What is TryPost?
TryPost is an open-source social media scheduler. You write a post once, adapt it for each network, and publish or schedule it to LinkedIn, X, TikTok, YouTube, Facebook, Instagram, Threads, Pinterest, Bluesky, Mastodon, Telegram, Discord and Google Business from one place. Use it on TryPost Cloud or host it yourself.Getting started

How the app is organized
The sidebar mirrors this Knowledge Base.Command palette
Press ⌘ K (or Ctrl K) anywhere to “Search channels, pages and actions.” It lists your Recent picks, Quick actions (Create new post, Create idea, and for admins Invite team member and Connect new channel), every page of the app, each channel with its number of scheduled posts, and every Settings page. Use the arrow keys to move, Enter to open and Esc to close. It only shows what your permissions allow.Workspaces
A workspace is one brand or client. It has its own channels, posts, ideas, signatures, labels, analytics, members and MCP connection. Switch between workspaces from the menu at the bottom of the sidebar. See Workspaces. The same menu also switches your Language and Theme in one click, opens Preferences, Manage team and Plans and billing, and has Help & support: the help center, chat support, the community and the app status page.Who can do what
There are no roles to pick. Each member of a workspace is either an admin or not, and either Publishes directly or Needs approval. The account owner is always an admin and always publishes directly.- Everyone can write posts, ideas and templates.
- Publishing without review, approving other people’s posts and Repurpose need Publishes directly.
- Channels, members, webhooks, API keys and workspace settings need an admin.
How publishing works
1
You save a post
Saving creates one post per selected channel. Each one can be edited, moved or deleted on its own.
2
TryPost publishes it on time
At its time (a custom time or a queue slot), TryPost sends the post to the network. Each channel is published on its own; if one fails, the others still go out.
3
You get an email
Notifications are sent by email. Choose which ones in Notifications.
