Foundry posts Instagram Reels, TikToks and YouTube Shorts from iPhones connected to a Mac. It uses the official mobile apps rather than APIs, cloud phones or rented accounts, and accounts are priced per iPhone rather than per account.

An agent queues the video, caption, account and timing through a command-line tool and agent skill used with Claude Code, Codex or Cursor. Foundry drives the app on the phone, reads the caption back before sharing, checks that the post went live, and writes a receipt with the result. It also handles common interruptions, retries some failed posts and avoids double-posting.

## Features

- **Multi-platform posting**: Post to Instagram, TikTok and YouTube Shorts from the official apps on real iPhones.
- **Post verification receipts**: Checks platform-specific results and records a receipt with the outcome and screenshots or checks.
- **Agent-driven operation**: A command-line tool and agent skill work with Claude Code, Codex or Cursor on the Mac.
- **Account warm-ups**: Runs warm-ups for accounts and paces posting per account.
- **Interruption handling**: Clears common prompts, retries a failed post after 20 minutes, and avoids sending a post twice.
- **Fleet dashboard**: Shows posts from the connected phones and the checks Foundry performed afterwards.

## FAQ

### What do I need to use Foundry?

A Mac that stays on with Xcode 15 or newer, an Apple Developer team, iPhones on iOS 17 or newer, and a USB cable or powered hub for each phone. You sign in to Instagram, TikTok and YouTube on each phone yourself.

### How does the agent run Foundry?

Paste the setup brief from the dashboard into Claude Code, Codex or Cursor on the Mac. The command-line tool and agent skill install, activate and run Foundry day to day.

### Does Foundry use APIs or cloud phones?

No. Foundry drives Instagram, TikTok and YouTube through their official apps on iPhones plugged into your Mac.

### Will my accounts get banned?

Foundry does not promise that accounts will not be banned. It uses official apps on real iPhones, paces posts and warm-ups per account, and only taps what it has read on the screen.

### Does Foundry store social passwords?

No. You log in on each phone once. Foundry says it never sees or stores a social password, and clips stay on your Mac.

### What happens when a post fails?

Foundry retries a post that fails before it goes out after 20 minutes. If the post button was pressed but the result cannot be confirmed, it does not send the post again.

### How does the free trial work?

Every plan starts with 7 days free. A card is required, nothing is charged before the trial ends, and cancellation is available from the dashboard in one click.

### What if the first post never goes out?

If a first post with a receipt cannot be published within 14 days of the first charge, Foundry says it will refund the charge in full through the support form.
