Superpowers

# X

Note

X arrives in OmniGet 1.0.1. Version 1.0.0, the one you can download today, does not have it yet.

The X superpower is an X client that works through your own session in OmniGet’s built-in browser. You read and post, and you get tools X does not show in one place: who stopped following you, which posts did best, keyword monitors and a posting schedule.

## Where it is

**Superpowers › X › Open**. The card is always shown: there is no switch for it in **Settings › Integrations**.

After you sign in, the tabs on the left are **Feed**, **Mentions**, **Bookmarks**, **Search**, **Grok**, **My profile**, **Audience**, **Analytics**, **Monitor** and **Schedule**.

## How to use it

1.  Open X and choose **Sign in to X**. OmniGet opens X in its own browser window.
2.  Sign in there by hand, the way you always do. OmniGet never sees your password.
3.  Back in OmniGet, choose **I already signed in** if the screen does not move on by itself, then **Continue**.

The session stays in the OmniGet browser profile, on this computer. You can also import your usual browser profile in the [Global Downloader](https://getomniget.com/docs/global-downloader).

Warning

This uses X’s website the way you would, not an official API. X may ask you to confirm it is you, limit the account or block automated use. Keep the pace human.

## Feed, Mentions, Bookmarks and Search

-   **Feed** has **For you** and **Following**. The box on top posts: write in **What is happening?** and choose **Post**. The counter compares your text with 280 characters.
-   On a post you can **Like**, **Repost**, open the **Replies** and write a reply, **Download the media** (it goes to your download queue, so a download folder must be set in Settings) and **Open in the browser**.
-   **Mentions** lists posts that mention you, and **Bookmarks** your saved posts.
-   **Search** searches posts. X’s operators such as `from:`, `to:` and `since:` work.
-   Click a name to open a profile, with **Follow** or **Unfollow**. **My profile** opens yours.

## Grok

**Grok** is a chat with Grok that answers through your own X account. Type in **Ask Grok anything** and choose **Send**. The list on top switches between **New chat** and your earlier Grok chats, and **Open on X** opens the same chat on the site. On a post, **Ask Grok about this post** starts a chat about it.

## Audience

**Audience** reads your followers and the accounts you follow, and compares each reading with the one before.

1.  Choose **Sync**. The lists are read at a human pace; when the app pauses, choose **Continue**. What was read is saved.
2.  Pick a view: **Don’t follow back**, **Unfollowed you**, **New followers**, **Fans**, **Mutuals**, **Followers**, **Following**, **Inactive**, **Keep list**, **Hidden** or **Trend**.
3.  Narrow it with **Search name, handle or bio**, **Filters** and **Quick filters**. **Save this filter** keeps up to 30 of your own.
4.  On a row, **Unfollow**, **Add to keep list** (those accounts cannot be unfollowed from here until you remove them) or **Hide from the lists**.
5.  **Export CSV** saves the current list.

History starts with your first sync: **Don’t follow back** shows right away, **Unfollowed you** and **New followers** from the second sync on. An unfollow is shown with the two syncs it happened between; the exact moment is not known. **Inactive** means no post in the last 90 days, and each check opens one profile, so accounts are checked a few at a time. There is no bulk unfollow: each one is a single click.

**Follower interests** shows the most frequent words, hashtags and locations in your followers’ bios. **Notify me when a sync finds new unfollowers** shows a desktop notification.

## Analytics

1.  Leave **Account** empty for your own account, or type another public one.
2.  Pick **Posts to read** (20, 50, 100 or 200; 50 by default) and, if you want, **Include replies**.
3.  Choose **Analyze**, then a report: **Summary**, **Posts**, **Best times**, **Media**, **Hashtags**, **Words**, **Trend**, **Outliers** or **Compare**.

**Compare** takes up to 4 competitors on the same number of newest posts. **Export CSV** saves the report and **Create report** writes one HTML file with a Markdown copy. Results are reused for 10 minutes; **Read the posts again** forces a new reading.

Under **More analyses**: **Compare periods**, **Post over time** (the numbers of a post each time the app read it) and **Engagement and draw**, which lists who reposted, quoted or replied to one of your posts and draws winners among them with a seed you can repeat. X shows who liked a post only to its author.

