What you can do

• Connect accounts. Manage your social connections in one workspace. Each provider keeps its own capabilities and publishing limits.
• Compose for each platform. Write posts and threads, then adjust the text and media for each account. Preview each version before publishing. Save account groups as Social Sets to reuse them.
• Calendar and queues. Choose a publishing time or the next free slot in a queue. Plan your posts in the calendar, stagger publishing across accounts, and get reminders when your queue runs low.
• Workflows. Turn GitHub releases, RSS feeds, and scheduled prompts into drafts. Connect steps on a visual canvas, add AI or conditions, review posts before scheduling, and inspect each run. Use HTTP requests and JavaScript for custom data.
• Auto repost. Set delays and engagement rules for native reposts on supported networks. Override the defaults for individual posts.
• Media library. Keep reusable images, videos, fonts, and brand assets in your workspace. Organize files with tags, collections, and favorites. Attach saved media without uploading it again.
• Meme maker. Pick a template, edit its captions, and replace its images. Save the result to your media library or attach it to a post.
• Inbox and messages. Read and reply to supported comments and direct messages without switching between social apps. View the mobile Inbox screens.
• Analytics and repurposing. Compare post results and track audience changes across your accounts. Use a previous post as the starting point for a new draft.
• Find people. Find accounts to follow on Bluesky and Mastodon. Review the suggestions and choose who to follow.
• AI writing and ideas. Generate ideas, compare draft directions, and adapt posts for your selected platforms. You review the result before publishing. AI writing is optional. Self-hosted AI setup.
• API, SDK, CLI, MCP, and n8n. Create drafts, schedule posts, and check publishing results from your scripts, agents, or n8n workflows. Install the TypeScript SDK or the CLI from npm. See the API reference for endpoints.
• Teams and workspaces. Keep brands and clients in separate workspaces and control who can edit them. Protect your account with passkeys, two-factor authentication, and session controls.

Design images and carousels

Design thumbnails and multi-page carousels with layers, templates, and custom fonts. Remove backgrounds in your browser, then export your design or attach it to a post. Try the image editor · Image editor guide

Edit and record videos

Trim and arrange clips on a multitrack timeline. Add captions, animations, transitions, effects, and audio, or cut footage by selecting words in its transcript. The Recorder captures your screen, camera, and microphone for the same timeline. Try the video editor · Video editor guide
