Write once, post to many

Draft one post and send it to all connected accounts at once, with platform limits handled for you.

Local-first & private

Posts, drafts, and credentials stay on your Mac. There are no Lectern accounts or cloud sync.

Scheduling

Schedule posts for later. Lectern sends them at the chosen time from your Mac.

Media & alt text

Attach images or video, set alt text per platform, and let Lectern handle uploads.

Publishing history & logs

See what was posted, when it was sent, and response details in local logs.

Built by a photographer,
for people who post.

Lectern is built by David Degner, a photographer based between Boston and New York.
