About the project

The idea for beatshare was born out of pure frustration. As a music producer myself, uploading beats to YouTube, SoundCloud, and Instagram, I quickly realized that making the music was only half the battle. Editing, exporting, and rendering videos for social media became a massive time sink. It took so much energy that, eventually, the passion for creating and publishing music started to fade.

I desperately needed a tool to automate the video creation process. However, every solution out there required a monthly subscription or didn’t quite meet the criteria I had for my channel at the time. So, I started building beatshare. I eventually got some of the core features implemented, and the first beta was released in April, 2026.

Who is behind the project?

My name is Mads. I like to listen to and produce music. I also enjoy developing software – so much so that I work as a full-time software developer by day. I created beatshare for the reasons stated above, and I enjoy doing it in my free-time.

Since beatshare is a passion project, I’m not able to work on it full-time. As a result, new features, bug fixes, and releases will be rolled out gradually throughout the year. I hope for your understanding on this.

The roadmap

I launched the first beta version of beatshare in April 2026, and are now building towards having a fully fledged application that can render videos and automate most of the upload workflows you probably face every day as a music producer.

A note on security

Since beatshare is a desktop application, I know it requires trust to download and run software from the web. You might notice that Windows flags the app with a warning during installation. This simply happens because I am an independent developer and haven’t gone through the expensive and lengthy process of getting a digital developer certificate yet.

I am actively looking into getting the application signed so Windows stops flagging it. In the meantime, I want to assure you that beatshare is 100% safe to use, and is solely built to render and distribute videos for your beats.

Linux and Mac support

Also, I want to extend support for Linux and Mac. This is already a big ambition for me, but it takes time. I am currently testing and making sure that the application is stable on Linux. Mac is bit further down the pipeline as I do not currently have the economic ressources to launch and distribute the application for Mac yet.

Support for the project

beatshare will always remain free software. It is a side project I built for the community, and I don’t have the capacity or desire to run it as a business. That said, keeping the project running isn’t entirely free on my end. If beatshare has ever saved you time or helped your workflow, please consider buying me a coffee. That kind of support really makes all the hours spent fixing bugs and improving the app worth it.
