What it solves

It provides a free, open-source alternative to paid social media management tools like Buffer or Hootsuite, specifically designed for users who want to schedule and automate the publishing of video content to platforms like YouTube and TikTok without paying monthly subscriptions.

How it works

Built as a single Next.js application, the tool allows users to connect multiple social media accounts via Google OAuth. Users can upload videos (via media URLs), set specific publishing times, and configure platform-specific settings (such as privacy and comments). The system uses MuAPI for AI-powered publishing and generative content, and manages scheduling and post history through a PostgreSQL database and Prisma ORM.

Who it’s for

Content creators and social media managers who primarily focus on short-form video content and prefer a self-hosted, open-source solution over subscription-based SaaS platforms.

Highlights

• Video-first workflow: Optimized specifically for YouTube and TikTok publishing.
• Multi-account management: Ability to connect and manage several accounts across supported platforms.
• Granular controls: Platform-specific settings for YouTube (privacy, category, made-for-kids) and TikTok (comments, duets, stitches).
• Self-hostable: Simple deployment as a single Next.js app without complex microservices.
• Credit-based system: Uses a Stripe-powered credit model instead of per-seat monthly pricing.
