Postmoderno
Schedule social posts by asking ChatGPT, Claude or any MCP client
Postmoderno is a social media scheduler with no compose box. Connect it to ChatGPT, Claude, Claude Code, Cursor or any MCP client, then ask for posts in the chat: "schedule the launch post for Tuesday 09:00". Your agent drafts the post, adapts it for each network, and shows you the time in your timezone and in UTC before you say yes. Postmoderno publishes it on time to your accounts on popular platforms, and retries on its own when a network has a bad moment. It keeps writing notes that any connected AI client can read: your voice, your audience, what to avoid, facts about your product, how often you post, and what worked before. Switch from Claude to ChatGPT and the notes come with you. Each key you give an agent carries only the permissions you switch on, and you can pin it to certain accounts. The free plan needs no card. Built and run from Cyprus, in the EU.

CrowdYeti
Collect public data from Instagram, TikTok, YouTube, X, LinkedIn and Threads
CrowdYeti collects public data from Instagram, TikTok, YouTube, X, LinkedIn and Threads. You choose a Scout, a ready-made collector for one job, like the comments on a YouTube video or the posts on an X profile. There are more than 70 of them. Before a run starts, you set how many results you want and see the most it can cost in credits. The results open in a Data view where you can search them, tick the ones you want and export. You can download CSV or JSON, add them to Google Sheets or send them to your own webhook. For bigger jobs, you chain Scouts into a workflow. A workflow can filter the results, remove duplicates and run an AI step on each record. The Assistant helps you plan a collection and sets it up for you to review. You start every run yourself. Plans start at $29 a month, with a 3-day free trial.
How we rank
Every product here launched on IndieTide’s weekly board. They’re ordered by the total votes they’ve received from signed-in members since launch, and ties go to the product that was submitted first. Categories come from what makers list when they submit, and the order updates as new votes come in.
