YouBuild-in-public
Hook-ledI almost spent $828 this year to schedule LinkedIn posts. Then I did the math on five years of it and built my own instead. Three things I learned shipping it in public 👇

Post every day. Write almost never.
JaloCron is the LinkedIn ghostwriter you own. Drop ideas on a calendar; Claude writes each post in your voice and publishes on time, 24/7, on your own keys and data. Pay once and self-host it — or let us run it for $19/mo. You own the result either way.

The trap
Staying visible meant picking your poison.
Write it all yourself
A blank page, every single day, forever. The advice works right up until the week you get busy. Most people quit by week three.
Rent a $69/mo tool
It holds your data, posts through a login it controls, and runs on AI you could bring yourself. Stop paying and it all goes dark.
There's a third option: your own tool, your keys, one payment — and it does the writing.
See it run
Eleven seconds. That's the whole job.
Add an idea, pick a time, choose your voice. JaloCron takes it from there.
In your voice
It writes like you. Not like a robot.
A guided voice profile and a built-in house style strip out the AI tells. No em-dash soup, no "in today's fast-paced world." Here's the kind of thing it ships, ready to approve or auto-post.
YouContrarian
OpinionMost "personal branding" tools make everyone sound identical. The fix isn't a slicker template. It's writing less, but as yourself. Consistency beats polish, every time.

StoryThree years of posting taught me one thing: consistency beats brilliance. The trick was removing the daily decision. Now a calendar makes it, and I just show up.

How it works
Set it up once. It runs itself.
A guided installer connects your own accounts in about 20 minutes. Then you walk away.
1
Drop ideas on the calendar
One-off slots or repeating schedules, like every Tuesday and Thursday at 9am. Give each a one-line brief.
2
AI writes it in your voice
At each slot it writes from your voice profile, on-brand every time. Add an image, regenerate, or tweak in a tap.
3
It posts. You did nothing.
Auto-publish on schedule, or hold for a one-tap approval. It runs 24/7 in the cloud, so your computer can be off.
Own it, don't rent it
You keep the keys. They keep the meter running.
JaloCron is the only pay-once, self-hosted LinkedIn tool that writes in your voice with Claude — you own the code, the keys, and the data.

Why I built it
“I wanted to stay consistent online without paying $70 a month to a tool that holds my data and posts through a login it controls. So I built JaloCron for myself. Then I made it something anyone can run in an afternoon — on their own keys, posting on its own, owned for good.”

Before you ask
Good questions.
Does joining the waitlist cost anything?
No, the waitlist is completely free. Members just lock in the founding price ($99 instead of $129), get the launch code, and a heads-up the day it opens. No card required now.
Will the AI actually sound like me?
Yes. You set up a guided voice profile, and a built-in house style removes the usual AI tells, so posts read like you wrote them. Every draft can be regenerated or edited in one tap before it goes out.
Is it hard to set up?
No command line. A guided installer opens in your browser and connects your GitHub, Supabase and Vercel with your own logins in about 20–30 minutes. The only manual bits are a free Anthropic key and a LinkedIn app, and we show you exactly how.
What do I need to run it?
Free accounts: GitHub, Supabase and Vercel, plus an Anthropic (Claude) API key and a LinkedIn developer app. It runs on free tiers, so you pay only your own AI usage, typically a few cents per post.
Do I have to self-host it?
No. Two ways: self-host and pay once (it runs on your own Vercel and Supabase, and you own everything), or let us host it for $19/month — you still bring your own Claude key and own your data, and you can move to self-hosting any time.
Is this allowed by LinkedIn?
Yes. JaloCron posts through your own LinkedIn app using the official API. It never logs in as you or scrapes cookies like the tools that got restricted.
Why pay once instead of a subscription?
You shouldn't rent software that runs on your own keys. You own the code and your data; if you stop, it keeps working. Updates, including new AI models and networks, are included.
What if it's not for me?
There's a 30-day money-back guarantee at launch, no questions asked.
