a basic web ui for scheduling posts on mastodon

how to get an access token

  • create/login to a mastodon account
  • go to Preferences > Development > New application
  • give it whatever name you'd like (this will show up in the app field of the post)
  • include the scopes read:statuses, write:media, and write:statuses
  • once created, select it and copy Your access token

notes

  • posts scheduled with this tool use your default language setting
  • instances have their own post length/attachment limits, which this tool does not check for you
  • this tool does not store any data: it fetches and posts on your behalf, but the actual scheduling is handled by your instance
  • when posts are scheduled in the near future, your instance may post them immediately instead of scheduling them (default is <5min)
  • the "in reply to" field can be post URL or ID, but if it's from another instance, make sure to use the reference from your own instance instead of theirs
