Reel scheduler that syncs across Instagram and TikTok
Built for content creators posting to multiple social platforms.

The receipts — real demand
“I keep scheduling reels that never show up in the scheduled content or post. If i don’t schedule them as posts, they don’t post or show up. It’s annoying. Scheduling reels on IG works, but it’s not the same. The images cut off and it’s just bad. I’m now having to go and create a video with the images on TikTok to post. And I hate it.”

Why this is a gap
Surfaced from a high-intensity complaint with clear willingness to pay and a specific, reachable audience.
The market
Content creators posting to Instagram and TikTok need reliable cross-platform reel scheduling. Zero search volume is surprising given creator scale, suggesting either the pain is specific to a subset or creators are routing around it manually.
Competition & the opening
Competition 1/10 and no named incumbents imply no dominant multi-platform scheduler, but Buffer, Later, and Hootsuite all address this category. The pain (Instagram and TikTok scheduling bugs) is platform-specific API brittleness, not a market gap.
What's hard to build
Feasibility 5/10 reflects real constraints: Instagram and TikTok restrict scheduling APIs and change them frequently. TikTok in particular has unstable third-party API access due to geopolitical risk. You're building on shifting sand—platform changes break scheduling overnight, and you have no control over fixes. Maintenance cost is high; defensibility is low.
Why now
Instagram Reels scheduler is notoriously buggy; TikTok's API opened late; unified cross-platform scheduler solves creator pain.
