Does this calculator know my exact best posting time?

No. This page does not read your account analytics or predict your personal peak hour. It builds a Facebook timing test plan from that platform’s benchmark table in your audience timezone. Run the slots as controlled tests, then let Facebook and OpenQuok analytics decide your final schedule.

Where do the suggested clock times come from?

These Facebook times come from OpenQuok’s open timetable (reviewed 2026-09-30). We wrote the Facebook rows from public research. We do not use your Facebook analytics. Times use your audience’s local clock. See benchmarkSlots.ts on GitHub for the source. Change cadence or content type above to show more or fewer slots.

Why does the tool include multiple slots?

A single “magic” Facebook hour is rarely reliable. Multiple slots let you A/B test nearby Facebook windows across the week so you can replace generic advice with data from your audience.

Can I schedule the suggested slots with OpenQuok?

Yes. Copy the Facebook timing test plan or use the week preview as a guide, then create scheduled posts to your connected Facebook channel in OpenQuok via the calendar, CLI, or Public API. This tool does not publish for you.

Do I need an OpenQuok account?

No to generate and copy a timing test plan. Sign in when you want to queue the slots on your connected channels and track results in workspace analytics.

What's included for Facebook?

This page opens with Facebook benchmark windows locked in the calculator so you are not guessing. Adjust audience timezone, content type, and cadence, then generate a copyable timing test plan in the calculator below. For another network, pick a different channel in the By channel section, or use the all-platforms Best Time to Post hub.

How do I find my real best time on Facebook?

This page does not read your Facebook analytics. After you run the benchmark test plan, open Meta Business Help — when your audience is online and compare engagement for the windows you tried. Adjust your OpenQuok schedule from what your account data shows — not from the static table alone.

How do I schedule social media posts with OpenQuok?

Connect channels, write in Creating posts, then pick a time on the calendar or kanban. Agents can use the CLI, agent setup guides, or MCP setup guides.

Can I try OpenQuok for free?

Yes. OpenQuok offers one 7-day free trial per payment customer so you can run social media accounts on auto-pilot before you subscribe the plan. Create an account and start today — no credit card required. Canceling and resubscribing, or creating another workspace, does not grant a second trial. Plan limits are on Pricing and in the billing limits guide; trial rules are in the Cloud trial guide.
