baddie in the cloud. Not yet.

The same feed, inbox, composer and agent controls are in the live demo today, on sample accounts. The app that runs on your own machine is free. Its installers arrive with the first release, which is not out yet. Until then you can build it from source.

Two reasons. Neither is a marketing delay.

1. The big platforms have to review the app first

On your own machine, baddie talks to each platform through a developer app that belongs to you. A service for other people cannot work that way. The platforms require its apps to pass review before they may touch anyone else’s account:

• Meta (Facebook, Instagram, WhatsApp): App Review for every permission, plus business verification.
• Google (YouTube): OAuth app verification, and the YouTube API audit before uploads can be public.
• TikTok: an app audit before posts can be public.

These reviews take weeks, and a platform can say no. We would rather tell you that than name a date we do not control.

2. We will not hold your tokens until the security is right

A hosted baddie keeps the access tokens to your accounts on a server instead of on your computer. That makes the service a target, and it makes account security the product: sign-in, encryption, and what happens when something goes wrong. Until that is built and reviewed, there is nothing for you to sign up to.

The security policy says what the app on your computer protects today.

• The same app. The feed, the inbox, the composer and the agent controls you can try in the live demo today, in a browser tab.
• Nothing to install or keep running.
• No keys to bring. Reviewed apps mean you connect an account by signing in, without registering a developer app of your own.
• Tokens, never account passwords. It will hold the kind of access the app on your computer holds: access you grant on the platform and can revoke there at any time. Storing account passwords would break the platforms’ terms and would not survive two-factor sign-in, so we will not do it.

It has no price yet. When there is one, it will be on this page before anyone is asked to pay.

There is no email form here, on purpose. This site has no backend and collects nothing, and we are not going to start with your address.

1. Open the repository on GitHub.
2. Choose Watch → Custom → Releases. This needs a free GitHub account.
3. GitHub tells you about each new version, including the one that opens the hosted service. You can stop watching whenever you like.
