Schedule posts to X without living in the app
X rewards being there at the right minute, which is exactly when you’re usually busy. TallyReel lets you write your posts in one sitting, check them against X’s real counting rules, and have each one ready to post in a single tap when it’s due.

Connecting X

When to post
Best time to post on X
X’s timeline moves fast, so a post’s first hour matters more here than almost anywhere else. Weekday commute and lunch windows are the safe starting point; if you post several times a day, spread posts at least a couple of hours apart so they don’t compete with each other.
TallyReel starts every account from the same baseline, weekday peaks at 8 AM, 12 PM, 5 PM, 6 PM, weekend peaks at 10 AM, 11 AM, 7 PM, 8 PM, in your audience’s local time, and after about 20 published posts shifts it toward the hours that actually work for you.

X posts that land
- Lead with the hook in the first 10 words. 1–2 hashtags max.
- Links always count as 23 characters on X, however long the URL is. TallyReel counts them the same way, so you can paste full tracking links without guessing.
- Emoji and flags count as one character each here, not two.
- Put the point of the post before any link, the preview card takes up space and people decide in the first line.
X scheduling FAQ
Can I schedule threads?
Not yet. Each scheduled X post is a single post. If you need a thread today, schedule the opening post and reply to it when it’s live.
How does posting to X work?
TallyReel writes and schedules the post, then reminds you when it’s due. One tap opens X with the text filled in; attach any image or video you downloaded and post.
Why does my long link only count as 23 characters?
Because X shortens every link with its t.co service and charges 23 characters for it. TallyReel’s counter applies the same rule.
What’s the character limit on X?
280 characters. TallyReel counts the way X does, so the number you see is the number X will check.
Is X scheduling free?
Yes, every feature and every network is free while TallyReel is in beta, with no card required. Beta users will get plenty of notice before paid plans start.
