Although I haven’t used the app much I paid to download and support the desktop version. It makes me more comfortable to be able to keep my files on my own machine, so I’m more likely to delve into Gingko now. For a v0.8x app it is surprisingly stable and fast. I like it, but I just wish that the nice template choices on the web were in the desktop app too.

Is there an actual Gingko app for the Mac? So far, I’ve using the Internet only to interact with Gingko. I cannot find anything on the app store or on the Gingkoapp site that looks like a downloadable app.

Yes - I see someone else already posted the link. The trial period is 30 days of actual use, as opposed to 30 calendar days, so you could theoretically spend months playing with it. But I’d recommend buying it if you like it, especially since the payment page offers a user-selectable sliding scale so that it doesn’t have to cost the recommended $45 - it could cost as little as $15 for a license, which is a huge bargain for what it (potentially) offers.
The Mac app is pretty barebones and could really use settings for text font/size/color/background color (and a night mode would be nice), checkboxes to implement macOS spellcheck and/or correct while typing, smart substitutions (eg quotes, dashes), etc. And again, getting those templates on the desktop app would be sweet. Less important additions that would be nice to see might include auto-backups, password locks, doc stats in footer, some printing control, etc
But as far as its working like the web app, it’s pretty solid.
