Your profile is a grid. Your calendar is a list.
The feed planner shows your Instagram grid with everything already published and everything still scheduled, in the order a visitor will see it. Drag a planned post to trade time slots with another and the calendar moves with it.
You approve posts one at a time and publish them all at once.
Each post looked fine on its own. Together they are three photos of the same shade of beige in a row, which you find out after the third one ships.
Fixing the order means editing three scheduled times by hand and hoping you did not just create a gap on Thursday.
The one view that matters to a visitor deciding whether to follow you is the one view your scheduler never shows you.
Honest fit check
For you if
- Instagram is a surface you are judged on, not just a channel you post to.
- You schedule a week or more ahead and care how the tiles sit together.
- You run more than one account and plan each profile separately.
Not for you if
- You want a grid planner for every network. The grid is an Instagram-shaped problem, so this is an Instagram-shaped tool.
- You want to design tiles here. It previews the assets you attached, it does not edit them.
- You post reactively and never schedule ahead. There is nothing to arrange.
Plan the profile, not just the posts.
Instagram is judged nine tiles at a time. A planner that only shows you a calendar is missing the surface your audience actually looks at.
The grid, as it will look
Published posts and scheduled posts in one preview, in the order they will appear. Not a mock-up, and not a separate plan to keep in sync.
Drag to swap slots
Move a planned post onto another and the two trade time slots. The calendar updates in the same move, so the schedule never drifts from the plan.
Catch clashes before they ship
Three similar shots in a row, two carousels back to back, a gap where a launch should sit. All obvious in a grid and invisible in a list.
Per account
Run several Instagram accounts and switch between their grids, so each profile gets planned as the surface it is.
One source of truth
The planner is a different view of the same scheduled posts, not a parallel plan. Change it in either place and both agree.
Earns its place in the sidebar
It only appears once an Instagram account is connected, because a grid planner with no grid is just another empty screen.
Four steps to a grid you meant to make
Connect Instagram
The planner appears in the sidebar once there is an account to plan. Nothing else to enable.
Schedule as normal
Compose and schedule the way you always do. Everything with a date lands in the grid automatically.
Look at the grid
Published tiles and planned tiles together, in the order a visitor scrolling your profile will meet them.
Drag until it reads right
Swap two planned posts and their time slots go with them. The calendar reflects it immediately, with no second edit.
