Quick start

Create your workspace, pair a Windows VPS, add a proxy and an X account, and sign in — the shortest path to a working setup.

Last checked: October 24, 2026Markdown version

This page takes you from a new X-Buddy account to one X account that is signed in and ready to work. Plan about 20 minutes. You need:

  • a Windows VPS you control, with at least 4 GB of RAM (see VPS & agent);
  • one proxy per X account you want to run (HTTP or SOCKS5);
  • the X account's username and password, and access to its 2FA if it has one.

X-Buddy runs your own personal X accounts in a real Chrome on your own VPS. It never solves captchas or X verification for you, and it has no built-in AI writer: it sends exactly the text you write.

1. Create your account and workspace

  1. Open X-Buddy and choose Sign up. Enter Full name, your email, Password (at least 8 characters) and Confirm password.
  2. If X-Buddy asks you to confirm your email, open the link it sent you, then sign in.
  3. On Create your first workspace, enter a Workspace name and choose the Default time zone. Choose Create workspace.

You land on Home. Its setup checklist shows four steps — Invite teammates, Pair a Windows VPS, Add proxies and X accounts and Sign in to your X account via Remote view — and ticks each one off as it really happens.

Forgot your password? On the sign-in page choose Forgot password?, enter your email and choose Send link. The email takes you to Reset password.

2. Choose your language

X-Buddy picks English or Tiếng Việt from your browser the first time. To change it, open Settings → Your account → Language, or use the language switcher on the sign-in pages. Your choice is saved to your profile.

The workspace has its own Workspace notification language (Settings → Workspace). It is used for Telegram alerts, webhook test messages and the agent window on your VPS. It does not change the language Chrome uses inside your X accounts.

3. Pair your VPS

  1. Go to VPS & Agent and choose Add VPS. Give it a VPS display name and choose Generate pairing code.
  2. Copy the install command. On the VPS, open PowerShell as Administrator, paste it and press Enter.
  3. Wait until the dialog shows Paired. The code is valid for 10 minutes; if it expires, generate a new one.

The installer sets up Node.js, Google Chrome and the X-Buddy agent, and starts it every time Windows signs in. Details, requirements and the agent window are in VPS & agent.

4. Add a proxy and an X account

  1. Go to Proxy → Add proxies, paste one proxy per line and add them. X-Buddy checks each one and shows whether it can connect.
  2. Go to X accounts → Add X account. Choose the VPS, an unused Proxy, then fill in Account label, X account age and Time zone. The last step shows the account's Browser profile — created once, kept for good, and matched to its proxy.

Adding many X accounts at once from a file is covered in Import X accounts in bulk.

5. Sign in through Remote view

Open the X account and choose Open Remote view. You see that account's Chrome on your VPS, live. Type the username and password yourself; if X asks for a 2FA code, use Paste text (2FA code…). When X's home page appears, X-Buddy saves the handle and profile photo.

While Remote view is open, automated jobs for this X account wait. Close it when you're done. More in Add and sign in X accounts.

6. Decide your limits, then start

X-Buddy ships no preset caps: you set how much each X account may do per day and per 7 days, and when it may run. Read Limits, run hours & safety before you turn anything on.

Good first things to do:

  • Today collects mentions, replies, messages waiting for an answer and posts from your nurturing lists and keyword monitors.
  • Playbooks let you copy a ready-made set of tasks and apply it to several X accounts. Growth tasks always arrive switched Off until you preview and enable them — see Playbooks.
  • Campaigns send a step-by-step sequence to a list of people — see Campaigns & sequences.
