Hugo Studio
A native desktop editor for Hugo sites — content, menus, data, theme files, media, git, live preview — behind schema-driven forms that keep your TOML / YAML / JSON byte-for-byte intact when they don't need to change.
Hugo Studio targets non-technical content editors and theme authors who want a real desktop app for their Hugo site — no terminal, no YAML, no markdown table guesswork — but it also stays useful for power users because it never reformats files it doesn’t have to touch.
Highlights
- Schema-driven front-matter form (21 standard Hugo fields curated; custom fields inferred from siblings).
- Markdown body editor with rich-text WYSIWYG (Milkdown for
.md, TipTap for.html). - Visual menu editor, data file manager (CSV grid + JSON / GeoJSON), theme file browser, custom archetype editor.
- Drag-drop for media + data files from the OS.
- Embedded
hugo serverfor live preview, full git surface (clone / branch / stash / push), no system git required.
