Spotlight

You're already living your content. Spotlight helps you notice it.

Drop this week's photos. Answer one question out loud. Your own words land in Buffer, one post per channel.

Try a sample week

For the potter, the barber, the florist, the tailor, the yoga teacher, the plant shop and the home baker.

How it works

Follow one photo, a half-finished bowl, from the camera roll to Buffer.

  1. 1Drop the week's photos

    The ones already on your phone. Messy ones included. The bowl is in there somewhere.

  2. 2Answer out loud

    Spotlight notices the 3 to 5 moments worth sharing and asks one specific question about each. You talk for ten seconds.

  3. 3Your words land in Buffer

    One post per channel, fitted to each network's limits. Save it as a draft, queue it, or keep it as a Buffer Idea.

Spotlight never writes for you.

It notices, it asks and it tidies. The post is what you said, without the ums.

  • Noticesthe moments in your week that are worth sharing.
  • Asksone specific question about each.
  • Tidiesthe filler, and fits each network's character limit.
  • InventsNever. No made-up facts, prices or claims.
  • SellsNever. No marketing voice.

The kind of thing it asks

  • Which flavour disappears first?
  • Who's this regular?
  • Black Friday in 15 days: are you doing anything, or deliberately skipping it?

What you said

Um so matcha Oreo, every single time. I almost didn't make it like because I thought matcha was too niche, you know, and now people message me just to ask if it's in the box.

Three fillers out. Every other word is yours.
