§ 02 · a note from elpharie

It's just me, building carefully.

Hi, I'm Elpharie. I started Pebi Studios because I couldn't find exactly what I wanted, or the UX made me want to throw my laptop out the window... So I decided to give it a try.

Everything is local-first: code on my server, your data on your machine. Pay once for solo, subscribe for team collaboration OR play around with what I have cooking for free in Pebi Labs.

If something here helps you, great!

Thanks for stopping by. ♡

Pebi Content Planner

A drag-and-drop content calendar for social media and blog drops. Six calendar views and real-time team collaboration when you need it. Pay once for solo with your data on your machine, or subscribe for the team plan with cloud sync. The planner I built because the rented ones never quite fit.

What's inside

  • Drag-to-schedule calendar in six views (Today, Week, Month, Year, List, Board)
  • Built-in support for Instagram, TikTok, X, Threads, LinkedIn, Facebook, YouTube, Pinterest, blogs, and newsletters
  • Captions with hashtags, mentions, and platform character limits
  • Per-drop file attachments stored on your machine
  • Export to .ics, .csv, or .json

What "local-first" means

Your data lives on your machine in a plain JSON file for Solo, or in Pebi's encrypted cloud for Team collaboration. Either way, you can export at any time and your files come with you.

more shipped products will stack here as they're released.
