This is a pretty exciting example of leveraging local AI models

As a former founder, I hate when big companies kill startups—but unfortunately, this idea will have a 72 hour shelf life.

Frequently asked questions

What is Bouncer?

Bouncer is an app that lets you take control of your X (Twitter) feed. You decide what disappears. Type in a phrase, keyword, or even an emoji, and Bouncer quietly removes matching posts from your feed.

How does Bouncer actually heal my feed?

Bouncer hides the posts you don't want to see. X notices the change in what you engage with. Over a day or two, the algorithm shifts to serve you more of what you actually like. The result is a feed that feels tailored to you, not to the platform.

What can I filter out?

Anything you can name. Try a vibe like "arrogance" or "pessimism." Try a topic, a phrase, an emoji, even a color. If you see a post you hate, hit the trash icon. Bouncer will suggest three reasons it might be annoying you, and one click removes that post along with everything like it.

Where can I use Bouncer?

Bouncer works on X today, as a Chrome extension and as an iOS app in the Apple App Store. Support for Reddit and LinkedIn is coming next.

Does Bouncer collect my data?

No. Bouncer runs in your browser. It does not collect or store identifying data about you.

What powers the filtering?

A small open-source language model called Qwen3.5-4B. It is large enough to understand context, small enough to keep pace with your scrolling.
