How golden hour picks your times
Each platform has a starting hour when its audience tends to be around. Octoque sets it on your audience’s clock, or yours if you haven’t said where they are.

Steps
- In New post, under When?, pick Each platform at its golden hour (it’s picked already).
- Check the list under it: one time per platform, shown in your time zone, with “Timed for” and your audience regions above it.
- Schedule. Each platform goes out at its own time.
Starting hours, in your audience’s local time
| Platform | Golden hour |
|---|---|
| 09:00 | |
| Threads | 09:00 |
| X | 12:00 |
| 13:00 | |
| YouTube | 18:00 |
| 19:00 | |
| TikTok | 20:00 |
Whose clock?
If you set Where your audience is, golden hours follow that region’s time (the first region you picked). Otherwise they follow your own time zone. For example, a creator in India with an audience in the United States gets Instagram at 19:00 New York time, shown to them in India time.
The region clocks Octoque uses: United States (New York), Canada (Toronto), UK (London), Europe (Berlin), Middle East (Dubai), India (Kolkata), Southeast Asia (Singapore), Australia (Sydney), Latin America (São Paulo), Africa (Lagos).
Today or tomorrow?
If a platform’s golden hour today is less than five minutes away or already past, its post goes at the same hour the next day.
