Stop paying $40/month for SaaS scheduling limits. UpTik is a high-performance native desktop studio that automates publishing using Chrome DevTools browser automation — running 100% locally with zero API restrictions.
One-liner for macOS and Linux. Windows installers available below.
Everything You Need To Scale Short-Form Content
Built with Go, Wails v2, and Svelte 5 for blazing desktop speed and rock-solid privacy.
Automatically schedules your video queue into verified peak viral windows: 11:30 AM, 6:30 PM, and 9:30 PM across a rolling 30-day horizon with real-time Collision Guard.
Interacts directly with creator interfaces via Chrome DevTools Protocol (CDP) powered by Go-Rod. Reuses your existing browser cookies and logins—no complex enterprise API approval required.
Continuous DOM inspection detects roadblocks (captchas, identity checkpoints, rate limits, HTTP 429). The queue trips immediately to protect creator accounts from automated bans.
Pure Go, zero-CGO SQLite queue in WAL mode. Even if your operating system abruptly restarts or crashes mid-render, UpTik automatically self-heals unfinished jobs back to pending.
Your videos, metadata, schedule history, and login cookies never leave your machine. No cloud analytics telemetry, no remote servers, and no 3rd-party intermediaries.
Native hardware-level keyboard dispatch bypasses tricky Draft.js and Lexical content-editable wrappers used by TikTok and Meta without triggering anti-bot validation flags.
From Folder To Omnichannel in 3 Clicks
Drag your processed MP4 or MOV files directly into UpTik Desktop Studio. Assign title templates, hashtags, and privacy preferences once for all target platforms.
Hit Auto-Schedule. UpTik scans SQLite history and distributes your videos across peak daily engagement windows (11:30, 18:30, 21:30) with guaranteed zero collision.
When the time arrives, UpTik launches Chrome CDP in the background, attaches to your profile, inputs your text, uploads the file, and confirms the schedule.

Frequently Asked Questions
UpTik uses the Chrome DevTools Protocol (CDP) through Go-Rod. It acts exactly like a human sitting at your computer: it attaches to your existing browser session, navigates to the creator dashboard, types the captions via native hardware-level input events, and uploads the video.
UpTik is specifically designed with an anti-ban Circuit Breaker. Unlike sketchy cloud scrapers that trigger IP mismatch bans, UpTik runs from your home residential IP on your actual browser profile. If any captcha or phone verification checkpoint is detected, it immediately halts the queue so you can handle it manually.
Everything is stored locally on your device in a self-contained SQLite database with Write-Ahead Logging (WAL mode). No video files or cookies are ever transferred to any external server.
Yes! UpTik is released under the permissive MIT license. You can inspect the complete source code, compile it yourself with Go and Bun, or contribute improvements directly on GitHub.
