It's a Python automation tool that publishes your videos to major Chinese and international platforms — Douyin, Bilibili, Xiaohongshu, Kuaishou, WeChat Channels, Weibo, TikTok, YouTube and more — with support for scheduled posting.

An older web interface still exists in the code, but it's no longer the mainline and isn't guaranteed to run.

An older web interface still exists in the code, but it's no longer the mainline and isn't guaranteed to run.What's involved in installing and running it?Install, update and environment prep are consolidated in the repo's docs, and the recommended path uses uv plus the sau CLI. If you use an agent client, you can hand it the repo together with the project's Agent Bootstrap Prompt and it handles setup for you.

The TikTok flow runs through the Chrome browser.

The TikTok flow runs through the Chrome browser.What should I watch out for in its current state?It's mid-refactor: the detailed docs lag the code, the legacy web UI isn't guaranteed to work, and coverage is uneven — TikTok has no CLI yet, and image-text posts only work on Douyin, Xiaohongshu and Kuaishou. Scheduled-posting logic was also written around next-day timing.

Scheduled-posting logic was also written around next-day timing.Will it run on my machine, or is it tied to one OS?It's Python plus browser automation, so it runs wherever Python and a browser do — Windows, macOS and Linux. There's also a Dockerfile in the repo for containerized runs.

There's also a Dockerfile in the repo for containerized runs.Which platforms are fully covered, and which are missing features like scheduling or image posts?All eleven platforms handle login and video upload, but the matrix is uneven: image-text posts only work on Douyin, Xiaohongshu and Kuaishou; scheduled publishing covers Douyin, Bilibili, Xiaohongshu, Kuaishou, WeChat Channels and TikTok; and TikTok is the only platform without a CLI path yet. Douyin is described as the most complete mainline implementation, while Bilibili uploads build on the biliup project.

Douyin is described as the most complete mainline implementation, while Bilibili uploads build on the biliup project.Can it run headless on a server without popping up a browser window?Headless mode is the mainline focus of the ongoing refactor: the browser runs in the background while the automation flow continues, aimed at CLI, server-side, scheduled-task and agent scenarios. The project is also switching to the patchright driver to improve compatibility and make automation harder for platforms to detect.

Driving YouTube Studio in a browser lifts that restriction, adds --playlist and --visibility options, and waits for the upload to reach 100% before publishing. In regions where YouTube is blocked, you set an explicit YTPROXY in conf.py.

The author's point: high-frequency, repetitive, boring work belongs to scripts. Agents aren't excluded, though — the repo ships per-platform upload skills so Claude Code, Codex and OpenClaw can drive it.
