The Flume interface is very slick and there are lots of ways to customize the app’s look and feel to suit your preferences. I don’t normally get excited about computer apps but Flume is one of the best I’ve seen in a long time. I would recommend purchasing the Pro version…it’s only $10…which gives you all of the functionality of the app, including the ability to post directly from your Mac as well as running multiple Instagram accounts. Right now, as far as I know, the app is only available to Mac users although there could be a Windows version in the works.

There is a free version as well as a Pro version which you purchase. Well, now there is the Flume app which not only makes posting to Instagram from your Mac desktop or laptop easy but also offers even more functionality than you get with Instagram running on a phone or tablet. And, even then, you couldn’t access all of the functionality that the Instagram app on your phone offered. At the time, there was really only one workaround that required tricking your desktop or laptop into thinking it was a phone by using the developer mode on your browser and messing around with some source code. A few years ago I wrote a blog post about the circuitous route that Instagram users like me were required to take just to post a photo. I also usually shoot all of my photos in RAW on a DSLR which then requires them to be edited in either Lightroom or Capture One before posting to Instagram which only adds to the problem.

The problem is that I spend most of my day on a desktop or laptop and not on my phone or tablet, which makes posting photos to Instagram a pain.
