It publishes itself

The post goes live on Instagram on schedule. Approvals hold anything a client still needs to sign off.

STORIES SCHEDULER

A Story every day, without the daily scramble

Stories vanish in 24 hours, which means the cadence never stops. Scheduling is how a daily habit survives a busy calendar.

Batch a week of Stories

Design the sequence, order it, and schedule each frame to land through the week.

Auto-publish every morning

Set the daily slot once. Your Story is up before your audience checks their feed.

Every account in one place

Run brand and client Stories from the same calendar as the rest of your content.

Approvals before anything ships

Client accounts hold posts in review until the owner signs off. The approval trail lives with the post.

Reports that prove the work

Engagement per account, ready to drop into the monthly report instead of screenshotting the app.

A queue agents keep full

Brief Riley or connect an MCP client and drafts arrive marked for review while the approved queue publishes itself.

PLAN THE WEEK

A week of Instagram content, planned in one sitting

This is what the calendar looks like when the batching is done: every Story written, approved, and queued. The rest of the week runs without you.

  • Queue Instagram content weeks ahead, then step away
  • Approval states keep clients and teammates in the loop
  • One calendar across every account you manage
