Potluck dishes, ranked by how fast they disappear. This is not a debate.
Thread, 7 posts
Threads and X posts, written for you.
Threadgehog drafts them, learns from every approve, reject and view count, and runs on its own once it knows your taste.
14-day free trial. Cancel before day 15 and you won't be charged. Apple silicon Mac, macOS 14 or later.
1Get a fresh batch of drafts
"Write drafts" adds a fresh batch in your brand voice whenever you want more, from 3 to 50 at a time.
2Decide with one click
Approve moves a draft to your Queue and Reject moves it to Rejected. A and R do the same from the keyboard, and every yes and no teaches Threadgehog what to write next.
3Write whole threads
Each post in a thread stays in order and goes out as a real thread on Buffer, Typefully and Postiz.
4Add an image to any post
Attach your own image or video, or generate one with the images your plan includes, your ChatGPT subscription or your own API key. Posts with media go out through any of the five schedulers, with Cloudinary connected for Buffer and Metricool.
5Run each account as its own project
Each project has its own drafts and queue, split into Threads and X, and posts through your scheduler to its own accounts.

Paste, describe, approve.
That's the heart of setup. Threadgehog writes from then on, and your scheduler posts what you approve.
Paste posts that worked.Paste links to 10 to 20 posts that did well in your niche, yours or anyone's. Threadgehog reads each post, or the whole thread. For X posts, paste the text. No time? Let Threadgehog research your product and niche instead, though posts you pick work better.
How to find posts that workIllustration: two Threads links and one pasted post, each read by Threadgehog, which notes sentence length, how posts open and close, and the words to leave out.
Say what you're promoting.Name it, say what it is and who it's for, and add your link. Then pick how many posts share the link, from 1 in 4 to every post. Setup ends by writing your first batch of 30 drafts.
Illustration: the setup brief with name, what it is, who it is for and the link, and 25% of posts chosen to share the link.
Approve. Your scheduler posts it.Drafts wait in Pending. Approve the good ones and they line up in your Queue. While the app is open, Threadgehog sends them to Buffer, Typefully, Publer, Metricool or Postiz once a day, twice a day, every 6 hours or every hour.
Illustration: an approved post leaves Pending for the Queue, the next draft waits in Pending, and queued posts go to Buffer, Typefully, Publer, Metricool or Postiz once a day, twice a day, every 6 hours or every hour.
Start with what already works.
Day-one drafts follow the style of posts your niche already replies to, so your first batch reads like posts that get replies.

Made a dish nobody finished once. Brought it to the next three potlucks anyway. Told myself it was "growing on people."

Learns what your audience likes.
Your approvals teach it your taste, and each post's numbers show it what people respond to.
Your first drafts follow the posts you picked in setup, so they start close to what already works.
Approve or reject each draft. Up to 8 of your latest approvals go along as examples, and on your plan's schedule it turns your choices into rules for the next batch.
Buffer, Publer and Postiz send back each post's numbers about once a day, and Metricool does for X. Once 3 posts beat your usual, most new drafts build on what they share, and the rest try something new.
Turn on Approve drafts automatically in Project settings. Once it agrees with you often enough, drafts it's sure you'd approve go straight to your Queue. The rest wait in Pending, and each one you review keeps teaching it.
1Learn now
Reads your approvals, your rejections and your post numbers, then rewrites the rules the next drafts follow. Learning also runs on its own every day. With Threadgehog AI, your plan sets how often the rules are rewritten.
2What's working
Compares proven drafts, which build on your top posts, and new ones against your typical post.

Example rules and numbers. Yours fill in as you review drafts and your posts go out.
Every plan includes Threadgehog AI drafts, so more posts a day uses more of your monthly drafts. For high volume, your own AI key has no draft limit: it's only text, so it stays cheap, though 100 or more a day adds up. Writing with your Claude or ChatGPT subscription uses that subscription's limits.
Whatever you sell, it writes.
Apps, games, Shopify stores, Etsy shops, courses, newsletters and agencies all get posts written for their niche.
You'd rather be shipping than posting.
Tell Threadgehog what your app does, add its link, and paste posts that worked or let it research your niche. It drafts posts about your app in your brand voice while you get back to the next feature.
What it is
A Mac menu bar app that shows which open browser tab is using the most memory
Who it is for
People who keep dozens of tabs open and never know which one to close
What readers should do
Download the free version and try it on your own tabs
A regular post
Found the tab that was eating 4.2 GB of RAM. It was a recipe I opened in March. I have not made the recipe.
A thread that links to it
My MacBook fan has been running for 11 days straight. Activity Monitor says "Google Chrome Helper (Renderer)" 38 times, which is not helpful.
So I spent two weekends on a menu bar app that names the tab instead. It checks every open tab once a minute and puts the heaviest one at the top. Last night it was a Figma file I forgot I had open.
It's called Tabweight. Free, no account: [link]
Example posts written to show the style. Not from a real account.
Written twice, once for each app.
Threads gets the warm, conversational version. X gets a punchier one, as a single post or a thread, whichever suits the idea.
A real six-post thread from the Potluck Coordinator account and the X version Threadgehog wrote from it.
Threads stay threads. Buffer, Typefully and Postiz post them as real threads on Threads and X.
Review drafts while you work.
Swipe mode shrinks Threadgehog to a small card that stays on top of your other apps. Swipe on your trackpad or press the arrow keys to approve or reject.
Illustration: Threadgehog's swipe mode, a small window floating in the corner of the screen over another app. The top draft swipes right to approve or left to reject, and the next draft takes its place.

