Schedule Threads posts from the same composer as Instagram

Plan Threads posts on the same calendar as Instagram, X and Bluesky. The composer checks Threads’ 500-character limit and shows a preview, so one idea becomes the right post for each network.

What you can do with Threads

Write once, fit Threads

Start with one shared caption and adjust the Threads version, with the 500-character limit checked before scheduling.

Calendar and queues

See Threads beside every other network, fill posting slots from a queue and drag to reschedule.

AI captions

Write with AI from a short brief, with a version for each network in your brand voice.

Approvals

Owners, reviewers and multi-step approvals for teams and clients.
