What you get

Scheduling that's smarter than a spreadsheet

Per-platform prime times

YouTube and X audiences are active at different hours. Configure separate prime time slots for each platform — e.g. YouTube at 8am/12pm/5pm, X at 9am/12pm/3pm/6pm.

Sequential slot assignment

Clips are assigned to the next available prime-time slot in order — no two clips post at the same time, and the minimum gap between posts is respected automatically.

Upload Now option

Want to bypass the schedule and post immediately? Hit "Upload Now" on any clip and it goes live within minutes, skipping the queue.

Overdue detection & alerts

If a scheduled clip hasn't posted 30 minutes after its scheduled time, it's flagged as overdue in the dashboard — with one-click re-enqueue to fix it.

Configurable minimum gap

Set a minimum gap between posts (default: 4 hours) to avoid flooding your followers. Slots are assigned respecting this gap automatically.

Schedule visibility in dashboard

See every scheduled clip in the upload queue with its exact post time, platform, and status — full visibility into what's going out and when.

How it works

How smart scheduling works

01

Prime time configuration

You configure your preferred publishing windows per platform in Settings — e.g. YouTube at 8:00, 12:00, 17:00, 20:00 and X at 9:00, 12:00, 15:00, 18:00, 21:00. A minimum gap between posts prevents over-posting.

YouTube: 4 slots/day configured
02

Sequential slot assignment

When clips are ready to schedule, the system walks through your prime times in order — assigning each clip to the next available slot that is (a) in the future and (b) at least min_gap_hours from any already-scheduled clip.

03

pgmq-powered delivery

Each scheduled upload row is enqueued into pgmq (a Postgres message queue) with a delay matching the scheduled time. At the scheduled moment, the worker dequeues it and triggers the upload — reliably, even if the worker was offline when the message was created.

Queue: 9 messages with delays set

Flexible workflow

Auto-schedule everything or set times manually

Let the system fill your calendar, or pick exact times for individual clips.
