What to Know

  • Tweetdeck used to be the best option, but it’s no longer available for free.
  • Instead, use the X website: Click thePost button and prepare your post, and then click theCalendar icon.
  • Set the time and date, and then clickConfirm andPost .

This article shows you how to schedule a post on X (formerly Twitter). Instructions apply to the web version.

How to Post on X at a Specific Time and Date

If you won’t be available to post an update at a specific time, or if you want to spread your updates over the course of the day, schedule your posts ahead of time to be sent out automatically whenever you want your posts to be seen.

  1. On the official X website, select thePost button.

What Happened to Tweetdeck?

The best option for pre-writing posts used to be Tweetdeck, a free client that also let you manage several feeds and accounts simultaneously. It also supported scheduling when the Twitter website didn’t.

However, when Twitter became X, Tweetdeck changed to “X Pro.” Unfortunately, it also stopped being free. You can’t use X Pro without an X Premium membership, which has a monthly fee.

Luckily, however, scheduling came to the web version of X, and Tweetdeck/X Pro aren’t necessary.
