X Pro, formerly TweetDeck, is built around real-time columns for X. ONYX is built around BlueSky planning: draft posts, split threads, schedule approved content, and keep a clean calendar instead of living in monitoring columns all day.

TweetDeck-style columns are useful for watching many streams at once. But a BlueSky creator often needs a different job done: decide what to say, make the post clear, schedule it, and review what happened later. ONYX is built around that publishing loop.
ONYX gives you a content calendar, queue, post generator, thread splitter, character counter, best-time tool, and analytics. That makes it a better fit when the goal is consistent BlueSky output instead of all-day feed monitoring.
If your main need is watching custom feeds, mentions, searches, or many live streams at once, a dedicated BlueSky column client may still be useful. ONYX is the planning and scheduling layer for the posts you already approved.
ONYX is not a live column-monitoring replacement for TweetDeck. It is a BlueSky-first planning and scheduling dashboard for approved posts, threads, and analytics.
There are third-party BlueSky column clients for monitoring. ONYX serves a different job: planning, drafting, scheduling, and reviewing BlueSky posts.
Choose ONYX when your main problem is consistent BlueSky publishing, not watching many real-time feeds at once.
Tired of cross-network bloat and paying vertical per-profile seat taxes just to add a BlueSky handle? Scale your profiles seamlessly with ONYX Studio for just $19/mo.
