What Hookpost is
Hookpost is an open-source social media scheduler that publishes to 14 networks from a visual calendar. Users can draft a post once, select channels, then adjust its copy, media, or hashtags for each platform. Its caption tools generate platform-specific captions, hooks, and hashtags within character limits. A Model Context Protocol server lets compatible AI tools draft and queue posts without opening the app. Hookpost supports web, API, and self-hosted use; the AGPL-3.0 stack runs on a user's server with Docker Compose and has no per-seat fee. Scheduled jobs use Temporal workflows that resume after a worker restart. Channels include YouTube Shorts, LinkedIn, X, Facebook Pages, Bluesky, Discord, Telegram, Slack, WordPress, Medium, Hashnode, and DEV.to; Instagram, Threads, and Pinterest await platform approval for new accounts. Analytics show metrics when each platform exposes them.
