Hit 'Check Availability' and then 'View Profile on Instagram' to open the username's potential Instagram page in a new tab.
Check the result

Post bridge is the best investment i've made in months. It's simple and works, exactly what i was searching to handle multiple channels.
heyo! it's jack
(the guy who made post bridge)
last year i was spending over 1 hour every single day posting the same content across all platforms.
going from one app to another, then switching accounts multiple times, switching back and forth… it sucked.
and what also sucked was the existing tools that i needed… they were way too expensive ($150-$300/month) for my needs and way too damn complex.
i needed something lightweight and simple, something affordable.
i searched far and wide but couldn't find what i needed, so i built it myself. and thats how i made post bridge
turns out thousands of others, like you, are just like me! so i made it into a business
since then i've used post bridge daily to grow my own mobile app (now at 100k+ downloads) and to generate 100M+ views just on my accounts alone
all while spending less time than ever managing my socials, using post bridge.
and there are 1000+ founders using it to save hours every week too
