X now

Your X profile, as a simple link-in-bio page — live in under two minutes.

X now is a macOS menu bar app. Enter your handle, add a few links, hit Publish, and get a live page on here.now.

What you get

  • A polished personal page at https://….here.now
  • Import from X — fill name, bio, and photo from your public profile
  • Featured link — star one link so it stands out first
  • Themes: dark, light, or X blue
  • No account required for a first publish (site lasts 24 hours unless you claim it)
  • Optional free here.now API key for permanent sites and easy updates

Requirements

  • macOS 14 or later
  • Xcode 15+ (or a Swift 5.9+ toolchain)
  • Internet access to publish

Run it

cd /path/to/x-now
swift build
swift run XNow

Look for the link icon in the menu bar.

In Xcode: open Package.swift, select the XNow scheme, press ⌘R.

Tests (needs full Xcode, not Command Line Tools only):

DEVELOPER_DIR=/Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer swift test

How to use

  1. Open X now from the menu bar.
  2. Enter your X handle. Optionally import your public profile.
  3. Edit name and bio, add links (title + URL). Star one link if you want it featured.
  4. Pick a theme, then Publish.
  5. Copy the live URL. Share it anywhere.

Without an API key, the site is temporary (24 hours). Open the claim link the app shows to keep it, or add a free hnk_… key in Settings for permanent sites.

Your draft is saved on your Mac under Application Support (XNow/page.json and publish.json).


For agents

Publish the same page model via the here.now API without the UI — see AGENTS.md.
