About AiStudio
AiStudio is a desktop app for macOS. It helps one person make short vertical videos on their own computer and, when that person chooses, send a finished video to their own TikTok account.
What the app does
- You make a video in the app, on your computer. You watch it and approve it yourself.
- You connect your TikTok account once, using TikTok's own login page (Login Kit). You sign in on TikTok; the app never sees your TikTok password.
- You review the caption and the settings the app shows you, then press the button to send the video. Nothing is ever sent without that press.
- TikTok processes the video. Depending on the option you use, it appears in your TikTok inbox as a draft that you finish in the TikTok app, or it is posted to your account straight away with the privacy setting you picked.
What the app asks TikTok for
| Permission (scope) | What it is used for |
|---|---|
user.info.basic | Shows your TikTok display name and avatar in the app, so you can see which account you are about to post to. |
video.upload | Sends a video you approved to your TikTok inbox as a draft, which you finish in the TikTok app. |
video.publish | Posts a video you approved to your account, with the caption, privacy level and interaction settings you chose in the app. |
The app asks for nothing else. It does not read your videos, your followers, your messages or your watch history.
Where your data lives
- On your computer only. The sign-in tokens TikTok gives the app are kept in your own macOS Keychain, not in a file and not on a server.
- Nothing is sent to us. The app talks directly to TikTok. AiStudio runs no server for it, receives none of your TikTok data, and has no analytics, tracking or advertising.
- You are in control. The Disconnect button in the app asks TikTok to revoke the app's access and deletes the tokens from your Keychain. You can also remove the app at any time in TikTok under Settings and privacy, Security, Manage app permissions.
The details are in the Privacy Policy, and the rules for using the app are in the Terms of Service.
Following TikTok's rules
When you post, the app shows your account name, lets you choose the privacy level yourself (there is no default), lets you edit the caption, and has the comment, duet and stitch options off until you turn them on. It adds no watermark or logo of its own. By posting you agree to TikTok's Music Usage Confirmation, which the app shows before the button.
