The Daily Posting Struggle
You know consistency matters. But life gets busy, and manual posting becomes a chore.
Forgetting to Post
You mean to publish at 10 AM but get distracted. By the time you remember, optimal engagement hours have passed.
Decision Fatigue
Every morning: "What time should I post? Did I post yesterday? When was my last note?" The mental overhead adds up.
Inconsistent Presence
Your audience expects you. Gaps in your posting schedule hurt engagement and make growth harder.
One Clean List. Your Entire Schedule.
StackBuddy gives you a streamlined agenda view of your content pipeline. Plan weeks ahead, see everything in chronological order, and never miss a posting slot again.
Write & Edit Easily
Clean, distraction-free editor. Write your note, format it, and assign it to a time slot. Or paste content you've already written elsewhere.
Configure Your Slots
Set up your ideal posting times once. Morning, lunch, evening – whatever works for your audience. Then just drop notes into available slots.
See Everything
Spot gaps instantly in the clean list view. Know what's coming up. Reschedule with a single click. Your entire content pipeline flows chronologically.
How StackBuddy Works
Simple setup, powerful automation. Here's exactly what happens from start to finish.
Connect Your Substack
Enter your Substack publication URL. We'll automatically fetch your publication details, author info, and avatar. Quick one-time setup – takes less than a minute.
Install the Chrome Extension
Download our lightweight Chrome extension. It stays on your computer and handles the actual publishing – no remote servers touching your Substack credentials. You'll need:
- Google Chrome (desktop version)
- To be logged into Substack in Chrome
- One browser window open when scheduled posts should publish
Set Up Your Time Slots
Configure when you typically want to post. Morning at 9 AM? Lunch break at 12:30? Evening at 6 PM? Set these once and they become your default schedule. You can always adjust individual notes later.
Create & Schedule Your Notes
Write your note directly in StackBuddy, or paste content from elsewhere. Click "Add to Queue" and we'll put it in the next available time slot. Want to schedule for a specific day? Pick the date and time. Planning next week? Batch-create 7 notes in one sitting – they'll appear in your clean chronological list.
Automatic Publishing
When the scheduled time arrives, the extension automatically opens Substack in a background tab and publishes your note. No manual intervention needed – you can be in a meeting, on a call, or away from your computer.
⚡ Pro Tip: Keep Chrome open in the background. The extension needs an active browser session to publish. Most users just keep Chrome running 24/7 with StackBuddy pinned.
Built for Serious Substack Writers
Every feature designed to help you show up consistently without burning out.
Chronological Flow
Your queue displayed in clean chronological order. Scroll through days and time slots naturally. No complex grid layouts – just a clear list from today forward.

Publishing happens locally in your browser. We never see your Substack password. The extension never sends your credentials to our servers. Period.

Frequently Asked Questions
How does the Chrome extension work?
The extension runs locally in your browser. When a scheduled time arrives, it opens Substack in a background tab and submits your note – just like you would manually. All publishing happens on your computer. We never store or handle your Substack credentials.
Do I need to keep my computer on 24/7?
You need Chrome running when notes are scheduled to publish. Most users keep a desktop or laptop on with Chrome in the background. If your computer is off at the scheduled time, the note won't publish until Chrome is open again.
Can I schedule posts weeks or months in advance?
Yes! Schedule as far ahead as you want. Many users plan their entire month in advance. The calendar view makes long-term planning simple.
What if I need to change a scheduled note?
Edit the note content anytime before it publishes. Reschedule it to a different time slot with a single click. Remove it from the queue entirely. Full control until the moment it goes live.
Is my content secure?
Your notes are stored securely in our database with industry-standard encryption. But publishing happens entirely in your local browser – we never access Substack on your behalf from our servers.
Can I use StackBuddy for multiple publications?
Currently, StackBuddy supports one publication per account. Managing multiple publications is on our roadmap. Reach out if you need this feature – we prioritize based on demand.
