About Postopus
Postopus is a browser-based tool for planning and publishing social media content. The idea is to stop rewriting the same message for each network: you compose a post once in a single editor and see a preview of how it will appear on every connected platform before it goes live.
From there you can publish immediately or schedule posts for a chosen time, and track what has gone out. The site walks through a three-step flow of writing, scheduling and publishing to all accounts at once, and presents the product through an octopus mascot whose arms stand for the different channels. Several platform integrations are marked as coming soon, so coverage is still growing.
Postopus is a hosted commercial product aimed at creators and small teams who want to post consistently without juggling many apps. It offers a seven-day trial with no credit card required; the site does not publish a self-hosted edition.
