YouTube Automation That Runs Your Channel
Point Tubeup at a folder. It writes the metadata, uploads on your schedule,
drafts the social posts, and tells you what it did.
Tubeup 1.0 uploaded your videos. Tubeup 2.0 runs your channel — automation flows, a chat assistant, nine AI providers, and every channel you own, from one desktop app that keeps your library on your own machine.

What's New in 2.0
From Upload Tool to Publishing Engine
Tubeup 1.0 was a very fast pair of hands: you enlisted files, generated metadata, and clicked upload. Tubeup 2.0 removes the sitting. Flows scan, write, upload, and promote on a schedule; a chat assistant does the work you'd otherwise click through; and a security, stability, and performance pass makes leaving it running a reasonable thing to do.
Tubeup 1.0 vs 2.0
The Same App,
a Different Job
Everything you set up in 1.0 still works — your descriptions publish byte-identical on day one. Here's what changed around them.
| Tubeup 1.0 | Tubeup 2.0 | |
|---|---|---|
| Publishing | You click upload | Flows upload on a schedule, while you're away |
| Control | Menus and forms | Menus, forms, or plain English in chat |
| AI providers | Gemini | 9 providers, including local models — the default has no per-word cost |
| Channels (API engine) | One — the second replaced the first | As many as you own, on one Google project |
| Descriptions | Global defaults, retyped per video | Named content profiles, applied in bulk |
| Channel per video | The default channel | Chosen on the video row |
| Backup | Settings | The whole install — videos, profiles, flows, chats |
| Closing the window | Everything stops | Automation can keep running in the tray (opt-in) |
| Startup | 1.44 s, 154 MB | 0.56 s, 53 MB |
| Double-publish risk | Three known paths | Closed |
Built For You
Who Is Tubeup For?
If uploading videos eats more of your day than making them, Tubeup was built for you — whether you run one channel or a client roster.
Solo Creators
“I spend more time uploading than creating.” Your upload session is now a folder you drop files into. A flow writes the metadata and publishes on the cadence you set — overnight, over a weekend, or while you're shooting the next batch.
Faceless & High-Volume Channels
Two hundred videos, five channels, one schedule. Flows with daily caps keep the pipeline moving, and the default AI provider has no per-word bill.
AI Content Creators
You generate content fast — now publish it just as fast, with metadata from the AI provider you already use, or a local model.
Content Agencies
Ten client channels, one Google project, one app. Pick the destination channel on each video row, and give each client its own content profile — a different sponsor set, link block, and hashtag list, switched by name.
Beginners
Not sure what automation will do? Press Simulate and watch the whole run before a single video moves — or just ask the chat.
Multi-Channel Managers
One channel list across both upload engines, a channel filter in Analytics, and per-channel credentials when a channel needs its own quota.
Existing Tubeup 1.0 Customers
Everything you set up still works. Your description defaults are migrated into a permanent Global Default content profile on first launch, so an upgraded install publishes byte-identical descriptions on day one — and your engine settings and flows migrate too. Nothing you wrote is lost or changed; there's just a lot more around it.
Core Features
Everything Tubeup 2.0 Does for Your Channel
Nine capabilities that turn a YouTube upload session into a publishing workflow you set up once — and control by clicking, typing, or not at all.
Automation Flows
Flows run Tubeup's own pipeline on a loop — watch a folder, write the metadata, upload, promote — with each step doing exactly what its button on the Dashboard does. Every flow gets its own schedule, a daily cap so it can't blow through your quota, an activity log, and a backlog view. Press Simulate to see the exact videos, metadata, and destinations before a single video moves. And when a flow pauses, it tells you why: quota exceeded, a channel no longer connected, or three failures in a row.
Simple Workflow
How Tubeup Works
Set it once and it publishes without you. Four steps from raw video files to a channel that keeps publishing on schedule — with a record of every video.
Drop Videos in a Folder
Point Tubeup at a watch folder. New files are enlisted in batches, thousands at a time if you need it.
Build a Flow
Choose the steps — metadata, content profile, upload, promote — a schedule, and a daily cap. Press Simulate to preview the run.
Let It Publish
The flow uploads on your cadence while Tubeup is open (or from the tray, if you turn that on). Or just ask the chat.
Check the Log & Share
Every run is in the activity log, every upload on the Uploaded page, and the social copy is ready to post.

Privacy & Security
Your Library Stays on Your Machine
Tubeup is a desktop app with a local database — there is no Tubeup cloud holding your content. Your library, your keys, and your sessions stay on your computer.
2.0 also locks down the local backend: every launch mints a secret that only Tubeup's own window is given, so web pages open in your browser can no longer reach it. A restored backup can't switch automation on, and the chat assistant can only propose changes you confirm.
Only outbound connections:
No Tubeup cloud. No third-party data sharing. No account to create. Signed macOS builds on every release.
Faster, Lighter, Safer
Built to Be
Left Running
Automation is only useful if you can trust it overnight. So 2.0 got faster at launch, lighter in memory, and closed the ways an upload tool can cost you a video.

A video can't be published twice
Retry-after-success, a late cancel, and a crash mid-write could each re-publish a video in 1.0. All three paths are closed.
Large uploads survive dropped connections
API uploads resume from what the server actually holds instead of restarting a multi-gigabyte file.
Scheduling is all-or-nothing
If the date or time can't be set, the upload stops and says so — your 6am video never goes live at noon.
No phantom records
A video is never marked uploaded on a transfer that didn't finish, and cancelling a run no longer counts as a failure.
Measured on the packaged app. The Google API and browser-automation libraries now load the first time they're needed, not at every launch.
Our Story
Built for Creators,
by a Creator
Tubeup was born out of a real problem. Managing multiple YouTube channels means spending more time uploading than creating. The repetitive Studio grind — typing titles, writing descriptions, setting tags, choosing playlists, configuring visibility — for every single video, every single day.
Tubeup exists to eliminate that workflow entirely. Every feature was designed around one question: how do we give creators their time back?
Tubeup 1.0 answered that by making uploads fast. Tubeup 2.0 answers it by taking you out of the upload session altogether: drop files in a folder, let a flow publish on your schedule, and ask for changes in plain English when you need them. The parts of YouTube that slow you down run on their own — so your energy goes where it matters: making content.
Publish Without Sitting There
Flows upload on your schedule while you do the work that matters.
Metadata That Ranks
AI-written titles, descriptions, and tags — reviewed by you.
Scale Across Channels

Stay Private
A local database on your machine. No Tubeup cloud.
Stay in Control
Chat proposes, you confirm. Simulate before anything moves.
Pay Once
From $24.50 one-time. No subscription, no per-video or per-channel fees.
