If you publish on Medium regularly, you’ve probably run into this at least once:
You’re ready to hit Publish — but you pause.
Not because the piece isn’t finished, but because you’re unsure whether you’re actually allowed to publish yet. Medium uses a rolling 24-hour limit, and keeping track of it mentally is harder than it sounds.
I noticed that this uncertainty was slowing me down more than the rule itself. I found myself waiting “just in case”, even when I didn’t need to.
So I built a small tool to remove that guesswork.
Medium Feed Checker looks at your recent publishing activity and tells you, clearly and calmly:
-
whether you’re currently clear to publish
-
how many stories fall inside the rolling window
-
if you need to wait, exactly how long
-
when your next safe publishing window opens
No automation. No scraping. No optimisation tricks.
Just a clear answer to a simple question.
If you’d like to read more about why this hesitation happens — and how small uncertainties can quietly reduce output — I’ve written a longer, reflective piece on Medium.
👉 And if you want to check out the tool itself, it’s on Gumroad. (Oh, and here’s a coupon code that will give you $7 off the purchase price until the end of Christmas Day 2025: IVW8WXF)
As with most things on Toolarium, this started as a tool I built for myself — and then realized others might find it useful too.
