simple as they can be, from the apps to our websites, which are all fast, static sites.
We publish books too, so we build the tools we wish we had for writing, publishing, and marketing.
A writing app for fiction authors
WordForge is our flagship app and the result of two years of work. It brings series planning, worldbuilding, characters, outlining, drafting, revision, and manuscript export into one desktop app. It's not a website or a subscription: it runs on your computer, your work stays yours, and you buy it once.
Google Analytics 4 in your Mac menu bar
Synopsy is a native macOS menu bar app that shows visitors and page views for every Google Analytics 4 website you own. Every site gets its own card with totals, growth, and an honest chart, and one click switches all of them between 7, 30, and 90 days. We built it because authors run a lot of websites, and checking traffic shouldn't mean opening a browser.
Borderless printing for macOS
Presswell is a native Mac printing app we built to solve a problem of our own: printing book covers edge to edge, without borders. It's in use at Eleista today. Because every printer and driver behaves a little differently, we're testing it on more hardware before we offer it for sale.
