Planning a month of content
Use the monthly planner to rough out roughly 20 post ideas across a month, then the time-zone planner to confirm the best send time across 15 audience time zones before building the real schedule in SkedCast.
Free social media planner and scheduler tools
A hub of free, client-side planning tools: a 3-column Instagram feed/grid planner, a multi-time-zone posting planner with real daylight-saving math, and monthly and weekly post planners for roughing out post ideas on a calendar grid. Every tool here runs entirely in your browser for the current session — nothing is saved, synced or sent anywhere — which makes them a lightweight planning aid rather than a replacement for SkedCast’s real scheduling queue.
How to use the planners hub
- Pick the planner you need. Choose the feed/grid planner for Instagram layout, the time-zone planner for a global audience, or the monthly/weekly planner for rough scheduling.
- Work through your plan in the browser. Each planner is fully interactive and updates live as you add content, with no sign-up required.
- Note that nothing is saved. These are session-only tools; refreshing or closing the tab clears whatever you entered.
- Move a finished plan into SkedCast. Once you have a plan you like, recreate the schedule in SkedCast to actually queue and publish the posts.
Worked examples
Checking an Instagram grid before posting
Paste 9 image URLs into the feed/grid planner to see a 3x3 preview of how the next 9 posts will read together on a profile grid, then reorder them until the layout looks right.
Social media planners FAQ
- What planners are in this hub?
- The Instagram feed/grid planner, the multi-time-zone posting planner, and the monthly and weekly social media planners — four free, client-side tools.
- Do any of these planners save my work?
- No, all four are session-only: whatever you enter lives in your browser tab and is lost on refresh, with nothing saved or synced.
- Are these the same as SkedCast’s real scheduling queue?
- No, they are free, lightweight planning aids for roughing out ideas; SkedCast’s real product is a separate, account-based scheduling and publishing queue.
- Do I need an account to use these planners?
- No, every planner in this hub runs without a sign-up, directly in your browser.
- Which planner should I start with?
- Start with the monthly or weekly planner for general post ideas, then use the feed/grid planner if you post to Instagram and care about the visual grid layout.
- Is the time-zone planner accurate around daylight saving changes?
- Yes, it computes each zone’s offset from the actual date entered rather than a fixed table, so it correctly reflects daylight-saving changes for that specific date.
- Is there a social media planner app, or does this only work in a browser?
- These are browser-based, not a downloadable app — a digital social media planner that works the same as a social planner app without an install, on desktop or mobile.
- Can I use this as an online social media content calendar?
- Yes — the monthly and weekly planners work as a free online social media calendar for organizing planned social media posts before you build the real schedule in SkedCast.
- Is this social media planner good for a small business or agency?
- Yes — as a free social media planner for business use it needs no account, so a small business or an agency managing several clients can rough out a plan with zero setup.
- Can I plan Facebook and Instagram posts together here?
- Yes — the monthly and weekly planners are platform-agnostic, so a Facebook and Instagram planner workflow works the same as planning for any other platform.
- Is there a printable or PDF social media planner here?
- No — these are interactive browser tools, not a downloadable PDF or printable template. For an offline, fill-in-and-print starting point, use the content calendar template instead, which exports a spreadsheet you can print from Excel or Google Sheets.
- Is this the same as a social media calendar creator or post organizer?
- Yes — a social media calendar creator, a post organizer and a planner all describe the same job: laying out what you’ll post and when before you write and schedule it, which is what every tool in this hub does.
