About Scribbles
Scribbles is a small, independent blogging service built around a distraction-free editor with live preview and drag-and-drop images. It ships with minimal themes, accent colours and menus you can adjust without code, plus custom themes for those who want more. One account can run up to five blogs, which is handy for keeping personal, project and family blogs separate, and you can invite collaborators under the same subscription. Whole blogs can be protected with a passcode, posts can be set to auto-archive after a while, and uploaded photos have their metadata stripped. Analytics are light, or you can plug in tools like Plausible. There is no newsletter sending or paid subscription feature, so it is a blog first. Pricing is a single plan billed monthly or yearly after a free trial. It runs in the browser. It suits personal bloggers and families who want a quiet, good-looking blog without social features.
Best for: Personal bloggers and families who want calm, private-capable blogs under one plan.
