Task Ant
Task Ant is a free, browser-based hashtag generator and Instagram guide site. Its generator builds ready-to-paste sets for Instagram, TikTok, and YouTube Shorts from curated pools. A directory covering about 100 niches groups hand-picked hashtags into broad, mid, and niche tiers. Additional tools include a banned hashtag checker and a caption-and-hashtag counter. Task Ant does not display usage counts because Instagram does not provide a public API for them. The tools run in the browser without social-account credentials, and typed inputs are not sent to Task Ant’s servers. Some tools may store recent inputs in local browser storage, which users can clear. The site says it uses HTTPS, limits access to logs and email, does not sell or rent personal information, and currently runs no ads. Its homepage uses Google Analytics and cookies. Hashtag pages are reviewed at least quarterly, while guides are re-verified when Instagram changes a covered feature. Email support prioritizes corrections and problem reports, but response time is not guaranteed. The free plan costs nothing and requires no account.
