A production-grade Android automation project that creates, schedules, and publishes high-quality Threads posts at scale. This Threads Post Generator streamlines creative workflows by drafting variations, auto-inserting hashtags/mentions, and posting from multiple accounts/devices—reducing manual effort while improving posting consistency and reach.
Created by Appilot, built to showcase our approach to Automation!

##Introduction
This repository delivers an end-to-end system to ideate, compose, and publish posts on Threads from Android real devices and emulators. It automates repetitive content operations—drafting copy, adding media, tagging users/keywords, and scheduling—so teams can focus on strategy and creativity. Businesses benefit from faster execution, consistent brand voice, and measurable growth through repeatable posting.
- Generates post variants (headline, body, CTA) with tokenized templates and spins for A/B testing.
- Attaches images/videos from a managed media queue and inserts dynamic hashtags/mentions by rules.
- Supports scheduled or event-driven posting across multiple Threads accounts.
- Uses device farms (real + emulated) with proxy isolation for parallel, human-like operations.
- Provides audit logs, retries, and performance metrics for reliability at scale.
##Core Features
- Real Devices and Emulators: Run on USB-connected Androids, cloud device farms, or emulators (Bluestacks/Nox). Unified drivers abstract away hardware differences for stable execution.
- No-ADB Wireless Automation: Control devices over LAN/Wi-Fi via Appilot’s wireless channel; ideal for large racks where ADB cables are impractical and detectable.
- Mimicking Human Behavior: Randomized delays, natural scrolling/typing cadence, and UI perturbations reduce detection while preserving throughput.
- Multiple Accounts Support: Account vault with per-profile cookies/sessions, isolated storage, and per-account posting schedules and quotas.
- Multi-Device Integration: Distribute jobs across 10–1000 devices with a task queue; automatic back-pressure and health checks.
- Exponential Growth for Your Account: Cadenced posting, smart hashtagging, and best-time scheduling compound reach and follower growth.
- Premium Support: Priority bug fixes, onboarding assistance, and scaling guidance for mobile farms.
- Template-Driven Post Generation: Tokenized content templates with variables for product names, promos, UTM links, and regionalization.
- Media Pipeline & Asset Rules: Attach images/videos from curated folders; validate dimensions/length; fallbacks for missing media.
- Smart Hashtag & Mention Engine: Rank hashtags by performance; auto-mention collaborators or brand handles by rules.
- Scheduler & Calendaring: CRON-like schedules, time-zone aware posting, and blackout windows.
- Retry, Resume & Watchdog: Re-run failed steps (upload, caption paste, publish tap) with stateful checkpoints and watchdog recovery.
- Analytics Hooks: Export post IDs, timestamps, impressions/engagement (when available) to CSV/JSON/Webhooks.
- Stealth & Proxy Support: Residential/mobile proxy rotation per device/account to reduce correlation.
| Feature | Description |
|---|---|
| Content Spin Variants | Generate N variations per prompt/template; auto-pick winner by engagement or rotate evenly. |
| Queue & Rate Limiting | Per-account/device quotas, TTL, and concurrency controls to respect platform limits. |
| Form Filler & Clipboard Guard | Safe clipboard writes for captions; fallback to simulated typing for sensitive fields. |
| Best-Time Planner | Learns optimal posting windows from engagement logs and schedules accordingly. |
| Compliance Rules | Enforce max length, banned words, and regional policies before publish. |
| Observability | Structured logs, screenshots, and device session recordings for audits and debugging. |
- Input or Trigger — Launch via the Appilot dashboard: select accounts/devices, choose templates, upload media, and define schedule or immediate post.
- Core Logic — The controller orchestrates UI flows through UI Automator/Appium (or wireless control), navigating Threads, opening composer, pasting or typing captions, attaching media, and setting visibility.
- Output or Action — The system publishes posts, records post identifiers/URLs when available, and emits events to webhooks or a results store.
- Other functionalities — Built-in retry logic, error screenshots, rotating proxies, structured logging, and parallel workers ensure resilience and speed.
- Language: Kotlin, Java, JavaScript, Python
- Frameworks: Appium, UI Automator, Espresso, Robot Framework, Cucumber
- Tools: Appilot, Android Debug Bridge (ADB), Appium Inspector, Bluestacks, Nox Player, Scrcpy, Firebase Test Lab, MonkeyRunner, Accessibility
- Infrastructure: Dockerized device farms, Cloud-based emulators, Proxy networks, Parallel Device Execution, Task Queues, Real device farm

## Use Cases
- **Social media managers** use it to generate and publish daily Threads content across multiple brands, so they can maintain consistency without manual posting.
- **E-commerce teams** use it to announce product drops with media and hashtags, so they can boost discovery and conversions.
- **Agencies** use it to run multi-account campaigns on parallel device farms, so they can scale delivery for many clients.
- **Solo creators** use it to queue weekly content in one sitting, so they can focus on creation, not logistics.
## FAQs
**How do I configure this for multiple accounts?**
Add account profiles to `config/devices.yaml` and secure tokens to `config/credentials.env`. The scheduler assigns posts per profile with isolated storage and quotas.
**Does it support proxy rotation or anti-detection?**
Yes. Configure residential/mobile proxies in `settings.yaml`. Each device/account can bind to a unique proxy, with rotation intervals and health checks.
**Can I schedule periodic runs?**
Use CRON expressions in the Appilot dashboard or `scheduler.py`. Define windows (e.g., best-time planner) and blackout periods to avoid over-posting.
**What happens if posting fails midway?**
The watchdog triggers a recovery flow: refresh app, reopen composer, and retry the failing step with exponential backoff. Failures are logged with screenshots.
## Performance & Reliability Benchmarks
- **Execution Speed:** 1–2 posts per device per minute (caption + media), depending on media size and device class.
- **Success Rate:** ~95% end-to-end publish success under normal network conditions with retries enabled.
- **Scalability:** Proven architecture for 300–1000 Android devices using distributed queues and wireless control.
- **Resource Efficiency:** Controller runs on modest CPU/RAM; workers scale horizontally; media pre-validation reduces wasted attempts.
- **Error Handling:** Structured logs, step-level checkpoints, retry/backoff, proxy failover, and alerting via webhooks/Slack.
