Zero-install scheduling for Mastodon posts.
Free (self-hosted) · Free plan: yes · 1 platforms
What is FediPlan?
Most people don't know Mastodon can already schedule posts — the API supports it natively, the apps just don't expose it well. FediPlan (from the maker of the Fedilab app) is a small open-source web client that fills exactly that gap: log in with your instance, write posts with media and content warnings, pick times, done.
Scheduled posts are stored by your own Mastodon server, so nothing needs to stay running — no VPS, no desktop app, no subscription. It's a single-purpose tool and proud of it. If your entire need is 'queue toots for the week,' this is the fastest route from zero to scheduled.
Key features
- Native API scheduling. Uses Mastodon's built-in scheduled-post support — your server holds the queue.

- Full post options. Media attachments, content warnings, and visibility settings supported.
- Pleroma compatible. Works with Pleroma and other servers implementing the same API.

FAQ
How does FediPlan schedule posts without a server?
Mastodon's own API supports scheduled posts — FediPlan just gives you an interface to create them. Your instance stores and publishes the queue, so nothing else needs to run.
Is FediPlan safe to connect to my account?
It's an open-source client from the Fedilab project using standard OAuth — you can review the source or self-host the client itself for maximum control.
Does FediPlan work with Pleroma?
Yes — any server implementing Mastodon's scheduling API endpoints works, including Pleroma.
Can I schedule to other networks with FediPlan?
No — it's Fediverse-only by design. For Mastodon plus mainstream networks, look at Buffer, Publer, or self-hosted Postiz/Mixpost.
