SocialQ guides
Short, specific guides to how SocialQ works: how to lay out your Google Drive folder, how posts move through the approval queue, and what happens when a post is missed or your Mac is asleep. Everything here describes the app as it ships today.
SocialQ is a Mac app that publishes Instagram Reels, photos and carousels from a Google Drive folder on a schedule, and only after you approve each post. $29 once, no subscription, with a free 7-day trial.
