Audience
For creators, small businesses and agencies who post the same news to several social networks and don't want to rewrite it for each one, or post the same copy everywhere and watch it flop. Refract writes a version that fits each network from one note, keeps a human approval step before publishing, and handles scheduling, a shared calendar and client workspaces in one place.
About Refract
Refract is a web-based social media scheduler that turns one note into network-specific post drafts using AI. Users can review and edit each version, then schedule posts from a shared calendar. Refract supports 12 networks: TikTok, YouTube, Pinterest, Bluesky, Mastodon, Telegram, WordPress, Discord, Tumblr, Slack, Pixelfed and DEV. Instagram, Facebook, Threads and X are listed as coming soon. Team features include workspaces, approvals and client connection links for agency workflows. An API, webhooks and an MCP server connect Refract to custom applications and compatible AI assistants for drafting and scheduling. The service is designed for creators, small businesses, teams and agencies that publish across multiple social platforms.

LazyRelay
LazyRelay is a social media scheduler built around one idea: publishing shouldn't just look successful, it should be provable. Where most schedulers mark a post "sent" the moment an API call succeeds, LazyRelay's Proof-of-Publish independently verifies the post actually went live before it's marked confirmed.
Schedule once to 18 distribution platforms plus WhatsApp: Facebook, Instagram, TikTok, Pinterest, YouTube, LinkedIn, Threads, Mastodon, Bluesky, Telegram, Discord, Tumblr, WordPress, dev.to, Hashnode, Lemmy, Slack and X. Manage multiple brands from one account, with per-brand caps instead of a separate workspace fee for each one. A public REST API and hosted MCP server let AI agents (Claude, Cursor, etc.) schedule and verify posts directly.
Free tier available, no card required. Credit top-ups start at $15, and paid plans start at $29 a month.
