Coming next
- Download somebody else's TikTok video straight into your clips, the same way slideshows import today.
- Paste any app's link and get its icon as a clean iOS style tile for your slides.
Unreleased
- The first time Claude makes a reel for a brand, it asks five quick questions and remembers the answers.
- Reels can have an AI voice from Gemini, or from ElevenLabs with a key added in Settings.
- Reels and slideshows are numbered and saved per brand in the reels and slides folders of your workspace.
- An account that needs connecting again now shows a Reconnect button when you hover over it in Post Scheduler. Signing in again brings it back with its queued posts, so there's no need to remove it first.
- The Videos tab opens on Styles, a grid of video styles made with Claude. Hover one to watch it, open it to see what you'd need to film, and copy a prompt that has Claude make that style for your brand. A second tile clones any reel or TikTok from its link. Your hook videos are one click away in Studio.
- The welcome screen now describes videos as hooks written from your app's facts, burned onto your clips.
- The hint in the hooks box on the Videos screen now just says one hook per line.
- Hotel, airport and office wifi can't sign you out anymore. A wifi login page answering the license check used to make Quick Throttle forget your key. Now it counts as being offline.
- Leaving Quick Throttle open without internet for a few days no longer closes it or says your subscription has ended. It tells you once that it couldn't check and keeps working, and your key is still there when you reopen it.
- If your subscription ends while Quick Throttle is open, the license screen still says why the next time you open it.
- If Quick Throttle can't read the license key saved on your computer, after a Windows profile restore say, it now says so and asks for the key again instead of showing a blank screen. Entering your key again on the license screen also frees this computer's old slot, so it never counts twice against your 2 computers.
- The message about a key already being active on 2 computers now says what to do if one of them is lost or broken.
- Settings shows how many brands you're using out of your plan's limit, like 1 of 2, and says so plainly if you kept more brands than a smaller plan includes. They all keep working.
- Settings now links to every plan, not only Lifetime, and the steps for switching plans remind you to cancel the old subscription so you aren't charged twice.
- When your plan is full, New brand takes you to your plan in Settings instead of opening a form that can't be saved. The message about the limit now counts your brands correctly.
- The license that comes with the app now covers Weekly and Monthly: 2 computers per key, the brand limit for each plan, and updates and email support while you're subscribed.
2.4.0
- The Queue screen is now called Post Scheduler, and its list of posts that already went out is called Posted.
- A video can't be scheduled to post with no account behind it anymore. Before, it came due, showed as done and nothing went anywhere. Now Claude is told no account is connected, and the Queue button on a video says plainly that it's a reminder that won't post.
- The Queue screen's Coming up list only shows posts that are actually scheduled, each with its picture, day and time. Empty slots and days with nothing queued are gone.
- The queue uses less of your computer. Quick Throttle no longer checks it every 30 seconds. It waits for the next post's time and checks at least every 10 minutes, so posts still go out on the minute, and a video going to Instagram and Facebook at the same time lands on both together.
- Post straight to Instagram and Facebook. Connect them on the Queue screen and queued videos go out live as Reels, with a link to each post once it's up. You'll need your own Meta app, and Settings walks you through adding it.
- The week on the Queue screen picks its own times now. Press Optimize for US times or EU times to get three posts a day at the hours that audience scrolls, kept right when the clocks change. Randomize moves each post up to 10 minutes either way so they don’t all land on the same minute.
- The Queue screen is redesigned. The next post sits at the top with a countdown, the days after it read as a timeline with the open slots shown between posts, and anything that missed its time is pinned above everything else with a Post now button. One video going to Instagram and Facebook shows as one card. Your posting plan and accounts sit in a side column and open on Edit.
- The posting plan asks what to do with a post that comes due while your computer is asleep or the app is closed. Skip it, or post it if you’re back within 1, 6 or 24 hours.
- Your agent can schedule any finished video now, even one made in another editor. Give it the file and it writes the title, caption and hashtags itself, then queues or posts it like anything made in Quick Throttle.
- The app icon is a bit bigger in the taskbar, the Start menu and the tray.
2.3.0
- Quick Throttle now comes as a weekly or monthly subscription as well as lifetime access. Settings shows your plan and how many brands it includes, with a link to manage or cancel a subscription. Lifetime keys bought before today work exactly as they did, with no brand limit.
