Frequently asked questions

Does Claude need to stay open for scheduled posts to publish?

No. Scheduled posts publish from Breakreach's servers at the time you chose — you can close Claude, your laptop, everything.

Is this using official APIs?

Yes. Breakreach publishes through YouTube's official API with an authorization you grant explicitly, and you can revoke access at any time. Your password is never shared.

Is it free to try?

Yes — Breakreach comes with a free trial, no long-term commitment. Plans start at $23/month afterwards.

Can I post to other platforms from Claude too?

Yes. The same connector handles Instagram, TikTok, X (Twitter), Reddit, LinkedIn, Facebook and more — one prompt can publish to several platforms at once.

Can I review posts before they go out?

Yes. Ask Claude to schedule drafts, then review and edit everything in the Breakreach calendar before it publishes.
