Grid Planner & Preview

Read full description

See your feed before anyone else does. Arrange the next posts on a grid that looks exactly like your profile will, move them until the order feels right, and keep every draft, caption and image in one place until it is time to publish. Connect the account you already run. Published posts and planned ones sit side by side, so you are planning against the real thing rather than a blank canvas. WHAT YOU CAN DO • Preview the grid — drag posts into place and see the profile as your audience will • Plan the month — a calendar of what goes out and when, with drafts that keep their media • Know your best hours — an activity heatmap built from your own account's numbers • Track what works — followers, likes, comments and engagement over 7, 30 or 90 days • Write faster with AI — captions in the voice of your own past posts, and content plans by the month • Organise Highlights — arrange covers and groups before you touch the profile • Get reminded — a notification at the moment you planned to post • Run several accounts — connect up to five and switch between them You post yourself. The app prepares everything and reminds you at the right time — nothing is published without you. PREMIUM Full access is available as an auto-renewing subscription, with a free trial for new subscribers. • Payment is charged to your Apple ID at confirmation of purchase, or when the free trial ends • The subscription renews automatically unless it is cancelled at least 24 hours before the end of the current period • Renewal is charged within 24 hours of the period ending, at the price shown in the app • Manage or cancel it any time in your App Store account settings • Any unused part of a free trial is forfeited if you subscribe before it ends Not affiliated with, endorsed by or sponsored by Instagram or Meta.
