Social Studio — Free Social Media Planner
What it does. A free, no-login social planner for drafting, scheduling, and tracking posts across LinkedIn, X, Instagram, Facebook, and YouTube. Built for small teams that need structure without paying for a heavyweight platform.
When to use it
For any team running consistent organic social without dedicated tooling — typically Seed–Series A startups, indie founders, and consultants. Once you grow past two posters and one channel, an enterprise platform starts to earn its keep.
What it includes
- Multi-channel post composer with character counts and previews
- Calendar view with drag-to-reschedule
- Content pillars and tagging
- Performance log you can update weekly to spot what works
- CSV export for handoffs
How to use it well
Define three to five content pillars before you start drafting — without pillars, the feed drifts into "whatever felt clever today." Batch-draft a week at a time. Review performance once a week and double down on the pillar with the best engagement-per-effort.

FAQ
Does Social Studio actually publish to the platforms?
No. It plans and tracks. Publishing still happens natively or through a publishing tool — which keeps you in control of API permissions and your data.
Is there a team mode?
Single-user today; team collaboration is on the roadmap.
What's the difference vs Buffer or Hootsuite?
Social Studio is free, browser-based, and focused on planning. It's a thinner tool by design, not a competitor on publishing depth.