2.2.0
- Fight night keeps up with the research window. A fight ends as soon as the next account is measured and runs long while a slow one is still being read, and each account's slideshows fly in within a couple of seconds.
- Anonymous usage reports now include which screen you're on and how many slides went into a deck, an image run or an export. Still names and counts only, never your words or pictures, and the switch in Settings turns it all off.
2.1.0
- Research Results only lists accounts that passed, so a page that mostly posts video, like a news channel that showed up for one slideshow, no longer sits at the top. Turn on More options and untick Only the ones that passed to see every account measured.
- The Other brands too button on Research is now a box called Include my other brands, inside More options. Close More options and you're back to this brand's research only.
- Tell your AI to stop and the research stops. It cancels anything waiting and ends the run in progress once the page it's reading finishes. Accounts it already measured stay.
- While research runs, the show now fills the whole screen under the navigation bar, whether you started the run or your AI did. Pick Fight night, Optical sorter or Airport X-ray along the top, turn the sound on, or stop the run from there. Hide takes you back to the page, and Watch the show brings it back. When the run ends, all three shows name the top three accounts, not just the winner.
- Research is per brand now. Each brand shows only the accounts, runs and plans it found, and the Other brands too switch on Results and Plan shows everything from your other brands as well. It starts off.
- Setting up a new brand now looks and works like the first run of the desktop app. You paste your link, copy one message for your AI, and the page ticks off each part of your brand as your AI writes it, so there's no reloading to see if it's done. When it finishes, one button takes you to Research. Answering the questions yourself is its own page too.
- Research results open on every account you've measured, with or without More options. Starting a run still shows that run while it goes.
- The Find accounts tab in Research is now called Start research, and so is its button.
- Research now plays a show while a run goes, made from the accounts it's really reading. Fight night is the default: every account is a stick fighter with its profile picture for a head, and the one with the most views a slideshow keeps the belt. You can switch to the Optical sorter or the Airport X-ray, all three have sound, and Off hides it.
- Research finds and measures accounts again. In 2.0.0 every search came back with no accounts, and measuring an account read none of its posts.
- Research ranks accounts by what their slideshows get: total views, average views a post, likes, and how many they posted. Followers no longer decide anything. It also measures the accounts behind the most viewed slideshows first, and by default only keeps pages that are at least 80% slideshows.
- Every Copy the prompt button now copies a short prompt with just your details. Your AI fetches the full instructions from Quick Throttle when you paste it, so they're always the latest version.
- Remix prompts give your AI the full path to the downloaded slides, so it finds them in the desktop app too.
- Open on TikTok in Research opens the account or post in the research window, where you're already signed in, instead of your default browser.
2.0.0
- Queue is back in the side panel on both Slideshows and Videos, and Videos can open Brand from there too.
- Research shows a Stop button while a run is going, without opening More options.
- The header wraps cleanly on narrower windows instead of scrolling sideways.
- On a Mac, copy and paste work again, including in the license key box.
- A Privacy card in Settings. Quick Throttle now sends anonymous usage and error reports so we can find bugs faster. It never sends your brands, hooks, clips, captions or keys. One switch turns it off. A second switch, off until you flip it, lets us record the app window to watch a bug happen. The first setup page now says what it sends.
- Security fixes. Other websites open in your browser can no longer reach Quick Throttle, and the desktop app only opens its own folders. Your AI can only upload pictures, video and audio, and the research window can't use your camera, microphone or location.
- Your TikTok login is now stored encrypted, so a workspace folder you zip up and share can't be used to post to your account. Copied to another computer, it asks you to connect TikTok again. Keys and login codes are also kept out of the app's log files.
- Settings shows your install ID under Privacy, with a link to the privacy policy. Send us the ID and we'll delete every report your copy sent.
- Research, in the desktop app. Type what your audience searches on TikTok and Quick Throttle finds the accounts winning with slideshows, measures their last 30 days, and shows their best posts. Download any of them in one click to remix, or have your AI break them down and write you a 7 day plan. It remixes the most viral ones into 15 slideshows ready in your inbox, and the plan shows up on the same screen. It reads TikTok in its own window, signed in once, at a person's pace. Find accounts, Results and Plan each get their own tab, so nothing makes you scroll past the rest.
