What content types can I schedule to Threads?

Text posts, image posts including carousels, and video. Threads accepts all three, and WriteOnce's composer supports each of them.

Will scheduled Threads posts get less reach?

No. WriteOnce publishes through the official API, exactly as if you posted from the app. Platforms don't penalize API publishing.

Can I cross-post from Threads to other platforms?

You cross-post from WriteOnce to Threads and the others at once: write one caption, select Threads plus any of the other 9 platforms, and publish or schedule in one action.

Schedule Threads posts and stop posting by hand

Threads rewards accounts that show up every day, but Meta's app gives you no real way to plan ahead. WriteOnce lets you write a week of Threads posts in one sitting, schedule each one for a specific time, or drop them into a recurring queue that publishes on your best-performing slots.

Threads gives you 500 characters, more room than X but less than LinkedIn. WriteOnce tracks that limit live while you type, and because it's a cross-posting tool, the same post can also go out to X, Bluesky, Facebook, or all 10 supported platforms in one publish.

WHAT YOU CAN POST TO THREADS

Text postsImagesVideo500 character limit

Built for Meta's X alternative

Threads support is native in WriteOnce, not a bolted-on afterthought. Text, photos, carousels, and video all schedule the same way as your other platforms.

500 characters, tracked live

The composer counts against Threads' 500-character limit as you write and warns you before publish, so longer captions written for other platforms never fail silently.

One post to Threads, X, and Bluesky

The short-text platforms overlap heavily. Write the post once and publish it to all three at the same moment instead of juggling three apps.
