Before you begin
A signed-in workspace. If this installation is new, complete Protect your new workspace first.
Steps
Open Settings → Posting routine → Edit posting routine. Choose your timezone, add usual posting times if useful, and leave the daily goal off or choose your own target. Select Save posting routine.
Write one draft and wait for Saved to workspace. Use Post now for the manual X handoff. Manual writing and posting need no developer app or AI connection.
For writing help, fill Settings → Writing style and Assistant → Personal preferences. Save each form, then choose Write in OwnPost with your OpenAI/Anthropic API key or Use my AI assistant with a compatible MCP client from the AI writing guide.
For phone reminders, turn on push notifications in Settings → Notifications (on iPhone, first add OwnPost to your Home Screen) or connect Telegram in Settings → Connections. Choose categories, quiet hours and a daily limit in Choose what reaches you. Save the preferences and send a test.
For direct publishing, connect and test X in Settings → Connections → X publishing. Enable the required features, then review and approve each post before API delivery. Set up an external AI schedule separately if you want recurring preparation.
Use Settings → Account & data and choose Accounts, Appearance, Security or Backups. Accounts manages X profiles; Security contains your password, authenticator, sessions and recovery codes; Backups contains content backups, restore and exports. Keep recovery codes and downloaded backups somewhere outside the app.
A practical example
A simple starting setup is your own timezone, two weekday Posting Slots and one topic category. Save a draft before adding an optional connection so you can verify each change independently.
Check the result
Your timezone is saved, your first draft reopens, and every optional connection you enabled has passed its own test.
Troubleshooting
Each form has its own save action. Reopen the setting and check its saved value if unsure. Use each connection’s own test to verify access before depending on it.
