Features

Everything Crosscast does, in detail. Three first-class systems — cross-posting, scheduling, analytics — and an API that makes them programmable.

Cross-posting

Every account, one upload

Connect unlimited platform accounts per workspace and group them into channels — one per brand. A post targets a channel's accounts by default; deselect any of them per post.

Per-platform captions with templates

Each channel carries caption templates per platform with a {title} variable. TikTok gets hashtags, Instagram gets credits, YouTube gets a clean title-first description — automatically, editable per post.

Cover frame picker

Scrub the actual video and pick the exact frame Instagram and YouTube use as the cover. TikTok stores your choice and applies it wherever the API allows.

Platform truths, handled

Instagram reels ingest from secure staged URLs. YouTube Shorts get title-from-first-line handling, a 3-minute length check at create time, and honest quota docs (~6 uploads/day under the default API budget). TikTok delivery is in-app drafts for every account while our app's content audit is pending — captions and video attached, two taps in TikTok to finish; the queue explains it inline.

Scheduling

Queue slots

Give each channel its posting rhythm — say 9:00 and 17:00 daily. New posts take the next open slot automatically. Consistency without a spreadsheet.

Exact times and post-now

Override any post to an exact datetime, or push it out immediately. Everything is timezone-aware per workspace.

Calendar and queue views

See the week the way platforms will: every target, every account, every time. Failures surface inline with the platform's real error message and a one-click retry.

Analytics

Snapshots, not vibes

Views, likes, comments, and shares — plus watch time where the platform's API reports it (Instagram) — captured hourly for the first 72 hours after publish, then daily to day 30 — so you see the shape of a post's life, not just its latest number.

Cross-platform comparison

The same video, side by side on every platform it went to. Learn where each content style actually performs.

Account growth

Follower counts snapshot daily per account. Watch which channel strategy compounds.

Security & your data

Encrypted at rest, hashed, rate-limited

Platform tokens are AES-256-GCM encrypted at rest. API keys are stored as hashes and shown once. Auth endpoints and the API carry per-IP and per-key rate limits.

A real deletion story

Videos are deleted 30 days after their last post completes. Workspace deletion (Settings → Danger zone) purges accounts, posts, media, and keys immediately. No analytics pixels, no data resale, no model training on your content.

For developers & pipelines

REST API

Workspace-scoped API keys. Stage media and covers, create posts idempotently, list, edit, cancel, and read status and metrics. Publishing end to end, fully scriptable (account connection and analytics browsing stay in the dashboard).

Made for automated content

If you run an AI video pipeline or a render farm, point its output at the API and treat the dashboard as your review queue. This is the workflow the product was designed around.
