Bluesky Scheduler
Quick answer: Bluesky has no built in scheduler. The app can only post right now, and the request for scheduled posts is still open on Bluesky's GitHub. To schedule Bluesky posts you use a tool that posts through Bluesky's AT Protocol, like Socialync or Buffer. In Socialync you write the post, pick a date and time, and it publishes to Bluesky on its own, along with any other platforms you tick. It's free for 5 posts a month with no card.
How to schedule a Bluesky post
Step 1
Connect Bluesky
Sign in with your Bluesky handle and an app password from Bluesky's settings. Custom domain handles work too.
Step 2
Write the post
Up to 300 characters, with up to 4 images or one video. Add X, Threads, LinkedIn or any other platform to the same post and give each its own caption.
Step 3
Pick a date and time
Schedule up to 2 months ahead on the free plan and 12 months ahead on paid plans.
Step 4
It posts on its own
Socialync publishes at that time through the AT Protocol, then shows you the live post. You can edit or cancel it any time before then.

Bluesky scheduling questions
Can you schedule posts on Bluesky?
Not in the Bluesky app itself. Bluesky only posts right away, and scheduled posts are still an open feature request. You can schedule Bluesky posts with a tool that uses Bluesky's AT Protocol, such as Socialync, which is free for 5 posts a month.
Does Bluesky have a scheduler?
No. Bluesky's own blog points people to third party tools for scheduling, starting with its Buffer partnership in 2024. Socialync, Buffer and other schedulers connect to Bluesky through the AT Protocol.
How far ahead can I schedule Bluesky posts?
With Socialync, up to 2 months ahead on the free plan and 12 months ahead on paid plans.
Can I schedule Bluesky posts with images and video?
Yes. Socialync schedules Bluesky posts with up to 4 images or one video up to 10 minutes long, which is Bluesky's own limit.
Can I post to Bluesky and X at the same time?
Yes. Tick Bluesky and X on the same post and write a version for each. One Socialync post can go to all 9 platforms at once. X is on paid plans, from $20 a month for 5 accounts.
Is it safe to connect Bluesky to a scheduler?
Use an app password, which Bluesky made for exactly this. It lets a tool post for you without your real password, and you can revoke it in Bluesky's settings at any time.
