Tools

Software for the distribution work itself — not for building.

Scheduling, screenshots, demo video, analytics and outreach. Only tools with a free tier or a one-off price — nothing here assumes a marketing budget.

  1. Typefully

    typefully.com
    schedulingx

    Writing and scheduling for X threads, with a preview that matches what actually posts. The free tier covers a solo founder posting a few times a week.

  2. schedulingmulti-platform

    Schedules to several networks at once from one queue. Useful once you are posting the same build update to three places and resenting it.

  3. Screen Studio

    www.screen.studio
    demovideopaid

    Screen recording with automatic zoom and smooth cursor motion. One-off purchase, macOS only, and the single biggest quality jump available for demo clips.

  4. OBS Studio

    obsproject.com
    demovideofree

    Free, open source, every platform, steep learning curve. The answer when Screen Studio is not an option.

  5. Plausible

    plausible.io
    analyticsprivacy

    Lightweight, cookie-free web analytics with a single readable dashboard. Enough to tell you which of these channels actually worked.

  6. emailtransactional

    Transactional email that deliverability-wise behaves itself, with a free tier that comfortably covers a launch.

  7. designcarousel

    Fastest route to a LinkedIn carousel or an OG image if you do not design. The templates are obvious but nobody outside your industry notices.

  8. Hunter

    hunter.io
    outreachemail

    Finds and verifies email addresses for outreach. Verify before sending — bounces damage your sending domain far more than a missed contact costs you.