Got a question?
Start with these ten. The full list is on the FAQ page, and the chat in the corner answers the rest.
Do I need posts of my own first?
No. A brand-new account works. Paste about ten posts from your niche that got plenty of replies, from any account, and Threadgehog writes in that style. The app shows you how to find them. Once your own posts start doing well, paste those and rebuild the brand voice.
Do I need an API key?
No. Every plan includes Threadgehog AI: 300 drafts a month on Solo, 750 on Pro and 1,500 on Unlimited, and the trial includes 50. Only writing a new draft counts. Editing a draft, rewriting it for X and learning from your approvals are free. Paid plans also include images every month: 30 on Solo, 75 on Pro and 150 on Unlimited. If you need more, add an AI pack in the app. You can also write with a Claude or ChatGPT plan you already pay for, through Claude Code or Codex on your Mac. For unlimited drafts, connect your own key instead: OpenRouter with one approval in your browser, or a key from Anthropic, OpenAI, Google Gemini, xAI or Moonshot. You pay the provider directly, and Threadgehog charges nothing per post. Your key is stored in your Mac's Keychain. When Threadgehog writes, what that request needs (your brand voice, your brief, your rules, example posts and the post itself) passes through Threadgehog's server to the AI provider, and the server stores none of it. Your drafts, queue and media are stored on your Mac.
Can I use my Claude or ChatGPT plan?
Yes, from Threadgehog 1.1. In Settings > AI, pick Use my Claude or ChatGPT subscription (setup starts on it, marked Recommended), then Claude subscription (Pro or Max) or ChatGPT subscription (Plus or Pro). The app shows two Terminal commands: one installs Claude Code or Codex, the other signs you in to your own account. Then press Test. Your plan writes your drafts, with no API key and nothing extra to pay us, and each draft counts toward your plan's limits. When you reach one, Threadgehog says so and you can switch to Threadgehog AI. Threadgehog never sees your Claude or ChatGPT login, and it runs Claude Code with its tools turned off, so it can't touch your files. It connects through Claude Code and Codex, which run on your Mac.
How does publishing work?
Connect the scheduler you already use: Buffer, Typefully, Publer, Metricool or Postiz. Threadgehog sends the posts you approve to it on the schedule you pick: once a day, twice a day, every 6 hours or every hour, while the app is open. Threadgehog picks the time for each post from your posts a day, spread from 9 AM to 9 PM, so nothing needs setting up inside the scheduler, which then publishes them to Threads and X. Buffer, Typefully and Postiz post multi-post threads as threads. Publer and Metricool take single posts, so a short thread is joined into one post and a long one stays in Pending.
Can it run without me approving every post?
Yes. Turn on auto-approve during setup or in Project settings. It waits until Threadgehog agrees with your choices often enough, and Project settings shows how close it is, from Just started to Ready for auto-approve. From then on, drafts it's sure you'd approve skip Pending and go straight to your Queue, which Threadgehog sends to your scheduler, and the rest wait in Pending. Pick how many posts it writes a day, from 1 to 500, and it writes them on its own while the app is open. More posts use more of your monthly AI drafts, more of your own key's usage (cheap, because it is only text), or more of your Claude or ChatGPT plan's limits. Reviewing a batch once a week or once a month still gets better results: it learns from what you approve and reject, and auto-approved posts are left out of that.
Will every post link to my product?
Only as many as you choose. Set it to 25% and about 1 in 4 posts point people to your product and end with your link. The rest are regular posts in your brand voice, so the feed does not read like ads. The X version keeps the link too, and in a thread the link goes in the last post.
Does it learn from my results?
Yes, in two ways. When it writes new ideas and the daily batch, up to 8 of your most recent approved posts go along as examples. And with Threadgehog AI, every 3 days on Solo, every day on Pro, or up to 3 times a day on Unlimited, it compares what you approved with what you rejected and rewrites the rules for the next batch. With Buffer, Publer, Postiz or Metricool, most new drafts also build on what your top posts share.
How does the free trial work?
