OpenPost
Open-source social scheduler with built-in image, carousel and video editors and a workflow canvas.
Self-host with one Docker container and SQLite, or use the hosted version
OpenPost combines a post scheduler with an image and carousel designer and a video editor. It suits solo creators and small teams that want one self-hosted app instead of separate tools.
What it is
You write posts, design images and carousels, edit video and schedule across 16 networks including Instagram, LinkedIn, X, TikTok, Mastodon and Bluesky. Workflows turn GitHub releases, RSS feeds or scheduled prompts into drafts, and an API, SDK, CLI, MCP and n8n node let scripts and agents post.
Who it's for
It suits creators and small teams comfortable with Docker. It does not suit anyone who needs a hosted service today, since the README says hosted signups are on a waitlist.

Our honest verdict
What's great
- The default setup is one Docker container using SQLite and local media storage.
- Covers fediverse networks that most schedulers skip.
- AI writing is optional and can use a self-hosted setup.
- Offers a TypeScript SDK, a CLI and an MCP server for automation.
Where it falls short
- Some networks need provider app approval or publicly reachable media URLs before posting works.
- Hosted signups were on a waitlist at the time of reading.
- Posting formats, inbox features and analytics differ by network.
