Answers to the most common questions about the product, hosting, privacy and pricing.
Product
What is Taktify?
Taktify is an open source platform where organizations plan, approve and publish Instagram and TikTok posts together. Organizations form a tree, and posts can be shared from the top down to child organizations.
Which platforms does Taktify support?
Instagram (feed images, carousels with up to 10 items and Reels) and TikTok (video and photo posts with privacy options). Instagram Stories and further platforms are planned, not available.
Which roles exist?
Five fixed roles, applied per organization:
- Viewers see posts, the calendar, channels and members.
- Authors create and edit their own posts, upload media and use the AI.
- Reviewers approve or reject posts.
- Editors combine author and reviewer, edit every post and manage the media library.
- Administrators can do everything, including managing channels, members and settings.
Do posts have to be approved?
Approval is optional per organization. When it is on, posts go to the review queue and reviewers approve them or reject them with a reason. Nobody can approve their own post. Content with AI-generated parts can always go to review, depending on the policy.
How do I share posts with other organizations?
A post can be shared with child organizations. There it is taken over manually, automatically after review or fully automatically, depending on the mode. Reposts cascade through the levels. On Instagram the child organization can appear as a collaborator on the original post instead of publishing a duplicate.
How does the AI assistant work?
Taktify generates text and images with your own key: with any OpenAI-compatible provider, including a local model through your own base URL, and for text with Anthropic. An AI style guide keeps the tone consistent, and an overview shows usage.
What is planned?
Planned are two-factor authentication, custom roles, S3 storage, a comment inbox, moderation, auto replies, analytics, Instagram Stories and further platforms. The roadmap shows the current state.
Is there a public API?
There is currently no documented public customer API.
Hosting and operation

Yes. Taktify runs with Docker Compose and MariaDB on your own infrastructure. You need: Docker Compose, MariaDB 10.6+ or MySQL 8, a public HTTPS address, SMTP. There are no limits on organizations, channels or users.
Can Taktify be run for me?

Which license does Taktify use?

What do I need to back up when self-hosting?
Back up the database, the media folder and the encryption keys together. Without the keys, stored credentials can no longer be read, and channels and AI providers would have to be reconnected.
Privacy and security

How do users sign in?

Can I use Taktify for free?
Yes, if you run it yourself: the MIT license charges nothing and the self-hosted version has no limits. The paid plans can be tried for 14 days.
Are there costs for the AI?
Taktify does not sell AI credits. The AI runs on your own key, and your provider bills you for the usage.
