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.
