Karos for app makers
Your app is something people see. Your marketing should show it.
Karos turns your screens and your updates into Instagram carousels and X posts, in your app's colours. You approve each one before it goes out.

Showing beats telling
You make an app for people, not for companies. People find apps three ways: the store, a friend, or a post that showed the app doing one useful thing. The store is crowded and a friend is luck. The post is the part you can work on.
App marketing is mostly showing: the one screen that saves time, a before and after, a short note when an update lands. The material is already on your phone. Turning it into a post every day is the part that never happens.
Karos makes those posts from your site and your updates, in your colours, and puts them in front of you each day to approve.
Where your buyers are
People browse the apps they would use here. A carousel walks through the app one screen at a time.
You post it, until Meta clears us.
Where you tell early users and other builders what changed in each update.

A page Karos hosts with your store links and a tracked link for each post, so you can see which post sent people.

A short video of the app in use is the clearest demo there is. Karos clips a recording, edits your video or makes one from scratch.
Ready for you to post.
Left out, and why
- LinkedIn. Nobody shops for a consumer app at work. If your app is for teams, it comes back in.
The goal to pick
Goal: More visibility
An app grows by being seen, again and again, by the people who would use it.
For a consumer product Karos leads with Instagram. Name X too and it joins the plan, at the number of posts you set. TikTok videos come ready for you to post.
How the goal turns into a plan: How it works.

A short film of the daily review: the X post is approved, the LinkedIn post gets Not this one, the Reddit reply is approved, and the review is done for the day.
A sample week
Sample drafts for a made-up meal-planning app for iOS and Android. Made up to show the shape, not a customer's posts. Each one waits in your daily review, where you approve, edit or pass it.

What Karos does not do
- Karos does not manage your App Store or Play Store listing, its screenshots or its keywords.
- It does not read App Store Connect or the Play Console, so it does not count installs.
- Instagram posts publish by themselves only on accounts connected through our Meta app, while Meta reviews the connection. Otherwise you download the approved post and publish it.
- TikTok videos come ready for you to post. You download the approved video and post it from your own account.
- Install ads are not available. Paid ads are coming soon.
Questions
- Does Karos post to Instagram by itself?
- Only on accounts connected through our Meta app, while Meta reviews the connection. Otherwise you download the approved post and publish it yourself.
- Does Karos post to TikTok by itself?
- Not yet. You download the approved video and post it from your own TikTok account.
- Does Karos count downloads?
- No. It does not read App Store Connect or the Play Console. It counts reach and engagement on connected accounts, and views and requests on the pages it hosts.
- What does it cost?
- Starter is $29 a month with 10,000 credits. Pro is $199 a month with 150,000 credits. Enterprise is priced by conversation: unlimited seats, extra credits, enhanced support and new features first. Starter and Pro start with a free preview before you pay, and you can cancel any time.
