Tool · Best time to post
Pick your platform and the timezone where most of your audience lives. The heatmap scores every hour of every day from one to ten and highlights the three best windows. Use it as a starting grid — real audience data beats any aggregated median.

Directional baseline — medians from general creator research. Offsets reflect the current DST state for each zone; half-offset zones (e.g. India +5:30) round to the nearest hour. Your actual audience may peak differently; A/B test three windows over two weeks to confirm.
Medians aggregated from public creator studies and platform-reported activity patterns across 2023–2025. They are a directional baseline, not live audience data.
Most other tools show times in a single timezone. This heatmap shifts the baseline into the timezone you pick so you can see when your target audience is awake and scrolling, not when creators in one region post.
No. The top three are starting points. Post there for two weeks, track reach in the first 30 minutes, then move one of the three to an experimental window. Three weeks of data beats any external heatmap.
Yes, that is the mechanism. A baseline of followers and engagement signals the algorithm to distribute the post more widely in its first 30 minutes. Crypto-paid packages on 1kreach keep identity separation intact.
