Freeflow drives your own accounts through browser automation. It cracks nothing, routes nothing through third-party servers, and keeps every login state, asset, and publish record on your own machine.

Latest release: v1.9.4

• Real audit of all 53 publishing entry points: each platform's article / image / video editor URL was opened and checked for final URL, login wall, captcha, editor fingerprints (ProseMirror / Quill / CodeMirror / TinyMCE / UEditor / iframe / contenteditable) and screenshots — see tools/platform-audit/audit.json and PLATFORM_MATRIX.md
• Business inquiries entry: a "Business inquiries" block in the sidebar with two mailto: links
• README / Release policy: README keeps only the current release notes, install & usage, and business contact; all older release notes live in Releases
• Stability: carries the v1.9.3 fixes for message-center API parsing, stats API field mapping, and editor undo/space/save-race issues

Older release notes: GitHub Releases.

Quick start

1. Log in: Accounts tab → pick a platform → add account → scan the QR code
2. Write: Articles tab, choose article / video / audio, write in rich text or Markdown
3. Publish: tick target accounts → preview → publish now or schedule
4. Semi-automatic platforms: a few (e.g. WeChat Official Account) need the final click/QR confirm from you

Data directory & upgrades

All user data (login states, cookies, drafts, assets, task history, configs) lives in the data/ folder next to the app. Upgrading replaces program files only — never delete data/; the whole folder is portable.
