See what comes next before you post. FutureGrid gives creators, businesses, and social media managers a private workspace to plan a visual profile. Arrange your photos, refine the balance of your grid, and keep captions, music ideas, and local reminders together without connecting a social media account. PLAN THE WHOLE PICTURE • Drag photos to rearrange your grid. • Switch between 3:4 portrait and 1:1 square previews. • Draft captions and build carousels with multiple slides. • Add an optional Music note for a song, artist, or lyric. • Customize your profile preview with an avatar, bio, links, selected link thumbnails, and simulated profile details. • Set a local reminder, then prepare photos and copy your caption for manual publishing. MAKE ROOM FOR MORE • Free: one profile and up to 12 grid posts. • Creator: up to three profiles, unlimited posts, and Reel cover planning. • Agency: up to 20 profiles, everything in Creator, and image or PDF client boards. • Lifetime: unlimited profiles and all Agency features with one purchase. With a paid plan, select a frame from a video to plan a Reel cover. Only the cover image is kept. Agency and Lifetime let you prepare client review PDFs with an optional grid overview, full captions, and individual post pages with every carousel slide. Include or hide posted work, preview all pages, and save or share the PDF. Export one post from its editor, or share your grid as a JPEG. Music is a text note for planning; audio is selected separately in Instagram. YOUR WORKSPACE, ON YOUR DEVICE FutureGrid has no account system, advertising or tracking SDK, cloud sync, or automatic posting. Your planning library stays in the app on your device. Standard device backups may include that library according to your Apple settings. Content leaves the app when you choose actions such as exporting, sharing, or saving images to Photos. Photos used for planning are optimized copies. Keep your originals for publishing at their original quality. Creator and Agency are annual auto-renewable subscriptions. Payment is charged to your Apple Account at confirmation. Subscriptions renew automatically unless canceled at least 24 hours before the current period ends. Manage or cancel subscriptions in your Apple Account settings. Lifetime does not automatically cancel an existing annual subscription. Prices are displayed in the app for your region. FutureGrid is developed by Rule Mobile and is not affiliated with Instagram or Meta.
