    (Worse that there don’t exist any front-end viable for Facebook/Meta)

    Yes, there are several privacy-focused alternative TikTok frontends:

    ProxiTok is the main open-source alternative frontend for TikTok[1]. It allows you to:

    • Watch TikTok videos without connecting to TikTok servers
    • Create following lists to track specific users
    • Access RSS feeds for users and trending content
    • Browse without ads or tracking

    StickTock is another privacy frontend that lets you watch TikTok content by replacing “tiktok.com” with “sticktock.com” in any video URL[2]. It offers both clearnet and Tor onion addresses.

    Offtiktok provides similar functionality by adding “off” before “tiktok” in URLs[3]. It includes a minimalist feed for watching recommended videos without ads or geo-restrictions.

    All these frontends are:

    • Free and open-source
    • Self-hostable
    • Privacy-focused (requests go through their servers instead of directly to TikTok)
    • Ad-free
