Bluesky scheduler
Schedule Bluesky posts and threads
Batch a week of Bluesky in one sitting. Write your posts and threads, drop them on the calendar, and Contently publishes them automatically through the official Bluesky API. Even while you sleep.
Every Bluesky format, scheduled
If you can post it on Bluesky, you can schedule it in Contently.
Posts
Schedule a single post with up to 300 characters and as many as four images. Everything Bluesky lets you post, planned ahead.
Threads
Write a whole thread and schedule it as one. Contently posts the first, then adds each reply in order, so the thread builds itself at the right time.
Cross-post with X
A lot of people post the same thing to Bluesky and X. Write it once in Contently and send it to both, each within its own limits.
Limit-aware composer
Bluesky rejects a whole thread if any part is over 300 characters. Contently counts as you type and flags it first, so that never happens on publish.
Four steps
How to schedule Bluesky posts
- 1
Connect your Bluesky account
Link your Bluesky account in a couple of clicks with an app password. Contently publishes through the official Bluesky API, so your account stays safe.
- 2
Write your post
Write a single post or a full thread in Lemon Studio, add images, and check it against the limit. You can even draft posts from Claude or ChatGPT.
- 3
Pick a time
Drop the post on your calendar, or add it to the queue and let it fill your schedule. Analytics shows when your followers are actually online.
- 4
Let it publish
Contently posts it for you, threads in the right order. Then track how it did without opening the app.
One place for Bluesky
Built for how you actually post
Content calendar
See your whole week in one view
Plan your Bluesky posts next to everything else. Gaps are obvious, so you keep the account alive on the days you'd otherwise go quiet.
Drag and drop. Move a post to a new day and it's rescheduled. No forms, no fuss.
Queue it. Set your posting times once and Contently slots new posts into the next open spot.
Every account together. All your Bluesky accounts, plus every other platform, on the same calendar.
Lemon Studio
Write once, post everywhere
Turn one idea into a Bluesky post, a tweet and a Threads post from one screen. Contently checks each platform's character limit as you write.
Cross-post threads. Post the same thread to Bluesky, X and Threads, each within its own limits.
AI when you want it. Draft posts with AI, or publish straight from Claude, ChatGPT, or any MCP client.
Limit-aware. Bluesky allows 300 characters and rejects the whole thread if one part is over. Contently catches it first.
Engage inbox
Keep up with the replies
Engage pulls your replies and mentions into one inbox alongside every other platform, so a post that takes off doesn't leave the conversation hanging.
One inbox. Replies and mentions from every account, together in one place.
Reply faster. Answer from Contently instead of hopping between apps.
Stay in the conversation. Bluesky is a chatty network. Engage makes keeping up quick.
Why schedule Bluesky posts in advance?
Bluesky moves fast, and staying visible means posting often and joining conversations. Doing both live, all day, is exhausting. Scheduling lets you batch your posts and threads when you have the ideas, and Contently drips them out so you can spend your live time actually replying.
Post often without living in the app
Bluesky is a fast, conversational feed where showing up regularly is what builds an audience. Trying to post in the moment keeps pulling you back into the timeline. Scheduling breaks the loop: write a batch in one focused session, spread it across the week, and your presence holds steady while your attention goes elsewhere.
Post when your followers are online
There's no single best time that works for everyone. Your best window is when your own followers are active, and that shifts by audience and timezone. Contently's analytics shows your best posting times per channel, so you schedule into real windows instead of guessing from generic charts.
Scheduling doesn't cost you reach
Posts published through the official Bluesky API behave exactly like posts you send by hand. Bluesky's feed is largely chronological, so posting into the windows when your followers are around matters even more, and that's exactly what scheduling into your best times lets you do.

- The 300-character limit is strict: Bluesky rejects the whole thread if any part is over, so Contently checks each part before publishing.
- You connect with a Bluesky app password, not your main password, so your account stays secure.
Post to every platform, not just Bluesky
Contently publishes to Bluesky, X, Threads, LinkedIn, Instagram, TikTok, Facebook, Pinterest and YouTube. Write your post once, customize it per platform, and fill nine calendars in the time one used to take.