- The tour now ends on Research. Copy the prompt there, paste it into your AI, and the accounts winning in your niche show up under Results while you wait.
- Settings is now a page inside the app instead of a separate window. Open it from the side panel, and the missing key notice and the update button take you straight to the right section.
- Setup walks you through connecting your AI. Pick Claude, ChatGPT, Gemini, Grok or Cursor, click one button, then ask it to tell Quick Throttle a joke. The joke shows up in setup the moment it gets through.
- Setup asks for your license key after you pick your AI, right before connecting it. Close setup partway, to go and buy a key say, and it picks up where you left off next time.
- Setup asks where you heard about Quick Throttle. One click, and you can skip it.
- Setup ends by making your first brand. Paste your app's link and your AI reads your site and reviews and fills the brand in while you watch. Then you check what it wrote and fix any line right there. No AI? Answer four quick questions yourself.
- An empty inbox now names the AI you picked in setup and gives you the whole message to send it for your first three slideshows, one click to copy.
- The side panel is easier to scan, with an icon on each row. A missing Gemini key now shows a button that takes you straight to where it goes.
- The first time Quick Throttle opens, a short tour walks through slideshows, research, videos and the side panel. Slideshows now come first in the top switch.
- The desktop app starts Claude Code, Codex or Gemini CLI for you. One click opens a terminal in your workspace with the agent running, and installs it first if it isn't there yet.
- You can drive Quick Throttle from the Claude app or ChatGPT with no terminal at all, and from Claude Code, Gemini CLI or Cursor in any folder. Settings has an Add button for each, and the agent gets Quick Throttle's tools: write hooks, render, build decks, import slideshows and queue posts.
- The desktop app runs on its own port, so it no longer clashes with web dev servers you have open.
- Compose has previous and next arrows on the slide preview, so you can step through a deck without going back to the thumbnails. The slide glides in from the side it sits on.
- iPhone clips recorded in HEVC now import. They're converted to H.264 as they come in, so they preview and render like any other clip.
- A clip your browser can't read says so in the preview instead of sitting on "decoding…" forever.
- Render is about twice as fast in the tab. The preview pauses while a batch renders, and the progress bar no longer slows the render down. Your videos look exactly the same.
- Queue renders up to three videos at once on a machine with the cores for it, so a big batch finishes in about half the time.
- The built app (npm run build, then npm start) now renders queued videos too. Before, only npm run dev could, and the built app also loaded blank.
1.2.0
- A posting week and a queue. Pick your days and times once, press Queue on a finished video, and it takes the next free slot.
- The TikTok scheduler isn't finished yet, so don't count on queued videos uploading themselves. The queue still tells you what's due and when. You're welcome to build your own scheduler on top of it: ask Claude Code or Codex to read the queue and send each post wherever you like.
- A Schedule button on Review and Compose that copies a ready prompt for Claude Code or Codex to schedule the batch in whatever tool you use, and marks those posts as scheduled so you never do them twice.
- Reveal format: one clip, one line said in two beats. The first half shows alone, then the rest replaces it.
- A length limit per video, from 1 to 60 seconds.
- Captions remember where they sat on each clip, so every line over that clip lands in the same spot.
- Text shadow, and a Looks row that sets the four common TikTok caption styles in one click.
- TikTok Sans is the default caption font.
- Copy every line or remove every line on a hook set at once.
- The Auto Gen switch now decides on its own. On, every new draft gets its pictures made the moment it lands. Off, you approve each one.
- The studio keeps your audio and style settings when you leave and come back.
- Claude Code or Codex installs Node for you during setup if it's missing.
1.1.0
- Add your own music to a video. The track loops to fill it and replaces the clip's sound.
- Highlight caption style, a pill behind each line.
- Set the caption position once and apply it to every hook.
- Import a TikTok slideshow by link and remix it into your own deck, several decks from one cleaning pass.
- Save every finished pack straight into a folder you pick.
- Mark slideshows as posted, and a Posted screen to see them together.
- A proper brand menu, and starting a brand from a link.
- Big inboxes open fast. The list no longer loads every picture to draw itself.
1.0.1
- First run starts empty instead of loading a demo brand.
- A setup page for new buyers, and a link to your customer portal in the app.
1.0.0
- First release. Videos from one clip and a written line, slideshows from your brand's facts, all run from Claude Code or Codex on your own machine.
