Local or Cloud

Run Statuz free on your own computer, or on Statuz Cloud for always-on publishing, teams and a web composer.

Same commands in both. Only where they run changes.

Local

  • Free. No account, no watermark.
  • Posts and media in ~/.statuz. Tokens in the OS keychain.
  • Publishes straight to each platform.
  • Bluesky and Mastodon need nothing. X and LinkedIn need your own developer app (how).
  • Your computer must be on. Posts more than an hour late are marked missed.
  • Personal computers only; VMs and headless servers are refused.

Cloud

statuz.cloud:

  • Publishes on time, computer on or off.
  • Orgs, teams and roles. Viewers look. Members write posts and change their own. Admins also change anyone's and run the team, keys and settings. Owners also hold billing.
  • Web composer.
  • No developer apps: Cloud uses Statuz's own X and LinkedIn apps.
  • Photos bigger than a platform takes are shrunk for it as they go out; the original stays as it is. Videos and GIFs must fit.
  • API keys for scripts, CI and agents, each with its own role: viewer, member or admin, never owner, so no key touches billing. A key also never does more than the person who made it can today.
  • Each org has a time zone, for times like "tomorrow 9am" that come without one (agents, mostly). It starts as yours; change it in Settings or with statuz cloud org update --timezone America/Sao_Paulo.
  • Holds the tokens, posts and media it needs to publish. See Privacy.

Switch

Terminal
statuz use cloud
statuz use local

Same as statuz config set --key target --value cloud. The CLI, MCP and your agent all follow it. Local and Cloud posts are kept apart.

Which one

  • Local: your computer is on at post time and you want everything on it.
  • Cloud: posts must go out while you sleep, or more than one person posts.
