Introducing Kitmo
The operations layer for solo creators.
If you make vertical video and post it to TikTok, Instagram Reels, and YouTube Shorts, you've already know the pain of scheduling everything manually. Open three tabs. Re-upload three times. Re-write three captions. Re-set three privacy settings. Hit publish three times. Repeat per video. Repeat per day.
Most "social media management" tools are built for marketing teams. They're priced for marketing teams ($50–$200/month), styled for marketing teams (12-channel calendars you don't use), and feature-bloated with things solo creators don't need.
I didn't need all of that. So I built Kitmo.
Kitmo is the opposite of that.
What Kitmo does today
One place to:
- Upload media once. Drag a video into the library. Were you can preview the content.
- Compose a post with platform-aware caption, hashtags, and privacy in a single editor.
- Schedule to a single calendar: TikTok, Instagram Reels, YouTube Shorts.
- Publish in one click. We fan out to every connected account behind a queue.
- See what worked from a quiet analytics view.
That's the whole product on day one. No 14-channel marketing stack. No 90-day pricing tiers. Just the cross-posting workflow you've been doing manually. Just easier.
What Kitmo isn't
- It's not Buffer. Buffer is for teams.
- It's not Metricool. Metricool is for agencies.
- It's not "AI for everything." We say no to slop generation by default.
The bet is this: the pre-existing three-platform workflow that lives in your head every day should disappear into a single product surface. Not be enriched. Not be augmented. Disappear.
What's next
I have a lot of ideas to develop: upload one long-form video → AI detects the highlight moments → vertical reframe editor → publish as shorts on every connected platform automatically.
But the plan is to stay focused on the core cross-posting workflow. And to make daily life of content creators like me, easier.
Why now
I've always been interested in indie hacking space. I built a few small projects in the past, but I never really committed to building something big. I think part of it was the fear of failure, and part of it was just not knowing where to start.
This is a problem that I know well, and that I hope that makes lives of other content creators easier.
Kitmo is the version of this tool I wished I had for all this time. I built it for myself, but I hope it can help other creators too.
Join the waitlist
Kitmo is in private beta. We're letting creators in slowly while we polish the publishing flow and shake out the token-refresh corner cases on three different platform APIs (each of which thinks it invented OAuth).
First creators free for life. I'll see what I can do about the rest of you. 😉
