Skedoff v1.0.1: I Added a Desktop App to My Offline-First Social Media Planner
Quick context: Skedoff is a privacy-first, offline-first social media content planner. No account. No cloud. No auto-posting. Just Draft → Queue → Published, all local on your device. Android app, live on Google Play.
The problem I kept hitting
After shipping v1.0.0 to Play Store, I started using it daily.
The workflow held up. The philosophy held up.
But writing long captions on a phone keyboard kept slowing me down. Not a blocker. Just enough friction to be annoying.
The obvious fix would be cloud sync — edit from anywhere, any device.
But that breaks the whole product promise. The moment I add a sync server, I need:
- a backend
- accounts
- user data leaving the device
- ongoing infrastructure to maintain
Skedoff's value is that none of that exists. I wasn't going to trade it for convenience.
What I built instead
Skedoff Workstation — a desktop companion app that connects to your phone over local Wi-Fi.
- Same network, direct connection
- Your drafts appear on desktop, editable with full keyboard
- Changes sync instantly back to the phone
- Zero cloud, zero relay, zero accounts
It's the same offline promise, just with a bigger keyboard.
What shipped in v1.0.1
- Skedoff Workstation desktop app
- Linux — .deb and AppImage, live
- Windows — .exe, live
- GitHub: v1.0.1 release
Honest status
- Still early. Zero marketing budget.
- Building solo under FlagoDNA.
- No revenue yet — free app, no subscription, no ads.
- Figuring out sustainability as I go.
What's next (v1.1.0)
- Local notification reminders for queued posts
- Bulk actions
- Share to Skedoff from other apps

Happy to talk through the local Wi-Fi sync approach if anyone's done something similar. And if you're building offline-first tools — always interested in how others handle the "no cloud" constraint without losing users.
