Post to Instagram from your desktop.
Reels, stories and carousels straight from your computer. Real audio from Instagram's own catalogue. Scheduling that actually fires. It lives inside instagram.com, so there's no second app to learn.
No sign-up, and it never asks for your Instagram password.

Nobody else does this
Eleven themes. Even the like button.
Instagram gives you light or dark. InstaDesk restyles the whole site — posts, menus and dialogs — and gives the like button a shape of its own: a star on Galaxy, a coin on Money, a leaf on Sage Garden. It runs in your browser only, so nobody else sees it and your account is untouched.
Two of eleven. The rest: Neon, Aurora, Liquid Glass, Modern, Sand & Clay, Premium, Sage Garden, Nordic Mist and Espresso — each with its own like button.
The part nobody else has
Find the sounds that are actually working.
InstaDesk notes the audio of every reel you scroll past and counts how often each one comes back. A track the feed keeps pushing at you is one that's working right now, in your niche — so instead of guessing, you get a ranked list.
- Momentum, not guesswork. Sounds are ranked by week-over-week sightings, so you can see what's climbing and what's already past it.
- Use this audio, from anywhere. One button attaches the track you're hearing to your next reel and opens the composer.
- Instagram's real licensed audio, credited to its audio page exactly as if you'd added it in the app.
Plan it once
A calendar that fires without you.
Drag posts around a month view, or queue a whole batch at once — one a day, or every few hours. Your media stays on your own machine until the moment it goes out.
- Posts, reels and stories can all be scheduled, not just single photos.
- Nothing is uploaded to a server to wait. There is no server holding your drafts.
- Every fire is written to the activity log, so you can check what went out and when.
Everything else
The tools Instagram's website leaves out.
Publishing is free forever. The tools marked Pro have free uses built in, so you can try each one on your own work before deciding anything.
Download in full quality
Save photos, videos, reels and stories at original resolution — including from the scrolling reels feed, which most tools miss.
ProKnow your audience
See who doesn't follow you back by name, track who left between scans, export to CSV, and flag likely bot followers.
ProA quieter feed
Hide sponsored posts, switch to mobile view, and get a real seek bar on reels. With Pro, watch stories and read messages without being marked as seen.
Mostly freeMusic studio
Lay your own audio over a video before posting. Runs entirely in your browser — nothing is uploaded anywhere.
ProWhy this matters
Nothing happens on your account unless you switch it on.
Plenty of Instagram tools quietly like and follow on your behalf to "grow" your account, and their users find out afterwards. Instagram's rules forbid it, and when they act on it, it's your account that gets restricted — not the tool's. InstaDesk has one growth tool, and it is built to be refusable: off until you turn it on, honest about whose risk it is, and incapable of doing anything it doesn't write down.
- No auto-comment and no automated messaging — not as an option, not present. Liking and following exist only in Grow account: off by default, capped at a limit you can't raise, and stopped on the first push-back from Instagram.
- Every action is written to a built-in activity log — timestamped, on your machine — so you can check what InstaDesk has done rather than trust it.
- It never asks for your Instagram password. It works through the session already in your browser.
- No analytics, no tracking, no accounts. Your content and follower data stay on your computer.
Pricing
Every paid tool has free uses. Posting stays free forever.
No card and no account to create. Every paid tool ships with free uses that don't expire, so you can try each one on your own work first. Publishing costs nothing either way — photos, carousels, reels, stories, link stickers, hashtags in the first comment, and real Instagram audio on your reels. Pro adds the tools that save you the most time.

Questions
Straight answers.
Do you need my Instagram password?
No, and it will never ask. InstaDesk works inside your browser using the Instagram session you're already signed into. There's no login screen, no account to create, and nothing for us to store.
Can this get my account banned?
Not from normal use. Everything InstaDesk does is an action you clicked, at the moment you clicked it, and the activity log keeps the full record. The one exception is Grow account, which can like and follow for you: it is off until you turn it on, capped at a limit you can’t raise, and stops on the first push-back from Instagram. That is the part Instagram’s rules are actually about, so leave it off if you’re unsure.
Is the music real Instagram audio?
Yes. When you attach a track, it's Instagram's own licensed audio, credited to its audio page exactly as if you'd added it in the app. We don't host or serve music files of our own.
Does it work on Mac?
Yes — anywhere desktop Chrome runs, including macOS, Windows, Linux and Chromebooks. Chromium browsers like Edge and Brave work too.
What happens when the free uses run out?
Only that tool stops — each Pro tool has its own count, so spending your downloads doesn’t touch scheduling. There is no trial and no clock: free uses don’t expire, so an unused one is still there in a month. Publishing keeps working free forever — posts, carousels, reels, stories, tagging, link stickers, hashtags in the first comment, attaching real Instagram audio, the ad blocker, mobile view and video controls. Nothing is deleted and no scheduled post is lost.
Is this made by Instagram?
No. InstaDesk is an independent product with no affiliation to Instagram or Meta.
Your Instagram, on a real keyboard.
Free to install, free to publish, and every paid tool has uses you haven't spent yet.
