A social media content calendar that posts for you
A social media content calendar shows every post you have planned, by day and time, across all your platforms. Socialync's calendar is also the scheduler. Open the week or month view, click an hour to schedule a post, and it publishes at that time to Instagram, Facebook, TikTok, YouTube, LinkedIn, X, Threads, Bluesky and Pinterest (X needs a paid plan). Start on the free plan, no card.

What the Socialync calendar does
Week view
Hour rows down the side, seven day columns across. Each post sits at its scheduled time, and a line marks the current time.
Month view
The whole month at a glance. On a phone, a week strip with status dots shows which days have posts.
Filters
Show one platform, one post type (video, image or text) or one profile when you manage several brands.
AI drafting through MCP
Your own assistant drafts posts. You approve them, and they appear on the calendar at their time.
How to build your content calendar in 4 steps
- 1. Connect your accounts. The free plan connects up to 5 accounts across 8 platforms. X needs a paid plan.
- 2. Pick your slots. Open the week view and hover an hour. The plus button opens the composer with that day and hour already set. Need ideas for hours? Start with the best times to post.
- 3. Upload once. Tick the platforms and write a caption for each. Cross posting sends the same upload everywhere.
- 4. Check the calendar. Each post shows its platforms and status. Filter by platform or post type to see gaps in your week.

Fill the calendar with Claude or ChatGPT
Connect your assistant to the Socialync MCP server and ask for a week of posts. It drafts them and you approve each one in chat or in the app. Once approved, the post enters the schedule and shows on your calendar at its time.
MCP is included on every plan, free too. Setup guides: Claude, ChatGPT and the MCP connector guide. For the bigger picture, see social media automation.

How far ahead can I schedule on the calendar?
Free plans schedule up to 2 months ahead. Paid plans schedule up to 12 months ahead.
Which platforms does the calendar cover?
Socialync supports 9 platforms: Instagram, Facebook, TikTok, YouTube, LinkedIn, X, Threads, Bluesky and Pinterest. The free plan connects 8 of them. X needs a paid plan.
Can I plan a content calendar with ChatGPT or Claude?
Yes. Connect Claude, ChatGPT or Cursor through the Socialync MCP server and ask for a week of posts. The assistant creates drafts, you approve them, and approved posts land on your calendar at their scheduled time. MCP is included on every plan, including free.
