# Switching planners? Be posting by tonight.

*For anyone ready to leave their current planner.*

The worst part of leaving a tool is rebuilding everything you set up in it. Space Avocado skips the setup: templates and a posting schedule are in place the moment you sign up, so you only bring your media and your ideas.

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 want to leave, but setting up a new tool feels like a lost weekend.
- Months of planned posts live in a tool you no longer trust.
- Every channel, time slot and template has to be rebuilt by hand.
- You are not sure the next tool will be any different.

## A move measured in hours

- **Set up before you arrive.** New accounts start with the recommended templates and a research-based weekly schedule for every channel, including China-timezone slots. Tweak them later — or never.
- **Bring your media, your way.** Drop photos and videos into albums, or connect your own Dropbox so new uploads land in a folder you control. Your library stays plain files you can take anywhere.
- **Let Claude draft the first two weeks.** Connect Claude and ask it to turn an album into a fortnight of posts. It writes the captions, applies your templates and fills your schedule — you review and press post.
- **Nothing to reconnect.** Space Avocado never connects to your social accounts, so there are no logins to re-authorise and nothing to revoke later. Install the iOS app and you are ready.

## Frequently asked questions

### Can I import my posts from another planner?

There is no one-click importer yet. Export your media from your old tool or camera roll, upload it into albums or connect your Dropbox, and let a template or Claude turn it into posts.

### How long does it take to get started?

Minutes. Templates and a posting schedule are set up when you sign up, so you can upload media and queue your first post straight away.

### Do I have to reconnect my social media accounts?

No. Space Avocado never connects to your social accounts. When a post is due, the iOS app hands it to the network’s own app and you press post.

### Can I try it before cancelling my current tool?

Yes. The 7-day free trial needs no card, so you can plan a real week in Space Avocado before you cancel anything.
