What This Social Media Planner Does

This is a free content planning tool for social media. You can write posts, assign them to platforms (Instagram, Facebook, Twitter/X, LinkedIn, YouTube), set dates and times, and organize everything in a calendar view.

The planner also includes a library of content ideas — ready-made post concepts sorted by type (educational, entertainment, behind-the-scenes, promotional, inspirational, interactive). These give you a starting point when you are not sure what to post next.

When your plan is ready, export it as a CSV file. You can import the CSV into scheduling tools like Buffer, Hootsuite, or Later to actually publish the posts at the planned times. This tool handles the planning — the scheduling tools handle the publishing.
