For indie game developers
Schedule your devlogs and wishlist pushes, free
SocialMate schedules your devlogs, screenshots and wishlist reminders to Bluesky, Mastodon, X, Discord, Telegram and LinkedIn, and posts trailers and gameplay clips to TikTok. Write a week of posts after a build and get back to the game. The free plan covers 250 posts a month.
What you can do
Screenshot days, on time
Queue a screenshot for #screenshotsaturday and the other weekly tags the night before, so it goes out while you sleep.
Devlogs as real threads
Post a devlog as a thread to Bluesky, Mastodon or X right away, each part replying to the one before.
Your Discord community
Post patch notes and playtest calls to your Discord server through the SocialMate bot, at the time you pick.
Wishlist reminders that rotate
Campaign mode rotates your store link, trailer and a new screenshot on the days you choose until launch day.
Gameplay clips to TikTok
Upload a clip and post it to TikTok publicly, or schedule it. The free plan includes 20 TikTok videos a month.