**Since last time** sums up new and lost followers, unread monitor posts, your top post and what is scheduled. **Recommended actions** appear only when the data supports them. Numbers a browser session cannot see, such as reach and demographics, are listed under **What a browser session cannot see** and are never estimated.

## Monitor

1.  Choose **New monitor**, type the **Query (X search operators work)** or open **More filters** (**Exact phrase**, **Exclude words**, **From accounts**, **Minimum likes**, **Language code** and more).
2.  Choose **Save**, then **Check now** or **Check all now**.
3.  Read the **Posts found**, with **Unread only** and **Mark all read**.

The **Mentions inbox** is a built-in monitor. You can keep up to 50 monitors per network. **Check automatically** can be **Off** or every 5, 15, 30 or 60 minutes, and checks run only while this tab is open or when an agent asks for one. **Surge today** appears when today has at least 5 posts and more than 3 times the daily average of the last 7 days, after 3 days of history.

## Schedule

1.  Write under **New post**. **Add thread part** builds a thread of up to 25 parts; you can also fill **Reply to (link or id)**, **Quote (link or id)** or **Post to repost (link or id)**, and **Add image** (up to 4 JPEG, PNG or WebP images of 5 MB each).
2.  Under **When**, choose **Next free slot** or **Pick a time**, then **Schedule** or **Save draft**.
3.  Follow it in **Queue**, **Drafts** and **History**. **Send now**, **Edit**, **Cancel** and **Export calendar** are there.

**Posting slots** holds the days and times you usually post. **Import** reads a CSV with the columns `time` and `text`. **Feeds** posts new items of an RSS feed with your template.

Warning

Posts go out only while OmniGet is open on this computer. A post that came due while it was closed is sent when you open it only if it is within the grace period; after that it is marked **Missed** and waits for you.

## Options

| Option | What it does | Default |
| --- | --- | --- |
| **Grace period for late posts (minutes)** | How late a scheduled post may still be sent after you open the app. | 10 |
| **Long posts** | **Automatic (verified accounts)**, on (up to 4,000 characters) or off (280 characters). | Automatic |
| **Check every (minutes)** | How often an RSS feed is checked. | 60 |
| **Posts per month** | The most posts one feed may publish in a month. | 30 |
| **Check automatically** | Runs your monitors on a timer while the Monitor tab is open. | Off |

## For AI agents

Agents connected through the [MCP server](https://getomniget.com/docs/mcp-server) get the `x_*` tools plus the shared `social_*` tools. Call `social_status` first.

-   Reading: feed, mentions, bookmarks, search, profiles, posts, followers, following, the audience views, analytics, reports, engagement and Grok (`x_grok`, `x_grok_chat`, `x_grok_chats`).
-   Acting: `x_create_post`, `x_delete_post`, `x_like`, `x_repost`, `x_bookmark`, `x_follow`, and scheduling through `social_schedule` and `social_feeds`.

If you turned on **Ask me first** (under **What other programs can do** in **Settings › AI & agents**), each action waits in the OmniGet window with **Approve** and **Deny**. A request expires after 5 minutes and a denial is final for the agent. With or without it, agents are held to 20 actions on X every 10 minutes, at least 4 seconds apart. Posts and replies are outside content, which agents should treat as untrusted.

## Common problems

### “The X session ended. Sign in again.”

X signed the browser out. Choose **Sign in to X** and sign in by hand again.

### “X is limiting requests from this account for now. Wait a few minutes.”

X slowed the account down. Wait; the Audience sync keeps what it read and goes on with **Continue**.

### “X changed something on its side and OmniGet could not read the answer.”

The client reads X’s website, which changes without notice. Update OmniGet when a new version is out.

### A scheduled post shows “Missed”

It came due while OmniGet was closed, longer ago than the grace period. Choose **Send now** or **Edit** it.

### “The OmniGet browser could not start. Check the Global Downloader settings.”

The client needs the built-in browser of the [Global Downloader](https://getomniget.com/docs/global-downloader). Open it once and check that it starts.
