Foundry (runfoundry.app)

Foundry is a tool that lets your AI agent publish short-form videos from real iPhones you own—using the official Instagram, TikTok, and YouTube Shorts apps. It runs on your Mac, plugs into your iPhone(s), and handles each post end-to-end, including warm-ups and verification afterward.

Workflow is built around your agent (Claude Code, Codex, or Cursor). You queue the clip and caption, then Foundry puts the clip into the phone’s camera roll, opens the correct app/account, types the caption, and reads it back before sharing anything. After publishing, Foundry checks the result on each platform and generates a receipt with what it verified (such as changes in post counts or the posted short), so you have proof every post went out.

Foundry includes automation reliability features: it clears pop-ups on its own, retries failed posts 20 minutes later, and avoids double-posting. Accounts aren’t counted for pricing, and passwords stay on the phone rather than being stored elsewhere. Foundry is designed for people who already have the iPhones and want proof, not just scheduling.

Plans are priced per iPhone, with 7 days free. Solo is $20/month (Founding 50 price $20) for 1 iPhone and 1 Mac; Fleet is $40/month (Founding 50 price $40) for up to 8 iPhones and 2 Macs; Studio is $75/month (Founding 50 price $75) for up to 30 iPhones and 5 Macs. The Founding 50 half-off offer applies until Oct 31, and more than 30 iPhones can be discussed with the team.

What does Foundry post, and where does it publish?

Foundry posts Instagram Reels, TikToks, and YouTube Shorts from your iPhones, using the official apps.

How does the posting process work with my AI agent?

Your agent (Claude Code, Codex, or Cursor) queues the clip and caption, then Foundry transfers the clip to the iPhone camera roll, opens the right app/account, types and read-backs the caption, and publishes.

What proof do I get that a post actually went out?

Foundry verifies the result after publishing (for example, checking Instagram post counts, YouTube Shorts visibility, and TikTok’s posted screen) and creates a receipt for each post with what it checked.

Does Foundry retry if something fails mid-post?

Yes. Foundry retries failed posts 20 minutes later and is designed to never double-post.

Does Foundry count how many accounts I’m running?

No—pricing is per iPhone. You can run every account on each phone included in your plan.

What are the pricing and trial details?

Every plan includes 7 days free (card required; you’re not charged before it ends). Solo is $20/month for 1 iPhone, Fleet is $40/month for up to 8 iPhones, and Studio is $75/month for up to 30 iPhones, with Founding 50 half-off until Oct 31.
