Multi-Profile Architecture

Saved Posts Tracker allows you to manage multiple Instagram accounts within a single installation.

The Netflix Profile Model

Just like switching accounts on Netflix, each profile operates with complete independence:

1. Independent Session Cookies: Each profile stores its own Instagram session cookie and user-agent string.
2. Dedicated Avatars: The app automatically fetches the profile's own Instagram avatar and generates a fallback colored tile.
3. Data Scoping: Every database model (Account, Post, AccountEvent, ScrapeRun) is indexed and filtered by profileId.
4. Independent Scraping: Scraping runs and checkpoints are isolated per profile.

Creating a New Profile

1. In the top navigation bar, click on your current profile avatar.
2. Click Add Profile or navigate to /profiles.
3. Fill in:
   • Profile Name: A friendly identifier (e.g. Personal Feed, Brand Inspo).
   • Session Cookie: Extracted from instagram.com (sessionid=...).
   • User-Agent: Matching your browser's user-agent.
4. Save and switch to the new profile.
