Built a TikTok auto upload bot to save creators hours β€” feedback welcome!

Hey Indie Hackers πŸ‘‹

I recently launched a small tool to solve a particular problem I kept hearing from content creators and small business owners:

β€œWhy is uploading to TikTok so manual and annoying?!”

So I built a TikTok Auto Upload Bot β€” a lightweight Python script that automates the upload process right from your desktop.

πŸ’‘ Why I built it:

  • TikTok doesn’t support full automation or scheduling unless you're using expensive enterprise tools

  • Creators want a fast, repeatable way to batch upload their content

  • Most solutions are either overpriced, complicated, or don't support desktop automation

βš™οΈ What it does:

  • Automatically logs into TikTok

  • Uploads videos with captions and settings

  • Works locally β€” no API key or third-party account needed

  • One-time setup, no subscription required

πŸ’° Business Model:

Selling it on Gumroad for a low one-time price

πŸ”§ Built With:

  • Python + Selenium

  • Runs locally (no server or login required)


πŸ™ I'd love your feedback on:

  • The product idea and use case

  • My Gumroad landing page

  • Any features you'd want if you were a user

Also curious: Do you think bots like this are useful for solo creators and small teams?

I appreciate any help you can provide. Happy to answer any questions about how I built it, too.

    Solving a real pain with a simple, no-BS tool....nice

  2. 1

    I've strayed from building TikTok creation micro tools in general because I'm under th impression that adding music, text, etc. directly from the TikTok editor dramatically increases engagement. Maybe not the case. Interested to see how it goes

    1. 1

      True β€” native editing might help.

      But for creators who batch-edit elsewhere, auto-upload saves a ton of time. Still testing how it affects reach!

    Cool tool! Automating TikTok uploads sounds like a huge time-saver for creators.

    Curious β€” how have users responded so far? Are solo creators the main audience, or do small teams find it useful too?

      Thanks!

      I just launched it recently, so I'm still in the early stage and gathering users.

      Right now, I'm actively looking for solo creators and small teams to try it and give feedback.

      It’s built to be super simple β€” just Excel + script, no coding needed. If you’re interested, I’d be happy to send over a copy for testing!

    Why a script and not through API?

    1. 1

      I just wanted to make it simple so others can use it without any technical issues.

  5. 1

    pretty clever tool!

  6. 1

    Anything that makes posting on TikTok easier is a win. I'm building Trend, and a tool like this could really help our marketing.

  7. 1

    This is really needed tool, Creators can definitely use this ! Well done

  8. 1

    wow! anything that reduces the friction of posting on TikTok is gold.
    I’m buildin Trend, and this kind of tool would honestly be super useful for our marketing strategy.

    How are you handling captions, hashtags or scheduling logic inside the tool?

    1. 1

      I'm using excel for handling File path, caption and hashtags and time post. So is easy to handle all. And program run backdoor so it just handle the excel and program automatic upload.
