Per-instance OAuth bootstrap
Each Mastodon instance has its own OAuth app. We handle the bootstrap on first connect — you just paste your instance URL.
Mastodon
A Mastodon scheduler that works on every instance.
mastodon.social, hachyderm.io, your self-hosted instance — same scheduler, same analytics. Per-instance OAuth bootstrap, content warning support, custom visibility.

Built for Mastodon
Four things our Mastodon scheduler does right.
Content warnings as first-class
Set a CW per post or per network variant. The Mastodon community values them; our composer makes them easy to add.
Visibility control
Public, unlisted, followers-only, direct — set per post. Defaults to public for scheduled posts.
Federated-aware timing
Mastodon timelines are chronological across the federated graph. We default to EU weekday mornings (8–10 AM local) when both EU and US East audiences are reachable.

FAQ
Frequently asked
Which Mastodon instance do I connect?
Any. We bootstrap an OAuth app on your instance the first time you connect. Subsequent users from your team can share that app or bootstrap their own.
Why does my instance allow more than 500 characters?
Mastodon instance admins can raise the character limit. We respect whatever the instance's API reports — if your instance allows 1,000, we'll let you write 1,000.
Can I post with content warnings?
Yes — there's a dedicated CW field in the composer. Recommended for anything heavy, NSFW, or off-topic for a follower set.
Does Mastodon have hashtags?
Yes, and they're more meaningful than on Twitter-likes — hashtags are how content gets discovered across the federation.
Can I schedule polls?
Polls aren't supported in scheduled posts yet — Mastodon's API requires the poll to be created with the post, and our scheduler doesn't preserve poll state across the delay. Post manually for polls.
Will federation affect when my post is visible?
Your post is visible immediately on your instance, then propagates to followers' instances over seconds to minutes. Timing relative to your audience's local time is what matters.
