ClearTok

I wanted to briefly explain why I shared ClearTok again.

The original project was hosted under a domain that included the word “TikTok”.

Over time, it became clear that using platform trademarks in domain names can

cause issues, and eventually the original domain was taken down after a complaint.

There was no drama or conflict — it was simply a reminder that even small

side projects need to be careful about naming and compliance.

Rather than stopping the project, I decided to migrate everything to a

neutral brand domain (cleartok.io), clean things up properly, and continue

working on the tool.

Reposting ClearTok here is mainly to reflect that clarification and migration.

The product itself hasn’t fundamentally changed, but the branding and setup

are now much more sustainable long-term.

If anything, this was a good lesson in building indie projects:

naming, domains, and trademarks matter earlier than you might expect.

I built ClearTok as a small side project after helping a few friends clean up

old reposts on their TikTok accounts.

The problem itself was simple, but the process wasn’t.

Manually unreposting dozens of videos was slow and frustrating,

especially for people who aren’t technical.

I wanted something lightweight that could handle this one task well,

without scripts, complex workflows, or setup friction.

So I started building a browser-based tool focused only on cleanup.

ClearTok is still early, but building it has been a good reminder that

even very small problems can be worth solving if they’re real and repetitive.
