What is it?

Beav is a desktop workspace for self-media creators. You save links from Xiaohongshu, Douyin, Bilibili, YouTube and other platforms into a local knowledge base, where videos are downloaded and transcribed, and content can be broken down into topics, structure, shot rhythm and timed scripts. Subscriptions to creator accounts sync new posts automatically.

The AI assistant works per account space, keeping positioning, audience, writing style and past posts as long-term memory. It drafts platform-specific copy, generates images from templates, and packages finished work into publishing bundles. A built-in editor handles multi-track video editing, subtitles and AI-assisted talking-head cutting, and a phone QR flow moves saved material and bundles between desktop and phone.

Beav is built with Tauri and Rust and runs on macOS, Windows and Linux, with a browser-accessible server build for Linux. The open-source release is a 2.5.0 snapshot and is licensed under MIT for non-commercial use only.
