    me 👋

    Hi, I'm Alexandro 👋

    I left my Software Engineer role at Amazon to build tools that solve real problems, the kind big companies ignore because they read spreadsheets instead of using their own products.

    I was spending over an hour daily just scheduling 2 shorts across 3 platforms: logging in, reformatting, uploading one by one. That felt broken. So I built PublishQPublishQ . Now I create 4 shorts in 3 minutes and schedule them to 4 platforms in under 30 seconds.

    PublishQ is bootstrapped. No investors, no vanity metrics. I build what actually helps you, because I use it every day myself.

    Thank you,

    Alexandro

    Included
    Platform-Specific SettingsSet each network’s own publishing options in the composer: YouTube title, privacy, category, tags, playlist and made-for-kids; TikTok privacy level and comment, duet and stitch toggles; Instagram reel or story, share-to-feed and trial reels; plus the equivalents for Facebook, Threads, LinkedIn, X and Bluesky.

    Included
    Posts per month*How many posts you can schedule or publish. The allowance covers a month from your start date and then resets. Scheduled and published posts both count, and one post counts once however many accounts it goes to. Deleting a scheduled post frees its slot.Unlimited plans are subject to each network’s own daily posting limits, which we enforce to prevent spam and abuse.

    Included
    Time ZonePick your time zone once. Every post time, the calendar and every chart are read in it, so a schedule means what you think it means wherever you are.
    Included
    Live UpdatesThe dashboard keeps itself current. A post going out, an upload finishing or a video rendering shows up the moment it happens, in every tab you have open, with nothing to refresh. The same goes for your AI agent: a draft it writes, a post it schedules or publishes and any change it makes through the API, CLI or MCP server appear in your browser as it happens.
    Included
    Draft RecoveryClose the composer, or the whole tab, and the post you had started is waiting for you when you come back. Nothing to save first, and no window you have to leave open.
