Working when we checked on 9 November 2026 (tested in a browser, no bot check). Live channels and categories loaded. iPhone 7 (iOS 14): streams are H.264 and AAC over HLS, and Safari plays them with its own player.
Checked on 9 November 2026 from two different networks, with the user agent of Safari on iOS 15.8 (the newest system for an iPhone 7). Talk about this guide in the Privacy Enjoyers board.
Status: The SafeTwitch repository is archived (read-only) since February 2026. Instances still load, but they will not get fixes.
What it replaces
SafeTwitch replaces the Twitch website for watching streams and browsing channels.
- Streams and channel pages without Twitch's trackers.
- Follow streamers locally, in your own browser, without a Twitch account.
Instances on 9 November 2026
| Address | Result | Note |
|---|---|---|
| safetwitch.darkness.services | works | Live channels load (browser check). |
| safetwitch.ducks.party | loads | Start page only. |
| twitch.sudovanilla.org | loads | Start page only. |
Results: works = a real content page came back; bot check = a short JavaScript check runs before the site opens; loads = the start page opens, but a content page was not confirmed; moved = the address now forwards somewhere else; down = no answer. Public instances change often, so check the project's own instance list too.
How to use it
- Open an instance.
- Search for a channel or open a stream.
On an iPhone 7 (iOS 15.8, Safari 15.6)
Our code scan found no syntax that Safari 15.6 lacks, but stream playback was not tested on an iPhone 7.
What you keep private, and what you do not
Twitch sees the instance's server instead of you for the pages you open. The instance you choose still sees your IP address and the pages you open, the same as any website does, so pick an operator you trust, or run your own copy. No guide here needs an account or an email address.
Run your own copy
- Source code: https://codeberg.org/SafeTwitch/safetwitch.
- Last code change seen on 2026-02-08; the repository is archived (read-only).
- The project keeps its documentation in its wiki.
Known problems
- The project is archived, so a Twitch change can break it for good.
