Social Post Forge — AI-Powered Social Media Post Generator

Features

Everything you need to post consistently

Built for founders, marketers, and creators who want quality drafts without the blank-page paralysis.

🖼

Image or text input

Drop a screenshot, chart, or photo — or just type a rough idea. Post Forge builds a polished post either way.

🎨

Multiple styles, one click

Generate story-driven, listicle, and contrarian versions of the same post simultaneously — compare in tabs.

📜

Custom prompt library

Write and save your own prompts, or use pre-built ones grounded in persuasion frameworks like AIDA, PAS, and Cialdini's principles.

🔌

Bring your own AI

Connect OpenAI, Claude, ZenMux, or a local Ollama model. Your API keys never leave your browser.

📦

Import & export

Share your prompt library as JSON with teammates, or back it up anytime — duplicates auto-numbered, nothing overwritten.

🔒

Privacy-first

No servers, no tracking, no accounts. Everything lives in your browser's local storage.

How it works

From idea to post in three steps

01

Drop in your input

Paste a concept, some notes, or drag an image straight into the side panel.

02

Pick a prompt and styles

Local AI setup

Allow Social Post Forge to connect to Ollama

Set OLLAMA_ORIGINS to allow browser-extension requests, then restart Ollama. Choose your operating system and the scope you need.

⚠️ Important: Using OLLAMA_ORIGINS=* is fine for testing, but read this before using it long-term.

Using * allows requests from any origin. It's the quickest option for local testing and getting started. For better security, configure Ollama to allow only your Chrome extension.

Find your Chrome Extension Origin

Open chrome://extensions
Enable Developer mode
Select Social Post Forge
Copy the Extension ID

Your origin will look like:

chrome-extension://YOUR_EXTENSION_ID

Then configure:

OLLAMA_ORIGINS=chrome-extension://YOUR_EXTENSION_ID

Restricting Ollama to your extension provides significantly better security than allowing every origin.

Windows

PowerShell

Windows PowerShell— □ ×

PS C:\Users\you> $env:OLLAMA_ORIGINS="*"
PS C:\Users\you> ollama serve

Temporary — current session

$env:OLLAMA_ORIGINS="*"

Applies only to the current PowerShell window.

Permanent — current user

[Environment]::SetEnvironmentVariable("OLLAMA_ORIGINS", "*", "User")

Open a new terminal and restart Ollama after running this.

Permanent — everyone

[Environment]::SetEnvironmentVariable("OLLAMA_ORIGINS", "*", "Machine")

Run PowerShell as Administrator. This applies system-wide.

macOS

Terminal

● ● ●Terminal — zsh

you@Mac ~ % export OLLAMA_ORIGINS="*"
you@Mac ~ % ollama serve

Temporary — current session

export OLLAMA_ORIGINS="*"

Permanent — current user

echo 'export OLLAMA_ORIGINS="*"' >> ~/.zshrc
source ~/.zshrc

For Bash, replace ~/.zshrc with ~/.bash_profile.

Permanent — everyone

echo 'export OLLAMA_ORIGINS="*"' | sudo tee -a /etc/zprofile

Requires an administrator password and affects login shells for all users.

Linux

Bash / systemd

Terminal— □ ×

you@linux:~$ export OLLAMA_ORIGINS="*"
you@linux:~$ ollama serve

Temporary — current session

export OLLAMA_ORIGINS="*"

Permanent — current user

echo 'export OLLAMA_ORIGINS="*"' >> ~/.bashrc
source ~/.bashrc

Permanent — system service

sudo systemctl edit ollama

Add the following lines in the editor:

[Service]
Environment="OLLAMA_ORIGINS=*"

Apply the change

sudo systemctl daemon-reload
sudo systemctl restart ollama

Final step: Fully quit and restart Ollama after changing a permanent environment variable. A terminal that was already open may still contain the old environment.

FAQ

Good to know

Do I need my own API key?

Yes — Social Post Forge connects directly to the AI provider you choose (OpenAI, Claude, ZenMux, or a local Ollama instance) using your own API key. This keeps costs transparent and your data private — nothing routes through our servers because we don't have any.

Is my data stored anywhere?

Everything — API keys, prompts, styles, and generated content — is stored locally in your browser using Chrome's storage API. It never touches an external server owned by us.

Can I use this for platforms other than LinkedIn?

Absolutely. While the prompt library ships tuned for professional social content, every prompt is fully editable — adjust tone, length, and structure for X, Instagram captions, Threads, or anywhere else you post.

What if I don't have an OpenAI or Claude subscription?

Use Ollama — it runs AI models locally on your machine for free, with no API key required. Great for testing before committing to a paid provider.

Can I share my custom prompts with my team?

Yes — export your prompt library as a JSON file and share it. When teammates import it, duplicate names are automatically numbered instead of overwritten, so nothing is ever lost.
