For developers, indie hackers & startup founders
Your whole social presence, handled. Write one line about what you did and tick where it should go. Recon writes a version for each platform in your voice, makes the short video, and schedules it: posted for you where the platform allows, one tap everywhere else. No agency, no editing app, no content spreadsheet.

See how it works ↓how it works
One box. Write it however it comes out, add a screenshot or a clip, and tick where it should go.
Each one written for how that feed works, in your voice. Nothing made up, nothing posted until you say so.
Each version goes out at that platform's best time. Where Recon can post for you, it does; everywhere else it's one tap.
Every version follows what gets reach now: an honest hook, a post worth sharing or replying to, and none of the clickbait, engagement bait or hashtag walls that feeds push down.
the second job
Recon does every one of these for you. You just approve. Or don't even do that.
one input, everything out
8 ready-to-post pieces: a thread and posts shaped for each platform, plus a vertical video for Shorts, Reels and TikTok.
everything included
The writer, the video editor, the scheduler and the social media manager, in one queue you check with your morning coffee.

Learns from posts you've already written, and turns a messy note into something worth posting. No robotic brand voice, no “excited to announce”.
Short vertical videos with burned-in captions, built from your real screenshots, code and numbers. No editing app.
A built-in checker flags hype phrases, engagement bait, hashtag walls and made-up numbers before anything goes out, and hides anything that looks like a leaked key.
Optional: connect a repo and Recon reads your commits, pull requests and releases every morning, and suggests posts about the ones worth telling.
short-form video
Your version, your three best changes, your screenshots. A 20-second changelog reel, ready to post.
The actual diff types itself in, with captions that say why it matters. Developers stop scrolling for this.
Symptom, cause, fix, in three beats. The most relatable post you'll make all week.
Customers, users, releases. Only numbers that are really in your data, counted up on screen.
autopilot
Clean drafts drop into your open slots and go out at your times, unless you skip them. Where a platform can't be posted to directly yet, you get a one-tap reminder instead. Sunday stays a rest day. (Autopilot is part of Pro.)
built for builders
for developers
Connect your repos. Recon reads what you merged and released, and turns it into posts and code walkthrough videos that other developers actually want to read.
“webhook retries now carry an idempotency key, so receivers see one alert per incident.”
for indie hackers
Build in public without it eating your evenings. A quick note from your phone becomes a thread, a LinkedIn post and a reel, scheduled across the week.
“Day 90: first 100 paying customers. Here's what actually moved the needle.”
for startup founders
Every release, milestone and hire becomes a steady drumbeat on every channel your customers and investors follow, in a voice that sounds like the founder, not an agency.
“v2.0 is out: offline mode and 3x faster sync. Here's the 20-second tour.”
every platform
Direct posting for the rest switches on as each platform approves Recon's app. Until then it's one tap, with a reminder at your posting time. Autopilot (clean posts going out on their own) is part of Pro.
built in public
Recon is built by one developer, in public, and promoted with Recon itself. If something's wrong or missing, you'll be talking to the person who builds it.
Recon's own posts, written by Recon, show up here as they go out.
repo permission, which GitHub only offers as full access, so Recon asks for it only if you choose to.No. By default nothing goes out until you approve it. On Autopilot (Pro), clean posts go out at your posting times, and anything the checker flags still waits for you.
Yes. Every platform's version is editable, with one-click rewrites (shorter, more concrete, more like you), and you can regenerate any of them.
Bluesky, Mastodon today. X, LinkedIn, Threads, Facebook Pages: one tap. Recon copies the post and opens the app at your posting time. Instagram, TikTok, YouTube Shorts: the video is ready to download and upload. More switch to direct posting as each platform approves Recon.
A project is a product you post about, with its own repos and links (Starter has 1, Pro 3). A video is each short reel Recon makes; one reel works for Reels, Shorts and TikTok (12 a month on Starter, 30 on Pro).
No. Posts are unlimited on both plans.
