Brightbean Studio: social media manager. Open-source social media management platform.

In simple English

Brightbean Studio is a self-hosted tool that helps you plan, schedule, and publish content to multiple social networks from one dashboard. It connects directly to the official APIs of platforms like Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn, and TikTok. It acts as an open-source alternative to paid services such as Buffer and Hootsuite. You can run it on your own server for free, without paying monthly subscription fees or dealing with per-user limits. Setup requires some technical knowledge of server deployment, environment variables, and Docker.

What it is

Brightbean Studio is an open-source, self-hosted social media management platform built with Python, Django, and HTMX. It provides a multi-workspace dashboard with scheduling calendars, approval workflows, a unified inbox, and performance analytics.

What it is good for

Solo builders and small agencies who manage multiple social media accounts and want to replace expensive monthly SaaS subscriptions with their own self-hosted scheduling stack.
