We were paying $200+/month managing social media for our startup — Planable, Buffer, separate AI tools. So I built SocialCue. It's a self-hosted content calendar with a proper client approval workflow. Clients get their own login, see only their content, approve posts directly. Approved posts auto-publish to Buffer at the scheduled time. 6 PHP files. Any web host. No database. Live demo at socialcue.eu/demo

Hey Product Hunt! 👋
I'm Kevin — social media manager and the person who got fed up paying $200+ a month in SaaS subscriptions for our startup.
Between Planable for client approvals, Buffer for scheduling, and separate AI tools on top — the bills added up fast. And the thing that always annoyed me most: Planable charges per workspace. Managing 5 clients? That's 5× the monthly fee.
So I built SocialCue for ourselves. We've been running it internally for a while, and it's simplified our whole content workflow. Eventually decided to package it up and sell it.
What it actually does:
→ Full content calendar (month, week, day, kanban)
→ Client Approver login — clients see only their content, approve directly on the post
→ Connects to Buffer per client — approved posts auto-publish at the scheduled time
→ AI text and image generation built in and free
→ Self-hosted — 6 PHP files on any web host, your data stays on your server
What it doesn't do: no social analytics, no inbox management, no mobile app. It's focused on the planning and approval workflow and does that well.
One-time $90. No subscription, no per-seat fees, no expiry.
