x-signal
analytics for your X account
x-signal is a monitoring platform for your X account. It tracks your engagement as a continuous timeseries, breaks your audience into cohorts, and watches for anomalies, so you see trends and turning points instead of a single number that resets every day.
When something moves, a follower spike, a post taking off, an unusual drop, x-signal flags it. You get the story of your account over time, plus alerts the moment it changes.
