WHAT IS IT?
Postiz is a social media scheduling platform built as a self-hosted alternative to Buffer, Hootsuite or Later. It lets you manage, schedule and analyze posts across fifteen or so networks from a single interface, with built-in AI to help draft content and a full API for automation.
WHY IS IT INTERESTING?
- Broad network coverage: Instagram, YouTube, LinkedIn, Reddit, TikTok, Facebook, Pinterest, Threads, X, Bluesky, Mastodon, Dribbble, Slack and Discord - hard to find anything more complete in open source.
- Truly self-hosted: simple Docker deployment, AGPL-3.0, you keep your data and OAuth tokens on your own infrastructure instead of trusting a SaaS.
- Team collaboration: invitations, comments, post approval flows and roles - usable well beyond a personal account.
- API and webhooks: direct integration with n8n, Make, Zapier or your own scripts to automate content generation and publishing.
- Modern, hackable stack: Next.js + NestJS + Prisma + Temporal, TypeScript end-to-end, pnpm monorepo - easy to fork to plug in a custom provider.
USE CASES
- Replace a Buffer or Hootsuite subscription with a self-hosted instance for an agency or marketing team.
- Automate content reposting (blog → LinkedIn/X/Bluesky) through the API from an n8n pipeline.
- Give multiple creators a shared space to collaborate on posts before publishing.
- Centralize multi-platform engagement stats without handing data to a third party.
