And that’s where Grids, a new Instagram client app from Think Time Creations that just hit the Mac App Store, comes into play. Sure, Instagram itself offers a more or less serviceable desktop functionality, but it lacks a certain intuitiveness and ease of use, not to mention charm and style. Though, I do recommend checking out Winsta (opens in new tab) as another Instagram alternative.Instagram may be among the most widely adopted imaging social networks, but there’s a limitation to the app’s presentation, especially if you often move back and forth between mobile devices and a desktop or laptop computer. In comparison, Grids feels more refined, almost like a native client for Instagram. Winsta can upload content directly from your PC, but when you upload content it shows you what looks like an error message telling you that you can leave the page and that the app will tell you if the upload works.

Winsta also looks nice and I really love how it incorporates the Fluent Design language into Instagram, but in my experience, uploading felt wonky. In the past, I've used another Instagram client called Winsta. You can also direct message people or view and upload stories.

Grid supports notifications, likes, comments, following, searching, and exploring. Many other programs that allow you to post directly from your PC also only allow posting and don't have any of Instagram's other features. Some of the other options to upload content straight from your PC to Instagram are old or clunky. I used to work in marketing, and I had to post a lot of content across social media platforms.
