BUILT BY ONE DEVELOPER IN 3 MONTHS
Because $99/month
for scheduling is insane
💡 I got tired of paying for Buffer Pro. So I built this. Now 200+ creators use it daily to schedule posts across 6 platforms with AI-powered content generation.

Why I Built This
"I was managing social media for 3 freelance clients. Buffer wanted $99/month. Hootsuite wanted $129/month. Their AI sucked and used their own keys (so I was paying for bad GPT-3.5 outputs).
I thought: What if I just... built my own? Bring your own AI key, pay for what you use, actually good UI. Took 3 months of nights/weekends. Here we are."

🔑 Your AI, Your Key
Use OpenAI, Claude, Gemini - whatever you want. You control costs and quality.
Why I built this: Tired of paying for terrible AI outputs I couldn't control
📱 Multi-Platform
Instagram, X, LinkedIn, TikTok, Facebook, Threads. One dashboard.
Why I built this: Instagram Graph API is hell. I figured it out so you don't have to.
⚡ Blazing Fast
Built with Next.js 14. Sub-200ms response times. Runs on < $50/mo infrastructure.
Why I built this: Because waiting 5 seconds for a post to load is unacceptable
👁️ Live Previews
See exactly how posts look before publishing. No surprises.
Why I built this: Once published "test post pls ignore" to 10K followers. Never again.
📊 Actual Analytics
Engagement rates, best posting times, content performance. Data that matters.
Why I built this: Other tools show vanity metrics. I wanted actionable insights.
🚀 Bulk Upload
CSV import. Schedule 50 posts in 2 minutes. Saved me hours weekly.
Why I built this: Manually scheduling 30 posts for a client took 2 hours. Insane.

Development Timeline
Week 1-2: OAuth Hell
Instagram Graph API, Twitter API v2, LinkedIn API. Each one has weird quirks.
Week 3-5: Core Scheduling Engine
Built job queue system, timezone handling, retry logic. Rate limiting was brutal.
Week 6-8: AI Integration
OpenAI, Claude, Gemini SDKs. Added streaming responses for better UX.
Week 9-10: Analytics & Polish
Built dashboard, charts, export features. Fixed 147 bugs.
Week 11-12: Beta Testing
10 users → 200 users. Scaled infrastructure. Added requested features.
🔥 Technical Challenges Solved:
- Rate limiting across 6 different APIs
- Image optimization for platform-specific requirements
- Real-time post previews that actually match final output
- Timezone conversion that doesn't break everything
- OAuth token refresh without losing user sessions
The Competition Tax
Here's what the big guys charge. I'm not saying they're bad... but $99/month for basic scheduling? 🤨

Pro plan. Actually affordable.
Your AI
Use your own keys. Control quality.
Math: Hootsuite ($99) - OutPost ($10) = $89 saved/month
That's $1,068/year. Buy a decent laptop instead. 💻

📝 Honest note: These tools aren't terrible. They have big teams, enterprise features, and millions in funding. If you need white-glove support and compliance certifications, go with them. But if you just want to schedule posts and use good AI without breaking the bank? This works.
Pricing That Makes Sense
No surprise fees. No "contact sales" bullshit (except Enterprise, obviously). What you see is what you pay. 💸
