Most creators pay for three tools to run their social media. One to schedule and post. One to design graphics. One to edit video. Three logins, three subscriptions, three tabs open at once. Synapse puts all three in one app, starting at $19 a month.
That is the whole pitch. If you post to more than a couple of platforms, you already feel the tax of juggling separate tools. This is how you put it down.
The stack most creators are quietly paying for
Run the numbers on a typical setup and it adds up fast:
- A scheduler to post and plan across platforms
- A design tool for thumbnails, carousels, and quote graphics
- A video editor to trim and caption clips before they go out
- A background remover or extra plugin for cut-outs
Paying for each of these separately can run well past $50 a month once you add them up, and every one is its own app to learn and keep open. The cost is not only money. It is the friction of exporting from one tool, re-uploading to the next, and switching context every time you want to ship one post.
Synapse collapses that stack into a single subscription and a single window.
One app, three jobs
1. The cross-poster
Write your post once, pick which connected accounts to send it to, attach media, and publish. Synapse sends it to each platform and tracks the result per account, so you can see exactly what posted and what did not.
You can connect X, LinkedIn, Bluesky, YouTube, and Pinterest today, with more networks rolling out. Synapse is built to publish to nine platforms in total. When a caption needs to differ, you set per-platform overrides in the composer: a punchy hook for X, a longer version for LinkedIn, the core caption everywhere else. Write once, adjust where it matters.
2. The design Studio
This is where Synapse stops being just a scheduler. The built-in Studio is a full design suite, so you never have to leave to make the graphic. It includes:
- Designer — crop, resize, and add text for thumbnails, covers, and posts
- Background Remover — cut out the subject in one click
- Collage Maker — combine several photos into one image
- Filters & Effects — adjust color, light, and tone
- Watermark — brand your media with a logo
- Templates — start from a ready-made layout instead of a blank canvas
- GIF Maker — turn short clips into looping GIFs
Everything you make in Studio exports straight into your media library, ready to attach to a post. No downloading, no re-uploading.
3. The video editor
Short-form is where most reach lives now, so the editor is built in too. Trim, crop, rotate, and add text and music, then export a clip that is ready to post. There is also a 2x2 Grid Video tool that turns four images into a checklist-style video, and a File Converter for images (JPG, PNG, WebP), video (MP4), and audio (M4A). You do not need a separate editor to get a clip ready for Reels or Shorts.
The calendar and the plan
A single post is nice. A visible plan is what keeps you consistent. Synapse gives you a monthly calendar so you can see the whole month at a glance and schedule ahead. Set a time, and Synapse auto-publishes for you, even while you sleep or travel.
When you want to fill a week in one sitting, the bulk scheduling tools let you write and schedule many posts at once. Batch on Sunday, let it run all week. That is the workflow that makes consistency a system instead of a daily grind.

Who this is for
Synapse fits best if you post short-form across three or more platforms and feel the copy-paste tax every day. Solo creators who are tired of paying for and switching between separate tools. Small teams and agencies who want scheduling, design, and video in one place their whole team can use.
It is built by a solo founder in Singapore, in public. The platforms connect through direct APIs, not a reseller wrapper, which is part of how the price stays low.
