Post Scheduling
Schedule Instagram posts, stories, and reels to publish automatically.
How Scheduling Works
Opalite can automatically publish your posts at a scheduled time. No phone notifications or manual intervention needed.
Scheduling is part of the Plus plan ($5/month). Posting right away is free for everyone, new accounts get scheduling free for their first 14 days, and accounts created before September 2026 keep scheduling free forever.
- Create a new post in the Post Assistant
- Instead of publishing immediately, click Schedule
- Pick a date and time
- Opalite will publish it automatically
Important Notes
- Your computer must be online at the scheduled time for auto-publish to work
- If your computer is offline, Opalite will retry as soon as it comes back online
- A post that misses its time by more than 6 hours is marked failed instead of publishing stale. Hit Retry to publish it manually, or reschedule it
- You can schedule posts, stories, and reels
- View and manage all scheduled posts in the calendar view
Time Slots
Set up recurring time slots for consistent posting:
