Last time I posted here, the redesign had just shipped and I said I'd launch once it held up. It has, so CAPTD goes live on Product Hunt this Saturday 3 October, 12:01 AM PDT (08:01 in Dublin).
Quick recap for anyone new: you upload a photo and CAPTD writes the whole post for it. That means a caption in your voice, hashtags, alt text and a hook, sized to each platform's real limits. It's built for photographers, not for "content" in general.
What's changed in the last four weeks
10 platforms, including Threads and Bluesky. Each one follows the platform's actual limits and counts the way the platform counts, emoji included.
10 languages, both for the app itself and for the captions it writes.
Try it without signing up. There are sample photos on the homepage, so you can see a full result before uploading anything. After that you get 10 free generations, with no account, card or email needed.
Your photo is never altered. CAPTD writes the text, it doesn't touch the image.
Free photography tools: around 60 of them (depth of field, golden hour, ND filters, star trails, a histogram, an EXIF viewer, a metadata stripper). No account needed and nothing is stored.
Lots of unglamorous fixes: jobs that survive switching pages, counters that update properly, and posts that no longer go over platform limits when you paste them.
Went quiet here for a few weeks heads-down building. Wanted to share real progress, not a highlight reel.
Since my last post: a full visual redesign is nearly done new design system, every page rebuilt. A real automated build-in-public system is now live, analyzing actual code changes and posting genuine progress across Bluesky, Mastodon, Dev.to, Hashnode, and GitHub Discussions on its own.
Public launch coming once both are confirmed working. If you're a photographer and want to try it before then: captd.app. No signup needed.
I'm Marco a photographer originally from Rome, now based in Dublin. I've been shooting for years and the one thing that always killed my momentum was the content side of things.
Upload a photo, add a line about the shot, and get a caption, hashtags and alt text written for each platform you post to — not one caption reused five times. It learns to sound like you, and respects each platform's real character limit. Plus dozens of free photography tools: depth of field, sun position, histograms and more. Free to try, no account needed.
