Shoutrrr
An open-source, self-hostable alternative to Buffer, Typefully & Hootsuite.
Write once, publish everywhere. Schedule posts to X, Bluesky, LinkedIn, Facebook, Instagram, Threads, and Discord from one calendar — on your own server, with your own data.
What is Shoutrrr?
Shoutrrr is a social media scheduling tool you run yourself. Connect your accounts, draft a post once, and send it to every network at the same time — or queue it to go out on a recurring schedule. No monthly seat fees, no third party holding your tokens or your data.
It's built for individuals and teams: invite collaborators into a shared workspace, keep clients or brands separated, and see how your posts perform — all from a single, fast interface.
Why Shoutrrr?
- You own everything — your posts, your audience tokens, your analytics. Self-hosted on your infrastructure.
- One post, every platform — compose once and publish to multiple accounts, tweaking the text per network when you want.
- Plan ahead — a posting queue with recurring time slots and a month calendar, so your feed stays consistent without you babysitting it.
- Made for teams — workspaces, roles, and email invites keep clients and collaborators tidy.
- No vendor lock-in — open source under the Apache 2.0 license, runs anywhere Docker does.

Features
- 📝 Composer — draft with media and alt text, see live per-account text and video limits (including detected X subscription limits), and automatically split long posts into threads where the platform supports it.
- 🚀 Multi-account publishing — fan one post out to many accounts at once, with optional per-platform overrides. Each target publishes independently and retries on failure.
- 🗓️ Queue & calendar — set recurring posting slots (in your workspace's timezone), drop drafts into the queue, and review everything on a month calendar. Publish instantly whenever you like.
- 📊 Analytics — follower and post-count trends per account, plus per-post engagement (likes, reposts, replies, impressions) where the provider API supports it.
- 🔗 Connected accounts — link accounts via OAuth (X, LinkedIn) or app password (Bluesky), group them into reusable sets, and get nudged when one needs reconnecting. Tokens are stored encrypted and refreshed automatically; a successful authenticated X tier refresh also restores a stale attention state.
- 👥 Workspaces & team — multiple workspaces with role-based memberships, email invitations, and ownership transfer. Every bit of data is scoped to its workspace.
- 🔔 Notifications — in-app alerts when a post publishes or fails, or when an account needs attention.
- 🔐 Secure by default — email/password with verification, two-factor (TOTP), passkeys (WebAuthn), and optional social login (Google, X, LinkedIn).
