Stitchable Docs

Stitchable's Publishing feature lets you take a video you built in Stitchable's timeline editor and send it straight to your own social accounts — Bluesky, Instagram, Reddit, TikTok, X, and YouTube today — without leaving the app. It's a "bring your own app" model: you register a small developer app with each platform yourself (a one-time, few-minutes step per platform), Stitchable connects through it, and your access tokens are stored in your own OS keychain, never on a server Stitchable operates.

Every platform connection follows the same shape in Stitchable's connect wizard:

  1. Open the connect wizard from the Publishing page.
  2. Pick the platform you want to connect.
  3. The first time only, paste in that platform's developer app credentials (Client ID / Client secret) — each guide below shows you exactly where to find these.
  4. Click Sign in with <Platform>. A real browser window opens to the platform's own sign-in page — you log in and approve access there, not inside Stitchable.
  5. The wizard finishes automatically the moment you approve. No copying-and-pasting an authorization code.

Bluesky is the one exception to steps 3–5: it needs no developer app or browser sign-in at all, just an app password you generate once.

The same wizard also handles refreshing a connection: if a platform's session expires or is revoked (shown in Stitchable as needs reauth), reopen the wizard, pick that same platform, and go through Sign in with <Platform> again — this replaces the expired session without losing your existing posts or history.

Connect a platform​

  • Bluesky — no developer app needed, just an app password.
  • Instagram — the most involved setup; a Meta Business app, a linked Facebook Page, and a media relay.
  • Reddit — self-serve, instant, text and image posts only (no video yet).
  • TikTok — Sandbox vs. Production credentials are easy to mix up; read this one carefully.
  • X (Twitter) — OAuth 2.0 with PKCE, Read and Write app permissions.
  • YouTube — Google Cloud Console, and you must add yourself as a test user.

If a connection isn't behaving the way you expect, each guide above ends with its own Troubleshooting section covering the errors people actually hit for that platform — most of them platform policy rather than anything wrong with your setup.
