I use it to automate posts. I specifically love the mcp setup it has. I can create content with Claude and schedule it to buffer directly from Claude itself. Either way 9-5 it gets super busy and I cannot spend time every hour on X. So I have to automate some posts. It’s pretty useful. There is also a kanban board view that helps with organizing ideas.

We’re working on bringing @buffer to macOS!
I’ve been rebuilding our iOS app in SwiftUI, so we can now bring Buffer to entirely new platforms without much effort, including macOS and visionOS!
Join the macOS TestFlight and give it a spin! 👀

Mike (@Mike_Eck) from our marketing team has been using Buffer as a marketer for more than 12 years. These are the analytics features he relies on every month 👇
🔌 Claude connector
Mike plans his content in Claude, pulling his Buffer data into the conversation through our MCP (it works with ChatGPT and others too). His starting prompt each month:
“Plan a month’s worth of content for my LinkedIn and Threads profiles. Start by pulling my Buffer data from the past year and tell me what’s resonating the most.”
Claude then helps him put together a rough plan for the month.
💓 Weekly Pulse
Social moves fast, so plans change. The Weekly Pulse shows how many posts he’s shared that week, how follower growth is tracking, and how much engagement he’s getting, which makes it easy to adjust on the fly.
🏷️ Tags
Mike tags every launch post when he schedules it, then filters by that tag in Insights to see how those posts performed as a group. All our Substack Notes launch posts are tagged this way, and because each launch has its own tag, he can compare launches against each other.
📊 Reports
Results only help if someone sees them. Mike exports reports to share campaign performance with our product and leadership teams, usually as a PNG snapshot since it’s the fastest way to share a win in Slack. CSV, PDF, and Markdown exports are there too.
Buffer Insights tracks follower growth, engagement, and impressions across 11 networks, and it’s available on every plan, including free.

spent the weekend building a Chrome extension on top of @buffer's API.
it’s a little companion app in your browser’s side panel: capture ideas, write posts, check your queue and schedule, without leaving the page you’re on.
