A local desktop app and marketing site for Kyrelo — the open-source, community-driven Buffer alternative for X.

Why?

Buffer's status page is a working-day fixture. Multi-hour outages, ~97% uptime over the last quarter. When the scheduling layer is someone else's cloud, it breaks at exactly the moments you need it up.

Kyrelo runs entirely on your machine. No backend, no SaaS account, no shared infrastructure.
