# Plan ahead. Keep the trending sound.

*For Reels and TikTok creators.*

Auto-posting tools publish through the platforms’ APIs — and the APIs leave out the features that make short video work. Space Avocado does the planning and lets the app do the posting, so you keep all of it.

Space Avocado is a prepare-only social media planner for Instagram, TikTok, Facebook, Xiao Hong Shu (RedNote) and WeChat. US$9 per month after a 7-day free trial, no card required — [start free](/register).

## Sound familiar?

- You scheduled a Reel, then found you can’t add the sound everyone is using.
- Your scheduler’s TikTok posts are stuck with a commercial music library.
- No link, poll or location stickers on scheduled Stories.
- So you end up posting by hand anyway — just without a plan.

## Planned like a scheduler. Posted like a person.

- **The real composer, every time.** When a slot comes due, the iOS app opens the network’s own composer with your media and caption attached. Add the trending sound, stickers, location or collaborators there, then press post.
- **Ready at the right minute.** Templates fan one post out into a Reel, a carousel and a Story, each in a research-based time slot. The nudge arrives when it is time — you just add the finishing touch.
- **Captions tailored per channel.** Adapt the caption and hashtags for each channel and frame every photo for the right aspect ratio before the moment arrives.
- **Any account, including personal.** Publishing APIs typically require a business or creator account. Space Avocado works with whatever account you already have.

## Frequently asked questions

### Why can’t schedulers add trending sounds?

Instagram’s publishing API does not offer the music library, and TikTok limits API posts to its commercial music library. Tools that post for you inherit those limits. Space Avocado does not post for you, so it does not.

### Do I still press post myself?

Yes — and that is the point. The post goes out from the real app, where every feature is available. Space Avocado makes sure the media, caption and hashtags are ready the moment it is due.

### Does it work with a personal Instagram account?

Yes. Space Avocado never connects to your account, so no creator or business account is required.

### Which formats are supported?

Instagram posts, carousels, Reels and Stories; TikTok videos and photo posts; Facebook posts, Reels and Stories; Xiao Hong Shu photo notes and videos; and WeChat Moments.
