TryPost

TryPost is a social media scheduling tool for creators, freelancers, and agencies who want to manage content across multiple networks without juggling separate apps or paying per-channel fees. It's a direct alternative to tools like Hootsuite, and you can self-host it for free or use the managed cloud.

The core workflow is straightforward. Write a post once, preview how it renders on each network, then queue it across Instagram, Facebook, LinkedIn, X, TikTok, YouTube, Pinterest, Threads, Bluesky, and Mastodon from a single editor. Instagram's 4:5 crop and X's 16:9 framing show up in the preview before anything goes live.

Key capabilities:

• Visual calendar with drag-and-drop scheduling. Filter by network or workspace, see a full month at a glance, and reorder posts without rebuilding queues.
• Auto-publishing via each network's official API. Set the time and walk away; you only get notified if something fails.
• AI captions built into the composer, so you're not starting from a blank box.
• Team workflows with real-time co-editing, inline comments, and approval flows. Clients can approve posts through a shareable link without needing an account.
• Media library for storing and reusing images and videos across posts without re-uploading.
• Analytics tracking followers, reach, and engagement across networks in one chart, updated in real time.
