by cogsend

CogSend is a social media scheduler that you run on your own Cloudflare account. You write a draft, tailor it for each platform, then publish it straight away or schedule it for later.

Hidden gemA self-hosted social scheduler for Mastodon, Bluesky, LinkedIn, Threads, Instagram and X that runs on your own Cloudflare account, usually within free plans, so it avoids per-channel subscription fees. It has a one-click deploy, thorough docs, updates and rollback, 2FA, retries, insights and an MCP/API, which suggests a working, well-maintained tool. Best for freelancers and small teams wanting a subscription-free social scheduler they own.
New and promisingUnder two months old. Expect rough edges and fast changes.

Our suggestion based on what it does, not a feature-by-feature comparison.

Make money with it

A freelancer could offer social media scheduling and posting as a monthly service, using their own CogSend instance to keep tool costs low.

An idea, not financial advice. Check the licence before charging for anything built on it.

Ways a business could use it

  • Schedule a week of posts across several channels without paying a per-channel monthly fee
  • Manage social accounts for clients from one self-hosted instance, with preview links for approval

Can you use it commercially?

Free to use, change and sell, including in paid products. Keep the copyright notice.

Not legal advice. Read the project's licence file before building a product on it.

Getting it running

Use the one-click Cloudflare deploy button, or clone the repository and run npm install and npm run setup with Node 22.17 or newer.

Follow the official instructions in the project README.

Things to check

  • Needs a Cloudflare account, and R2 requires a payment method on file
  • LinkedIn, Threads, Instagram and X need you to register your own developer apps, or use the paid third-party Zernio service
  • Free Workers plan limits cron triggers and slows publishing of large backlogs
  • Losing the encryption key means reconnecting every account
